S\u00e3o Paulo \u2013 The manual tools, like files, saws, pliers, socket wrenches, hammers and bi-metal saws, made in Brazil by North American multinational Apex Tool Group, are already shipped to five Arab countries: Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar and Jordan.<\/p>\n
"The Arab market represents a significant opportunity. They are good buyers that place great orders, which ends up making it a very worthwhile market," said export manager Marina Dias dos Santos.<\/p>\n
According to her, the annual average of sales to the Arab countries is 400,000 Brazilian reals (US$ 237,000). "We have a manager in Dubai who takes care of the business with the region and we believe that the tendency should be to increase sales in 2011," added Marina.<\/p>\n
According to the manager, company exports started in 1995, to countries in South America, Europe and Africa. The first exports to the Arab countries took place in 2003.<\/p>\n
The company is one of the main producers of manual tools on the Brazilian market and has been in the country since 1972, with a factory in Sorocaba, in the interior of S\u00e3o Paulo. In Brazil, the company has an industrial area of over 25,000 square meters and 700 employees.<\/p>\n
The history of the Apex Tool Group multinational began in 1833, when Cooper Industries was established in Mount Vernon, Ohio, in the United States. From a small smelter, the company evolved to a large factory present all over the world.<\/p>\n
In 2010, Cooper Industries and Danaher Corporation, also in the United States, announced a joint venture, establishing Apex Tool Group, headquartered in Sparks, in the United States. The company currently has installations in over 30 countries and 7,600 employees.<\/p>\n
