Eurolatina turned 25 years old in 2019. The company was initially a sheer consulting firm, founded by Karlheinz K. Naumann, the former managing partner of a subsidiary of an international management consultancy in São Paulo, headquartered in Germany.

 

He has worked in Brazil as a consultant, technical director of an automotive supplier, vice president of the AHK (Chamber of Foreign Trade) São Paulo junior chamber, board member of the local VDI, president of the local REFA association and advisory board of the AHK São Paulo. In  addition he has gained a mount of experience in the Brazilian Institute of Technology, complemented by his position as managing director for automotive parts manufacturing companies in South Africa and Mexico, and previously as executive assistant and head of technology development with responsibility for value analysis, manufacturing development and innovation of a group in Germany for which he moved to Brazil at the end of 1978.

 

By recommendation of the AHK São Paulo he also took over the office of the head of the newly founded NRW - company pool Brazil - Mercosur the IHK GmbH and later the IHK Essen in 1997. As a result, EUROLATINA became engaged in brokerage of business partners in Brazil and the Mercosul member states for German companies, later also establishing branches in Brazil and supporting them and expanding their activities throughout South America and in special cases also to Central America and Mexico. EUROLATINA has helped more than 300 German company pool member companies to make the right decision while entering the Brazilian market by the end of 2014, when the IHK Essen, the last chamber of industry and commerce in North Rhine-Westphalia ceased pooling activities.
