Corfio

What Corfio does

Corfio, legally registered as ELETROCAL INDÚSTRIA E COMÉRCIO DE MATERIAIS ELÉTRICOS LTDA., is a privately held Brazilian manufacturer of electrical wires and cables. Founded in 1993 and headquartered in Caçador, Santa Catarina, the company produces a portfolio of over 1,000 products organized into four main lines: copper electrical wires and cables, aluminum electrical wires and cables, enameled wires, and electrical extensions. Manufacturing is conducted under an ISO 9001:2015 quality management system, with products certified by UL (accredited by INMETRO) and compliant with ABNT technical standards. Corfio also publishes 24 technical sizing tables covering current capacity, correction factors, voltage drop, and motor current specifications, which serve as reference material for electrical installation professionals.

The company's go-to-market is built on an exclusive network of authorized commercial representatives covering all 27 Brazilian federative units (and Paraguay); customers must contact a regional representative for quotations and there is no direct online purchase channel. Corfio is homologated as an approved supplier to a roster of major Brazilian utilities, state-owned energy companies, and infrastructure operators, including PETROBRAS, ITAIPU Binacional, COPEL, CEMIG, CELESC, CPFL, EDP, NEOENERGIA, ENERGISA, RIOLUZ, SANEPAR, and the São Paulo state housing agency CDHU. Pricing is not publicly disclosed.

The end customer base spans three primary segments: electrical installation contractors serving residential, commercial, and industrial projects; utilities and energy companies (electric distributors, generators, transmission operators); and large industrial/infrastructure projects including water and sanitation companies, government housing developers, and oil and gas operators. With 11–50 employees concentrated at a single manufacturing site, Corfio operates as a focused, niche-scale manufacturer whose competitive position rests on accumulated certifications, multi-decade distribution relationships, and a wide SKU portfolio, rather than on scale, technology differentiation, or digital channels.
