Tech/Engineering - Marketing / Market Research / Marketing slogan
German term or phrase: Immer stark vor Ort
Ein Unternehmen für Werkzeug- und Maschinenbau wählt als Slogan "Immer stark vor Ort", der sich auch nochmals in einer Textstelle wiederholt:

Als Fachhändler für Werkzeug, Maschinen und Betriebseinrichtungen sind wir ein zuverlässiger Partner für Industrie und Handwerk. **Immer stark vor Ort** - das bedeutet für uns, unsere Kunden in München, Nürnberg und auch weit darüber hinaus individuell beraten und beliefern zu können.

Meine "Ideen" hören sich bisher recht konstruiert an, deshalb wende ich mich an Euch und bedanke mich jetzt schon für jede Hilfe!!

Vielen Dank Euch allen für die tollen Vorschläge! Mir ist natürlich klar, dass ich als Nicht-Muttersprachler marketingspezifische Formulierungen nicht annähernd so treffend in die Fremdsprache übertragen kann wie ein "native speaker". Der Text wies nur diese eine "Stolperfalle" auf und war ansonsten technisch gehalten. Die Rücksprache mit dem Kunden ergab, dass ihm die kurze und knackige Formulierung "Ever on the spot" am besten gefiel.

We have a strong local presence


Explanation:
This could be O.K. as it is explained immediately afterwards and the "strength" is obviously needed as a metapher for the sturdy tools the company makes

neutral  Ramey Rieger (X): I believe it refers to their location flexibility, i.e. where the client is, is where the company goes to advise and deliver.

  -> Well, the "strong local presence" could be in Munich and Nuremberg in the first instance with other ports of call nearer the customers.
