WINONA, MINNESOTA, USA -- (September 8, 2010) -- Global custom engineered thermoplastics compounder RTP Company has opened a sales office and warehouse in Brazil. Located in Alphaville, Barueri, Brazil near Sao Paulo, the operation is the latest addition to RTP Company's global presence and provides sales support and a distribution point to the countries of Argentina, Brazil, and Uruguay in South America.
