What Coimma does

Coimma is a Brazilian, family-founded industrial manufacturer specializing in livestock handling equipment and weighing solutions for the cattle and agribusiness sectors. Headquartered in Dracena, Sao Paulo, the company designs, fabricates, and services hydraulic and mechanical cattle restraint chutes (the Megatron, Robust Plus, Convencional Plus, Americano, and Sertanejo lines), electronic and mechanical cattle scales, the IMOGADO electronic bovine immobilizer, and the proprietary KM3-N and KM3 Plus weighing indicators with Bluetooth, RS232, and USB connectivity. Its second product line comprises industrial truck scales (concrete, metallic, and hybrid MCM platforms rated from 40,000 to 200,000 kg) and flow/expedition grain scales operating at 50-400 tons per hour. Technology differentiators include the Easy Lock mechanical locking system that replaces hydraulic pistons, the BALPASS automatic weighing platform developed in partnership with Embrapa Gado de Corte, and the COIMMA PEC mobile application for digital herd management.

Coimma operates a direct-sales go-to-market with a fleet of 20+ trucks delivering factory-to-farm and a team of in-house technicians handling installation across Brazil, supplemented by regional branches in Cuiaba and Maraba and an exclusive distributor in Argentina (El Condor Infraestrutura Rural, since 2022). Revenue is generated primarily through hardware sales of capital equipment, with a secondary stream of preventive, corrective, and predictive maintenance services and calibration contracts. Pricing is quote-based on equipment configuration and is not publicly disclosed. The company sells via an enterprise field-sales motion supported by an SMB-accessible virtual store and a representative portal for channel partners.

Founded in 1951 by Jose Dansieri and Maria Encarnacao Zurita Dansieri, Coimma has been continuously operating for 75 years and is self-described as the largest manufacturer of cattle chutes and scales in Latin America. The company holds consecutive Top of Mind Rural awards from Revista Rural spanning 1998 through 2025, was named one of Forbes Brazil's 10 most innovative companies in 2018, and is INMETRO-certified. Ownership remains with the founding family, with no disclosed private equity, venture capital, or institutional investor involvement, and the corporate structure includes two wholly-owned subsidiaries: Coimma Agropecuaria and Coimma Empreendimentos Imobiliarios.
