What Component does

Component is a privately held Brazilian plastics manufacturer founded in 1960 by Rodolfo Korall and headquartered in Diadema, São Paulo. The company produces injected technical plastic parts, technical painting, subassembly assembly, and proprietary injection molds and devices for the automotive, household appliance, electronics and IT, and consumer goods industries. Operations span three production sites — Diadema (12,000 m² main plant with injection presses from 30T to 1,300T and part capacity up to 6 kg), Itupeva (dedicated to technical painting of bumpers and automotive interior parts), and Joinville, Santa Catarina (an embedded production unit operating inside Whirlpool's facility under a long-running production contract).

The company's underlying technology emphasizes high robotization of injection and post-injection processes, nitrogen-assisted injection for defect reduction, hot-runner controllers and mold thermoregulators for precision, and advanced painting lines with controlled curing environments; automated assembly devices deliver structured subassembly production. These capabilities are supported by IATF 16949 (automotive quality), ISO 14001 (environmental management), and proprietary know-how in electroplated-cavity molds developed during the 1980s electronics specialization. Component also performs in-house mold and device development, enabling single-source delivery from tool design through painted, assembled parts.

The business model is B2B, sales-led, and quote-based: a commercial team responds to quote requests, partnerships, and commercial inquiries submitted through the company website (component.com.br) and direct phone/email channels. Revenue is generated across four integrated streams — thermoplastic injection, technical painting, subassembly assembly, and mold/device development — with no public pricing and no disclosed revenue. The company's only named anchor customer is Whirlpool, for whom it has operated a dedicated in-house production unit since November 2006. Geographic reach is Brazil-only, and there are no documented funding rounds, M&A activity, or parent/subsidiary structures, indicating a family- or founder-controlled private operating company.
