With investments of R$ 9 million, Boaonda is preparing for expansion. 

Boaonda, an injected footwear industry based in Sapiranga, Rio Grande do Sul, is increasing its presence in the sector's market through significant investments. According to the footwear company, this year's investments in expanding the factory, machinery, and equipment are expected to total more than R$ 9 million.  

The brand's manager, Cássio Romani, explains that the expansion of the factory will be ready in the first half of next year and will require a total investment of over R$ 4 million. "Regarding machinery and equipment, with an investment of R$ 5 million, some are already in operation, and the rest are on their way," says the businessman, adding that the flagship investment is in an injection machine for EVA raw material. 

Perspective 

Despite considering the year "challenging," with instability in both domestic and international markets, Romani expresses confidence in good results, especially due to the work the brand has been doing with its customers, always focusing on quality, comfort, and sustainability. "The estimate is to grow by 12% in production in 2023," he projects.  

One of Boaonda's commercial promotion strategies is participating in the world's major footwear fairs. In Brazil, the company's next stop is at the Brazilian Footwear Show - BFSHOW, a footwear exhibition organized by the Brazilian Association of Footwear Industries (Abicalçados) and operated by NürnbergMesse Brasil, taking place from November 21 to 23 at the FIERGS Events Center in Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do Sul.
