At Palladium, we have seven worldwide locations, yet around 50 percent of our business is in Brazil. In Brazil, we manufacture lithium battery packs, WLAN cards and even notebook AC adapters. Having manufacturing capabilities in Manaus – one of Brazil’s most extensively developed and liberal free trade zones (FTZ) – provides a competitive advantage for companies with local operations by helping them comply with local device content laws and regulations and avoiding high tariffs and import costs.
