Exhibitors from eight Brazilian companies will feature attractive plastic housewares at the ASD Variety and Value Show in Las Vegas Sunday July 31st through Wednesday August 3rd. You don’t want to miss the opportunity of seeing these lovely and distinctive plastic housewares.

Brazilian plastic housewares are known for their quality and diversity. Eight manufacturers from Brazil will be presenting their assortment of plastic housewares, and you won’t want to miss these exhibits.

The Export Plastic Program has about 70 member companies, 40 of which specialize in plastic housewares. Together, these companies exported plastics to over 50 countries in Europe, North America, South America and Africa for an export volume of $36 million in 2010. This was a 12.5 percent increase over Brazilian plastics exported in 2009.

The Export Plastic Program was created in December 2003 through collaboration between the Brazilian integrated plastic supply chain (ranked among the 10 largest in the world) and Apex-Brasil (Brazilian Trade and Investment Promotion Agency). Brazilian plastic companies are renowned for their high technology as well as the quality of their human resources.

Under the coordination of the Brazilian Plastic Institute (INP), the Export Plastic Program promotes the exporting of finished plastic products by encouraging Brazilian plastic industries to develop and expand their business overseas. For housewares buyers, this means high-quality products with product availability and on-time delivery on plastic housewares that fit your local market demand.
