The first business of the Jaci furniture factory in the Middle East took place in 2003, but sales to the region only took off after participation in Index, the furniture fair in the Emirates, last year. The company is therefore going to participate in the fair again in November this year, and it hopes to multiply exports.

Estobel, a maker of sofas and armchairs, exports 7% of production to the countries in the Mercosur and Central America and to Portugal and Greece. The company target is to increase foreign sales to around 20%. One of the strategies is participation in the Index furniture fair, to take place in the United Arab Emirates, in November.

BRV Móveis already sells to the United Arab Emirates and Kuwait. The company target is to elevate Arab market participation to 15% of total exports. In November, the company is going to participate in the Index fair, in Dubai, for the second time. The objective is to expand the number of clients in the region.

Braminas exports 40% of its red granite production to the Arab country, which has been buying from the company for over 20 years. So as to win new markets in the region, the company is going to participate in the Big 5 Show, in November, in the United Arab Emirates.

Global Era, in the southeastern Brazilian capital of São Paulo, started operating one month ago and has as its main markets of operation the Asian and Arab countries. The idea is to provide consulting and training for those interested in exporting, apart from helping in the negotiations themselves.

Entry into the market in the region is among the company plans. Mannes is in the interior of the state of Santa Catarina and, apart from upholstered furniture, makes mattresses, pillows and foam rubber. A company executive is going to travel to Dubai in November to present the brand products to Arab importers.

The release of the group created by the Brazilian High-End Furniture Manufacturers Association (Abimad) will be organized at the Index, the furniture sector fair to take place in Dubai, in the United Arab Emirates, at which the Arab Brazilian Chamber of Commerce will be present. In 2006, the Abimad intends to bring Arab retailers to a fair in Brazil.

This is the evaluation of Abdel Wahab Mansur, the director of Lotas Comércio Exterior, a company that represents a series of Egyptian companies. The show took place last week at the Arab Chamber Space. To the Egyptian commercial consul in São Paulo, Mohamed Bakri Agami, it is necessary to proceed with promotion of Egyptian products in Brazil.
