According to Onip’s superintendent, Bruno Musso, the aim is to involve a greater number of small companies as offerors of products and services, “in order to expand the opportunities within the traditional concept of strengthening of the supply chain”.

Today, we can say that the Rounds have become an integral part of the event as a whole, along with the Exhibiton and the Congress”, he says. Onip’s superintendent believes the European economic crisis will not compromise the Round’s results. He defends that the Brazilian oil sector is still heated, with growing domestic demand for by-products. “He have noticed an increased interest of the international community for the Brazilian market, and we will promote meetings between foreing and local companies, in order to establish joint ventures to
