Hello, 

I need a complete dbase/excel list of the medical/orthopedic supply
distributors/stores/shops/kiosks in Sweden. These contact details
should include manager/contact person, mailing address, email address,
and telephone number. The dbase should be updated(ie 2005).

I will pay 1 USD per contact. The max I can pay for this result though is 150 USD.

Thanks so much. 
Lee Smith :)

PS If this type of research interests you, please let me know. I am
interested in other countries also.

I could help you with contacts in U.K., Lithuania, Latvia, Poland, Ukraine, Russia.

Would be interested in The UK perhaps. But the other markets are not
ready for specialist shoes such as ours.

Please include one example of the contacts you have available for the
UK.  would you like to contact me directly? Or how should we proceed
in the case that we decide to work together.

Here are a couple of sites that may be able to help you - at a price:
http://www.tbrconsulting.se/index.html
http://www.internationalbusinessstrategies.com/page/IBS/PROD/1798?referrer=gadSWE

Here is a site with many contact addresses of a general nature:
http://strategis.ic.gc.ca/epic/internet/inimr-ri.nsf/en/gr109914e.htmlHere
a yellow page site that only finds one distributor:
http://www.gulasidorna.se/query?what=yp&content=ortopedisk%20sko&company_name=Olmed%20Ortopediska%20AB&campaign_code=19/06&customer_code=CU00037043&district_code=1

This one is better:

Type  ortopedisk   in the "sökord" field and hit "sök".  You should
get a list that looks like this:

"Din sökning har givit träff på följande 3 branscher.	
Medicinteknisk utrustning | 231 st
Specialister:
Ortopedisk utrustning, 1
Sjukvårdsartiklar | 86 st
Specialister:
Ortopediska artiklar, 3
Skor | 16 st
Specialister:
Ortopediska skor, 0"

telling you that the search found three branches, the last one is
"skor" = shoes, with 16 hits, none of which lists itself as
"ortopediska skor", a specialist.  This site search also does not find
anyone identifying themselves as agents or wholesalers, however, if
you click on a name, you get a link to Dunn & Bradstreet and the name
of the principal person when you click on "marknadsinfo".

When you click on "branschinfo", some of the names refer that more
info is found by searching with  "Sjukvårdsartiklar" at the original
branch level search, but this is not very fruitful:  everything from
bandages to dental items.

From all this, it appears that the Swedes have good feet (haha) and
that there are not 100 contact addresses that would be useful, but I
may be wrong, it has happened before.

You might consider a clarification reducing the required number of contacts.
If you do not get a response, you could just contact Olmed, which
seems quite large and ask  - English should be no problem.  Otherwise,
maybe one of the contacts on that other site.  I wouldn't hesitate to
contact the embassy.

Good luck, Myoarin

Note: Some researchers tend to avoid similar "$1 USD per contact"
offers because they can lead to a unrewarded
"research-at-your-own-risk" proposition:
