German Oil and Gas companies Forge Strong Bilateral Partnerships across Brazil 

October 3, 2014

 

With Brazil firmly ensconced as one of the largest suppliers of conventional oil in developing country regions, it is clear why German Oil and Gas companies are forging strong bilateral partnerships across the industry. Many of these companies are establishing operating agreements with Petrobras, Brazil’s largest energy company. While current oil and gas production in Brazil has seen steady growth since inception over sixty years ago, recent discoveries of new oil sources are already fueling an exponential increase in production, making these synergistic partnerships more important than ever.

 

Similarly, German-based pump maker, Leistritz, is looking to open a local office to better serve the Brazilian market. “We’re ready for the next step with Brazil,” said Leistritz Managing Director Mr. Heinz-Dieter Ross.  With a 90-year history as an innovative technology market leader and a full range of products and applications that can be adapted to local markets, Leistritz already counts Petrobras, Shell, and Statoil among clients. The company is now laying the groundwork for future business and showing its commitment using local manufacturing and content.  “We are ready to centralize our R&D in Brazil to develop the best pumps with local customization,” confirmed Mr. Ross.
