Australian headquartered dust and erosion control specialists GRT is continuing its global expansion with the opening of a new venture focusing on the Brazilian and wider Latin American markets.

GRT Brasil will focus on growing the business within the Brazilian market and use South America’s largest country and its biggest economy as a launching pad to engage with the region.

The company will focus on servicing the needs of the agri-business and resource sectors across the country providing a turnkey solution for the construction and maintenance of safer and more sustainable infrastructure and operations.

Demand for the firm’s products, services and engineering expertise is being driven by its ability to deliver high-quality, dust-free roads and its erosion prevention strategies – critical factors in combating environmental degradation and maintaining water quality. These issues are of crucial importance across Brazil and South America due to continuing economic growth driven by global demand for its resources and commodities – requiring improved site accessibility and safety standards to protect the community.

GRT General Manager, Daniel Grundy, believes that the firm’s proven expertise in dealing with difficult conditions developed from its experience of working within the Australian environment and its strategy of working with established partners in new markets will be critical to its success in this region.

“Our core focus in setting up the Brazilian arm of GRT is on provisioning the business with the same core staff comprised of experienced engineers, project managers and environmental management experts to ensure that the office is similar in make-up to what we’ve developed in Australia,” said Mr Grundy.
