What Mausa does
Mausa SA Equipamentos Industriais is a privately held, family-owned Brazilian industrial equipment manufacturer founded in 1948 in Piracicaba, São Paulo, with approximately 400 employees. The company operates a vertically integrated 30,000m² manufacturing facility on a 170,000m² owned site, including a 500m² laboratory and testing center, and controls all processes from engineering design through client installation.
Mausa produces three primary product lines: (1) separation and drying equipment — centrifuges, filters, and dryers used in sugar/ethanol, pharmaceutical, chemical, and food processing; (2) machine tools — boring machines (mandrilhadoras) and vertical lathes (tornos verticais), including the Smart 50 C Wind model designed for wind turbine rotor machining; and (3) heavy lifting equipment — overhead and gantry cranes, with over 800 units delivered historically for steelmaking, mining, power generation, shipyards, and paper/pulp. The company also develops special projects such as patented HPGR (High Pressure Grinding Rolls) solutions for mining, FRVS rotary filters for second-generation (2G) ethanol, DDGS corn dryers, and oil & gas turning equipment.
The business model is enterprise field sales with project-based, quote-based pricing for custom equipment, supplemented by regional representatives across the USA, Venezuela, Dominican Republic, Peru, Colombia, Argentina, Uruguay, and Brazil. Revenue derives from one-time equipment sales and professional services including equipment refurbishment, boiler-making (caldeiraria), machining, and technical assistance. The company has no parent, no disclosed institutional investors, and no public funding rounds.
