Surging Profits: Transforming a Brazilian Energy Company’s Surplus into a Lucrative Global Enterprise
Here's What We Do Better
Background
Our client is an energy company based in Brazil that specializes in renewable energy production. With a diverse range of products and services catering to various industries, their primary target markets are energy-intensive industries and government agencies seeking clean and sustainable energy solutions. Despite having a strong domestic presence, the company faced challenges in finding international buyers for its surplus products.
Problem
The energy company struggled to find buyers for its surplus products, which negatively impacted its revenue and profitability. Additionally, the company was unable to expand its business to new markets due to a lack of established networks and distribution channels. These factors hindered the company’s growth and created significant pressure on its financial performance.

This involved conducting thorough market research, analyzing the client’s product portfolio, and evaluating the compatibility of potential partners. Once suitable partners were identified, we guided the client through the negotiation process, ensuring that the agreements were mutually beneficial and aligned with the client’s objectives.
