“We will see about $US 300 million in revenue this year from local sales and
exports of Brazilian-made components,” said Valeo South America president Alain
Keruzore.

He expects the increase in revenue to come from higher local market sales and
increased exports to other South American countries of wiper blades, clutches
and alternators – with shipments both to vehicle makers and aftermarket
suppliers.

The company started Brazilian production of these components in Brazil in 1999.

“We have a lot of scope to grow in these sectors” Keruzore said.
