Closer to our customers: IMD now has subsidiary in Brazil

IMD has had a presence in South America since 2000 by systems operating all over the continent.
In August 2019, IMD now opens an own subsidiary in Brazil with the company IMD (LATAM) Eireli based in São Paulo state with an own office space (commercial) in the premises of Sorocaba near the City of São Paulo. The office is a commercial and technical hub to serve Brazil and the continent of South America.
IMD LATAM will be present with experienced industry professionals (commercial and technical) to pick up the baton locally. This means that IMD will now be closer to its customers of the Latin American market – in line with the maxim "Only if you know your customers and listen to them, you will be able to know what they want." IMD will constantly inform and portrait the new company in regular intervals.
