This paper is about two cases of Brazilian companies, WEG S/A and Lusosider S/A, with presence in Portugal. Through empirical and bibliographical research, we show the main determinants that made such companies to choose Portugal to invest, as well as how they are developing in that country, having a basis the current process of globalization and the increase of the foreign direct investment by the emergent countries. We concluded that WEG S/A as Lusosider S/A is getting success in management of its internationalization in Portugal within European Union context.
