Volume sold in the foreign market was higher compared to the same period of 2016. The North American market now represents 50% of the company's exports
Termomecanica, a leader in the non-ferrous metal transformation sector (copper and its alloys), closed the first half of 2017 with an 18% increase in its exports, compared to the same period of last year. The index has evolved above two digits annually: in 2016, the volume sold to the foreign market was 13% higher than in 2015. The curve is expected to remain upward, reaching growth of 20%, up to The end of the year.
Currently the main consumer market of Termomecanica outside Brazil is the United States, responsible for 50% of exports. This result can be attributed to the high technical capacity achieved through the investments that have been made in recent years, mainly in the modernization of manufacturing processes and equipment, especially in the pipe and laminate line.
"The acquisition of some equipment that remained to complete the modernization plan for the laminate line, for example, enables us to meet some extremely demanding features, applications and specifications that we could not previously achieve. We started this prospecting work at the end of 2015 and despite the already expressive results, the prospects are even more promising as regards the development of this market in the second half of the year, "says Marcelo Silva, exports manager at Termomecanica.
Sales to South America, especially Argentina, also continue to represent a significant portion of exports, especially as a result of transactions between related companies. The Distribution Center, located in that country, has been crucial to increasing sales, benefiting both distributors and direct sales. "Being closer to our customers enabled us to improve service and speed delivery, helping our customers reduce their inventory. This proximity also allows us to expand the product offering and brings us an important competitive advantage over our competitors, "he concludes.
