Closer Look: End-User Industries Spurring Opportunities in the Brazilian IPC Industry

Business Wire, June 23, 2008

PALO ALTO, Calif. -- The Economic, Research & Analytics practice at Frost & Sullivan is pleased to announce its 2008 Quarterly Analyst Briefing Presentation on the Brazilian IPC industry to be held on Wednesday, June 25, 2008 at 8:00 a.m. PDT.

The 2006 second election victory of Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva brought about a wave of policy changes. The Workers Party leads Brazil's government, is ambitious about investment infrastructure, a renewed focus on growth, with a particular interest on key end-user industries. Key end-user industries experience robust growth and numerous end-user industries are highly regulated by the Brazilian government.

This briefing will benefit manufacturers of original equipment, system integrators looking to invest in Brazil and investors that intend to expand.

"The Lula Government's Growth Acceleration Program (2007-2011) is slated to lead booming demand in the industrial automation and process control industry as the industry envisions investment in key end-user industries and infrastructure development and lifts Brazil into a higher growth trajectory," observes Frost & Sullivan Research Analyst Srivatsan Murali.
