Start Import Export . com

How did you start the first time in the import export business?

We started an art workshop in Spain in 1976, where I worked in sculpture, drawing and ceramics. The ceramic production, statuettes, figurines provided our main income.

In 1987 we decided to return to Uruguay (I have both nationalities) and started the ceramic production in a larger scale. My knowledge of the European market after 11 years of experience was of great help. In an old wine yard building we started the ceramic collectible figurines production, a 100% export manufacturing business, and in 1989 I started exhibiting at Messe Frankfurt. This made a strong difference, our small company was playing now in the top leagues.

Until 2005 we kept on working successfully. In this year we started a 2nd company, Monfort premoldeados, which produces floor tiles and cement materials for architecture and construction. As it is imaginable the small company is powerful not for its output but for its designs and handcrafted finishes, new ideas and solutions for minimalistic architecture.
