3S announces strategic partnership with Boreal for South America

3S Photonics Group of Nozay, France, which makes chips, optical discrete modules and passive components for the laser, sensing and telecom markets, says that Boreal Communications will serve as its sales representative in South America and, more specifically, the Brazilian market. Boreal will provide sales and support services, enabling continued distribution of 3S’ products in this region.

Boreal Communications was founded in 1997 in California, USA, with offices strategically located in Campinas and São José dos Campos, in the state of São Paulo, Brazil. It started by offering services such as purchasing, marketing, consulting and sales for firms in San Francisco Bay Area. Boreal has since established an infrastructure of technical sales in Brazil to serve the market for telecoms infrastructure and for services, components, equipment and software in the whole of Latin America.

3S says that the agreement illustrates its ambition to pursue its international expansion and should contribute to its aim to grow turnover to $100m by the end of 2012. It adds that, by working with Boreal, it both enlarges its distribution channel in South America and better serves the customer base in that specific area, participating in the rapidly growing markets of South America.
