SW Exports already has a strong performance in foreign markets. Since being founded, in May 2001, West Africa has been the principal market of the company. In September 2001, with the contribution of S&W, TAM Transportes Aéreos and Cargolux, the largest European air cargo transport company, signed an agreement that facilitates exports to the African continent. This made it feasible to export tropical fruits and beef. In 2002 S&W increased its capacity of sales and expanded its business with other continents. The opening of the market, in a short space of time, to Southern Africa, European Union and Middle East countries, crowned the company&＃39;s quality assurance policy. SW operates in the exporting market by means of purchase and resale of Brazilian products to its partners in various countries around the world. In some deals, the company even operates as an export agent, making the contact between the suppliers and purchasers easier. The principal products currently being exported by S&W are: plastics, packaging, agricultural products, fruits, frozen or chilled beef, frozen chicken, one-day-old chicks among others.
