With experience acquired during this long period on a world leader multinational in aluminum fabrication, was identified an evident supplier deficiency for such products manufactured in Brazil, Argentina, Venezuela and Colombia, as well as technical assistance service for development of new products and process improvement, having as consequence a deadlock on growth of these company.

Years 2004 and 2005

Conceived and founded. Beginning of intense qualification activities of North American, European and Asian manufactures of laminated aluminum. In 2005 was identified a new business opportunity, beginning that way tahiti limes export to Europe, Canada and Middle East.

Starts import of aluminum foil through management between foreign and national companies. Following that, were initialized the first importations by trading and distribution operations for small clients or low consumption, where local manufactures weren't able to attend. In this period, the foils were carrying from diverse Europe countries.

Aiming to compete with high quality segments of rolled aluminum products was necessary to expand horizons, and bring the high technological capability, large production capacity and products quality from that country. Therefore, commercial relationship with Chinese companies was strengthened, appearing the first strategics partners.
