New market journey: learn from Tramontina’s case

Expanding into new markets is a complex task, requiring careful consideration of language and cultural differences. 

For Tramontina, a leading Brazilian manufacturer of household goods, entering the Arabic-speaking market presented unique challenges, particularly in the realm of translation and packaging. 

Here’s how we, at Netwire Global, partnered with Tramontina to navigate these challenges and achieve success.

The Challenge: Exporting to Arabic-Speaking Countries

Tramontina's venture into Arabic-speaking markets required translating product packaging and labels accurately. 

This task, while seemingly straightforward, involved nuances that necessitated expertise and attention to detail. 

Initial Responsibility: Translating Text

Our initial role was focused on translating the text for Tramontina’s labels and packaging. 

The objective was to convey the product information accurately in Arabic, maintaining the integrity of the original Portuguese content. 

The Arabic Language Twist: Unique Characteristics

Arabic is a language with distinct characteristics, particularly regarding word breaks in sentences. 

Unlike many languages, Arabic script flows right to left and requires special consideration for proper word wrapping. 

This posed a significant layout challenge when adapting the translated text from Portuguese to Arabic, often resulting in misaligned or improperly formatted text.

A Layout Dilemma: Printer Struggles

The packaging printers, unfamiliar with Arabic, struggled to fit the translated text correctly. 

This not only led to delays in production but also caused communication issues between Tramontina and the printing teams. 

The lack of language knowledge at the printing stage was a bottleneck, affecting the efficiency and quality of the packaging process.

Our Solution: Taking Charge of Layout

To overcome these obstacles, we proposed a comprehensive solution: handling the layout of the labels and packaging post-translation. 

By taking on this additional responsibility, we eliminated unnecessary delays and streamlined communication with the printers. 

This approach ensured that the Arabic text was correctly formatted and ready for printing without further modifications.

Commitment to Excellence: Streamlining Processes

Our dedication to providing effective solutions for our clients is unwavering. 

By leveraging all our resources, we streamlined the packaging process for Tramontina, ensuring smooth transitions from translation to final printing. 

Results: Cost Reduction and Efficiency

Our proactive approach yielded significant benefits for Tramontina. 

We reduced production costs by minimizing errors and delays, performed the tasks more efficiently, and met the demands of the market seamlessly. 

The result was a timely, high-quality delivery of Tramontina’s products to the Arabic-speaking market, reinforcing their brand’s reputation and market presence.

Partnership for Success: A Model of Excellence

Our partnership with Tramontina is a testament to our commitment to excellence and problem-solving. 

This collaboration highlights the potential for businesses to thrive globally with the right partners by their side.

From Brazil to the Arabic-speaking world, our journey with Tramontina showcases the power of innovation and commitment.

The Second Edition of Scania Experience: A Gamified Training Success

On May 8th, Netwire Global had the privilege of hosting the second edition of the Scania Experience, a personalized event designed to reinforce Scania's leadership principles through an innovative and engaging training session. 

This event brought together company leaders in a unique setting, combining gamification with practical leadership training.

An Immersive Gamified Training

The Scania Experience transformed traditional training into a dynamic Escape Room adventure. 

Company leaders participated in this gamified training, navigating through rooms set up as crime scenes. 

The immersive environment was further enhanced by actors in character as lobby boys, creating a realistic and engaging experience that effectively conveyed leadership values.

Reinforcing Leadership Principles

The primary goal of this event was to reinforce Scania's leadership principles in a memorable and impactful way.

 By integrating gamification, we provided a hands-on learning experience that allowed leaders to actively engage with the content. 

This approach not only made the training more enjoyable but also ensured that the key messages were effectively communicated and retained.
