What Randoncorp does

Randoncorp is a Brazilian multinational mobility and industrial group, publicly listed on B3 (ticker RANDONCORP) under Level 1 Corporate Governance, headquartered in Caxias do Sul, Rio Grande do Sul, and tracing its origins to 1947 as Mecânica Randon. The group operates through five business verticals: Randon Implementos (trailers, semi-trailers, railway wagons — the largest semi-trailer manufacturer in Latin America with roughly 70% of the Brazilian market and exports to 70+ countries); Autopeças, encompassing Suspensys (axles/suspensions including the e-Sys regenerative electric axle), Master Freios (braking systems, including the 2024-acquired UK-based EBS), JOST Brasil (fifth-wheel couplings), and Castertech (high-tech foundry); Soluções Financeiras, through Rands, offering 40+ financial products including consortiums, insurance, fleet rental and management; Controle de Movimentos via Frasle Mobility (friction materials and brake components via the Fras-le, Nakata, Fremax, Controil, Juratek, Jurid, and recently acquired KUO Refacciones/Mexican Dacomsa brands); and Tecnologia Avançada comprising NIONE (niobium nanoparticle production), Centro Tecnológico Randon (CTR — one of Latin America's largest independent mobility R&D centers), Auttom (industrial automation and robotic cells), Delta Global (fleet telematics across 600,000+ vehicles), DB (digital services), and Randon Ventures (corporate venture capital). AXN Automotive Systems, acquired in January 2025 with a $15 million Louisville, Kentucky expansion to a 100,000-axle annual capacity, anchors its North American axle position.\n\nRandoncorp generates revenue predominantly through B2B hardware sales to commercial vehicle OEMs and the aftermarket (Direct OEM relationships with Mercedes-Benz under a ten-year supply contract, Volkswagen Caminhões e Ônibus for hybrid truck co-development, DAF Trucks as a recognized Best Global Supplier, plus a Brazilian distributor network of 90+ and 190+ international distribution points), recurring subscription and financial-services revenue through Rands, and professional services through technology units. The go-to-market is enterprise field sales supplemented by direct OEM relationships and, in North America, a direct-to-OEM channel via AXN serving heavy-duty trailer, truck, and off-road equipment OEMs. Pricing is quote-based and contract-driven, with multi-year engagements typical for OEM supply.\n\nFY2025 consolidated net revenue was R$13.1 billion (with Q1 2026 at R$3.1 billion, Q2 2025 at R$3.3 billion, Q3 2025 at R$3.4 billion). The group employs approximately 40,000 collaborators across 34+ industrial units in 13+ countries across South America, North America, Europe, and Asia. Recent strategic activity centers on international M&A (EBS in 2024, KUO Refacciones in 2024, AXN Heavy Duty in 2025), electrification (e-Sys axle, hybrid damping couplings targeting 45-55% of Brazilian new EV specs by 2030), and ESG positioning (First Movers Coalition membership, brAAA credit rating, TISAX certification at US and China Frasle Mobility sites), funded in part by a 2025 Patria-led round of approximately $53 million.
