Leader of the market in Brazil, Europa’s trademark also is widely recognised abroad, present in over 30 countries during 25 years of history. The acceptance of Europa’s products in the market abroad confers even more credibility and security to the Brazilian consumers, who find within the country water purifiers and whole house filters recognised among the best in the world regarding quality and technology.

Widening the focus on the foreign market, Europa intensified its export policy in 2002, seeking international partners. The strategy had effect and provided significant growth in exports from 2004 on, with a 63% increase in international operations. The result contributed towards new deals in 2005, which increased 126% the numbers obtained the previous year.

Part of the success is due to the international certifications conquered by the trademark and that are fundamental for the growth of exports, such as ISO 9001:2008 – that testifies Europa’s manufacturing quality– and it is practically a prerequisite in many countries.
On the other hand, in the European Market, the EC Seal – European Community, present in the Noblesse line, Summer Line and CTA Smart line is a law requirement and quality reference that gains even more strength with the Seal - Apparatus to Improve Water for Human Consumption Certification, since INMETRO is a certification entity recognised in Italy and, consequently, in other European Community countries. In Brazil, Europa is the trademark with the greatest number of certified products with the INMETRO Seal in the sector.

Within the new export policy, Europa currently has an active presence in 16 countries across the Americas, Europe, Africa and Asia. Another nine are undergoing negotiation, in addition the company has signed cooperation agreements with domestic and foreign export incentive entities.
