South Service Trading is a company with 35 years of experience operating in and outside Brazil, specializing in import, export, logistics solutions, and working capital for SMEs.
The company was born as one of the flagships of the Vale do Rio dos Sinos region: the footwear sector. South Service Trading, formed by executives from the financial sector, was launched with the aim of professionalizing the sector and offering complete export solutions.
In the early 2000s, South Service accounted for more than 10% of Rio Grande do Sul's footwear exports. This amounted to around 200 million dollars a year.
With the experience gained in the footwear sector, Trading can successfully diversify its solutions to other sectors, as well as import operations.
Today, South Service Trading is a benchmark in exports and imports, always with an emphasis on improving its clients' working capital, by advancing part of the amounts exported even before the goods are shipped, or, in the case of imports, financing the sea time and/or nationalization costs.
