Off we went again, Jerry and yours truly to the land of Caipirinhia and Beef… Tudo bem and Bon Dia…. friendly people with always a smile on their face…
But the start wasn’t that good, my flight was canceled and before I knew i was rerouted over Lisbon, entering a TAP Air Portugal airplane with a stop over in Lisbon… almost 22 hrs after I left home I arrived in the hotel, toasted…
Monday morning we start with a visit to one of our smaller sheet metal suppliers… pretty amazing operation….
Next a supplier of relais and switches…
Ever saw how they wind spools for relais?
For lunch we invited two other suppliers, one for carburetor rebuild kits, the other for pedal assemblies…
Real meat for real people… no, we’re not veggie yet…:)
Afternoon we visited a distribution warehouse and an export house… not many fancy picture moments, but the size was pretty clear here!
….and off the hotel again… day one, 6 suppliers, let’s call it a night… 6 is enough on one day…. especially in Sao Paolo traffic!
Tomorrow we have three other factories, hopefully with interesting picture moments so you can all enjoy with us, stay tuned….:)
