In 2014, Saudi women got their chance to wear the brand, which exports to 20 different countries.<\/p>\n<p><!--[{![cemb_9_710783_2]!}]--><\/p>\n<p>Bebec&ecirc; makes a wide variety of women&rsquo;s shoes, including boots, heelless shoes, flats and combat boots, among other models. The top-selling items in Arab countries are pumps and flats. <\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;They buy napa leather, varnish, suede, coated shoes, shoes made of various fabrics in the colors black, nude, red, caramel and blue,&rdquo; says Exports coordinator Katia Thums.<\/p>\n<p>Sales to the Middle East are made once a year, both directly and via export-import traders. The Arab buyers are distributors. This year, Bebec&ecirc; sold 3,000 pairs to the UAE and 5,500 pairs to Saudi Arabia. <\/p>\n<p>The company&rsquo;s top destinations include countries in Central and South America. Bolivia and Ecuador are the biggest single buyers. Bebec&ecirc; makes approximately 15,000 pairs of shoes a day and ships 3% of output abroad, but that is about to change.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;We are placing more of a focus on exports now. Our goal is to grow internationally. We plan to export 190,000 pairs in 2016,&rdquo; the executive reveals. &ldquo;I believe we have a lot of growing to do. We&rsquo;ve only just started and the outlook is great,&rdquo; says Thums. According to her, the company hired a trader to go on international client prospecting trips.<\/p>\n<p>In Brazil, Bebec&ecirc; goes to the industry shows Francal, Couromoda, the International Leather and Shoe Trade Fair (SICC) and Zero Grau. According to Thums, these events are &ldquo;very positive&rdquo; in boosting the company&rsquo;s exports. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Contact <\/strong><br \/>Bebec&ecirc;<br \/>Website: www.bebece.com.br<br \/>Phone: +55 51 3546-8000<br \/>Email: kthums@bebece.com.br<\/p>\n<p><strong>*Translated by Gabriel Pomerancblum<\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"credits-overlay\" data-target=\".wp-image-183469\">Press Release<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Brazil\u2019s Bebec\u00ea exports shoes and sandals to Saudi Arabia and the UAE.
