Brazilian Foundry The Key Numbers Foundries Revenue Direct Labor Annual Production Installed Capacity Companies size
1 200 + US$ 3.0 billion + 54 000 jobs 2.8 million t 3.10 million t/year 95% Small/Medium
Brazilian Foundry
Strategic Analysis - Strengths Labor force: abundant, low cost, receptive and trained Management: flexible, open minded Acquired and adapted know how Low production cost Good image (quality and delivery) Solid economical profile of companies Strong class entities (state and federal)
Brazilian Foundry
Strategic Analysis - Weaknesses Capital shortage for investment Environmental legislation compliance Low reference in international market Low knowledge about foreign competitors
Brazilian Foundry
Strategic Analysis - Opportunities Good location Near to foreign markets (Europe and USA) Nearby raw material suppliers (pig iron, steel scrap, ferro-alloys, resins, sand, tooling, etc.) Near to technical colleges and schools Local concentrations of competitors and their chain of suppliers Political and economical stability of the country Demanding markets (domestic and foreign) Chinese vulnerability New markets to be opened
Brazilian Foundry Strategic Analysis - Threats Chinese production / price / subsidized cost Shortage of certain raw material (resin, ferro-alloys) Country’s logistics and infrastructure Foreign trade barriers High interest rates / cost of money Volatile exchange rate Volatile federal policies (electrical power, tax law, etc.) Bureaucracy
Brazilian Foundry
Strategic Analysis - CFS CRITICAL SUCCESS FACTORS Increase production capacity Acquire funds for investment at reasonable rates Reduce production costs Implement marketing policies to penetrate new markets and to sustain current ones
