COMPARTE (Comercializadora de Productos
Artesanales Exportables) is a private,
non-profit organization that exports nearly US$1 million each
year in Chilean handicrafts to
hundreds of wholesale and retail organizations around the world.
Our mission is to improve the
standard of living for owners and employees of Chilean handicraft
workshops, by promoting
and exporting various handmade products of the highest quality,
while supporting these same
artisans through technical and product development assistance
programs. A self-financed
organization, COMPARTE currently exports more than 6,000 products
from more than 400
workshops to nearly 30 countries. We are a fair trade provider,
and active member of the
International Federation for Alternative Trade. In addition,
we work with several Chilean and
international partners to ensure our efforts are coordinated
with other support organizations
and that we learn from others in the industry. Current partners
include ProChile, the Chilean
Trade Commission, and SERCOTEC a national technical services
organization that supports
small and medium enterprises primarily through business management
training.
Comparte's strength is in the variety of
products and outstanding service we provide to our
clients. We offer the widest selection of Chilean handicrafts
and gift ideas available, giving our
buyers a one-stop shopping opportunity. We assure the highest
quality and the most reliable
delivery commitments possible, according to the production process
for each item. Moreover,
we can custom-make designs to satisfy the specific needs of our
clients and their markets
through our Design Center.
