IMPORTING CORK FOR INSULATION INTO MONTANA MANUFACTURING: PORTUGAL INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS PROJECT

Abstract

This work aims to contribute to internationalization of "Amorim Cork Composites" and improve the quality of life in Montana through better thermal and sound insulation. The project involves collaboration between the Polytechnic Institute of Gaia and the University of Montana, focusing on research and practical implementation. It consists of three parts: the project's scope, including literature review and methodology; an analysis of the state of the art of cork, its evolution, and market research in Montana; and the development and implementation process, highlighting motivations and compliance with requirements. The goal is to educate Montana's residents about cork's benefits and establish Amorim Cork Composites in the state, promoting sustainable and durable products for residential and industrial use.
