As a visitor to the show, Brazilian businessman Enio Alexsandro Cassiano, partner-director at <strong>Thermoceram<\/strong>, even closed deals with a distributor in Dubai. \u201cThe contacts we made at the show were incredibly positive. The best contact we had was at a meeting scheduled by the Arab Brazilian Chamber.

In addition to distributors, Rodrigues also met owners of restaurants and lounges in Dubai. This caught the attention of the Brazilian, who is now carrying out a study to decide whether the company will have a point of sale in Dubai. \u201cMany people wanted to know if we already had a distributor. We are considering opening distribution there, but that would be for next year. If we get a distributor from there, it could be faster [to export],\u201d she explained.<\/p>\n<p>The company\u2019s participation in the show was complemented by a schedule of meetings also organized by the Arab Brazilian Chamber of Commerce (ABCC). \u201cWe spoke with seven importers; one of them even invited us to visit a lounge in the city.
