What we do

Market entry, from assessment to execution.

We go through every stage of the process — from understanding the local market’s peculiarities to building and executing the go-to-market plan for your operation.

How a project starts.

To start, we will be pleased to schedule a first meeting to understand the company’s motivations and objectives concerning the expansion and development plan.

From there, once we understand the market your company operates in, we present the project proposal. That is how we work: with every relevant fact in hand, so the project moves in the right direction from day one through to delivery.

How we work

A lean, four-step model that turns a global manufacturer into an active, winning player in the Brazilian market.

01

Map

We start with a dedicated market study, pairing our market intelligence with commercial intelligence to map demand, competitors and the real openings in your sector.

02

Represent

We become your local team in Brazil, carrying your brand with full commercial ownership and day-to-day accountability.

03

Connect

We open direct, trusted access to the decision-makers who actually move your deals forward.

04

Deliver

We negotiate, close and manage the full account cycle, staying with you long after the first sale.

SIS Nexus

Proprietary trade intelligence, not guesswork.

Two products built on the same engine: import data turned into decisions — as a standalone tool, and as continuous intelligence for the principals we represent in Brazil.

A growing line of business in its own right: principals we already represent, like Tata Steel and British Steel, subscribe to it separately from the representation agreement itself.

Five sectors, from the inside

Where Brazil’s industrial demand meets our expertise.

Mining, steel, construction, yellow goods and agribusiness — the five markets we know intimately, sized with the same data we use to advise our principals.

01

Mining

The world’s second-largest iron-ore producer and a global leader in niobium, gold, bauxite, copper and manganese, mining anchors Brazil’s trade balance.

2nd

Largest iron-ore producer in the world

94%

Of the world’s niobium reserves

2nd

Largest rare-earth reserves worldwide

Where SIS wins

This capital cycle runs through a concentrated set of operators, from Vale and CBMM to CSN Mineração, Anglo American and a wave of critical-mineral entrants. Selling equipment and technology into them takes local presence, technical support and trust — that is what SIS provides.

02

Steel

Brazil is Latin America’s largest steel producer and ranks 9th worldwide, a cornerstone of the country’s industrial economy.

#1

Steel producer in Latin America

9th

Largest steel producer in the world

31

Plants, across 11 producer groups

Leading producers: ArcelorMittal · CSN · Gerdau · Ternium · Usiminas

Where SIS wins

Brazil’s mills, from Gerdau and ArcelorMittal to Usiminas, CSN, Ternium and Aperam, buy grades and technology they cannot make at home. Reaching them takes qualification, quota navigation and trusted relationships — that is where SIS delivers.

03

Construction

Powered by the federal Novo PAC program, the largest public investment plan in the country’s history, delivered by builders such as MRV, Cyrela, Direcional and Andrade Gutierrez.

R$1.7tn

Novo PAC national investment pipeline

5.8M

Homes in the national housing deficit

Where SIS wins

Supplying materials, equipment and technology into that pipeline, and to the builders delivering it, takes local reach and trusted relationships — that is what SIS provides.

04

Yellow Goods

A leading market for construction and earthmoving equipment, driven by Brazil’s construction, mining and agribusiness cycles.

~30%

Of machines now sold through rental fleets

Key OEMs: Caterpillar · Komatsu · Volvo CE · XCMG · Sany · John Deere

Where SIS wins

The market is led by foreign OEMs, alongside a fast-growing rental fleet. Selling machines, wear parts and undercarriage into it takes local distribution and support — through principals like CLIK and Huigong.

05

Agribusiness

Brazil is a global agricultural powerhouse and the world’s largest soybean exporter, holding roughly 60% of world soybean trade.

#1

Fertilizer importer in the world

~85%

Of fertilizer demand imported

Largest farm producer worldwide

Leading players: JBS · Marfrig · Minerva · BRF · Cargill · Bunge

Where SIS wins

Brazil’s fields are supplied from abroad, reaching thousands of producers, cooperatives and traders such as Cargill, Bunge and Amaggi. Winning that market takes distribution, agronomy know-how and local trust — that is what SIS builds.
