Project Overview:

The internationalization project aims to strengthen Socem EDs presence in foreign markets, also innovating in the way we interact with the customer.

The project contemplates the creation of a strategic plan in the commercial area and in the way the company relates to customers, promoting the Socem brand across borders, fostering a global brand capable of serving its customers anywhere in the world , with an integrated offer of mold engineering and development solutions, also innovating in the way customers can follow their projects.

 The prospect of new markets, the increase of the brand in countries where there are already small commercial relations and others with great potential, but still little explored by Socem, will be the goals to be achieved through prospective visits and presence in fairs of the sector.
