Company introduction and history
The idea of building a consultancy company to help Finnish businesses to expand into the German market already initiated in 2012 when Mr. Schmidt moved to Finland.
During intensive networking the understanding has been growing that Finnish companies with good high potential products and solutions face a lack of sales experience and confidence in growing internationally.
As a result to assist this need in Finnish businesses 1Step was founded in February 2014.
