S\u00e3o Paulo \u2013 Exports by Inti are still sporadic, but the producer of decoration mosaics, headquartered in Tubar\u00e3o, in the state of Santa Catarina, aims to change this scenery and become prominent in the Arab world. The company has already closed two deals with a retailer in Bahrain, and this contact should generate great fruit.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe (the distributor) aims to open a studio with our products and take them to other countries in the region,\u201d explains Tarcila Pilon, the export manager at Inti. The client, whose name she decided not to reveal, has a building product showroom that includes Brazilian brands.<\/p>\n
She said that the client\u2019s orders totalled 1769 items, in both lines produced by the company. Inti tiles, for use on floors and walls, are made manually, using material like marble, wood, glass, Brazilian stones, coconut husk and ox horn, among others.<\/p>\n
Contact with the client from Bahrain was in March this year, during Expo Revestir \u2013 the Brazilian Coverings Exhibition, which took place in S\u00e3o Paulo. Before that, the company had already participated in the Big 5, the main fair in the building sector in the Middle East, in 2007 and 2008, which also generated business in the Emirates. \u201cAt the Big 5, we added mosaics in glass with silkscreen, with layers of gold and crystal. They love it,\u201d said the executive.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Arab market is promising,\u201d stated Tarcila. \u201cThe building sector is heated, they are always renewing their homes. We are greatly interested in taking material there, and we have no problems in adapting our products to that market,\u201d she pointed out. The executive adds that the company plans to return to participate in the fair in Dubai.<\/p>\n
The United States is another market to which Inti has already exported its tiles. The company has 60 employees and production at the factory is 10,000 items a month.<\/p>\n
According to Tarcila, the artistic production process makes the products exclusive, as it is not possible to reproduce the details of the items in a second load. The company has 1,000 items in its catalogue and prices range from 2.38 Brazilian reals (US$ 1.50) and 77.78 reals (US$ 49) per item.<\/p>\n
