After completing the preliminary study with partial funding from Nopef, the Swedish environmental technology company Processfilter Sweden AB started the sale of industrial filter facilities to industrial companies in Brazil.
Collaboration is also underway regarding an engineering workshop that can build the filter facilities on sight in São Paulo.
The interest in environmental technology is strong in Brazil, where the Swedish industry made its first export business back in 1891.
Today, there are nearly 200 established Swedish companies Brazil. The ties were further strengthened after Prime Minister Fredrik Reinfeldt's recent visit to the country this spring.
Brazil is a large market with strong growth in which the demands on industrial emissions will now be further tightened. In other words, this is a good opportunity for Processfilter Sweden AB.
Having local production reduces the cost of shipping as well as the high import duty on industrial goods. Processfilter Sweden AB also gets a better insight and understanding of the local market.
