Who are we?
Our Mission
The mission of Platatrade is to become the premium turnkey industrial business broker in the Spanish speaking area of the Mercosur (Argentina, Uruguay and Paraguay) for international clients, whilst providing complimentary services such as research and consulting, headhunting, public relations and translations/interpreting.
Our TEAM
Platatrade is headed by the founder Josef Valek, who works personally with every client to put together a tailor-made package. His son Josef takes care of technical aspects such as graphic design, programming, internet scraping, SEO,, e-commerce, etc. The remaining professional team members are proven outsourced lawyers, accountants, consultants and teams located on the ground in their respective countries and industries.
We bring value
We come with decades of European industrial and technological experience so we know what our clients are looking for. We are multi-lingual and able to communicate across culture lines, i.e. not only Spanish / English, but also German, Czech and Russian. We are passionate about Argentina and Paraguay and see these two countries as the up-and-coming stars on the world stage. We are on-the-ground and deal with all parties personally face to face. We do the critical research, analysis and oportunity identification and reject losers as a matter of principle.
