An export trading company acts as an intermediary between domestic manufacturers and foreign buyers, providing assistance with exporting products to foreign markets. Thus, an export trading company would be the best choice to assist Pittsfield Fabric with selling fabrics to European consumers. The other choices, including master distributor, commission agent, franchiser, and retailer, may not possess the necessary knowledge, experience, or resources to successfully navigate the complexities of exporting to foreign markets.
