Treball desenvolupat dins el marc del programa 'European Project Semester'.

This report is a complete description of our work during European Project Semester developed at Fachhochschule Kiel (Germany), between March and June 2015. We had to explain all the steps of our project, showing the methodology adopted to reach our results and conclusions finally obtained. Moreover, this report should to be easy to understand by every external person from the project. Therefore, we had to explain all the specific words and expressions employed. The introduction presents the project, the goals to reach, the different actors and at the end introduces the main parts of the development. Indeed, the main body has been divided into different parts, showing all the various fields of our project in a clear and concise manner. Furthermore, we have included appendices to illustrate our points and show concretely some tasks done like data sheets, pictures, documents used… These appendices are connected to the main body by references. At last, we incorporated a bibliography gathering all the supporting scientific sources of our report, like published articles or books, listed by author surname. During this project, Otto Markert & Sohn GmbH, Neumünster (MARKERT) was our client to conduct this market research. One important goal for MARKERT is to expand their business internationally. The company is interested in the Australian mining and minerals market for filter technology and wants to sell its products “filter cloths”.
