About Us



History


Operating at the same location since 1995, our company has been renewing itself each year, adjusting its operations and its staff according to the market and our clients needs. The first sub-sea christmas-tree built in Brazil to Petrobras has parts and components shipped directly by the company back in the late 90’s, and we continued to supply to companies that make equipment with application in the exploration and production of oil and gas in Brazil, as well as in Europe and Asia.







We take pride in having helped many Brazilian companies to open and operate their American subsidiaries, supporting their local customers, effectively engaging in supply chain processes and performing essential administrative tasks.

We have been successfully helping American companies to identify and select Brazilian companies as potential representatives, distributors or partners.
