Esdeva

What Esdeva does

Esdeva Indústria Gráfica is a Brazilian commercial printing and finishing company headquartered in Juiz de Fora, Minas Gerais, with an additional manufacturing site in Santana de Parnaíba, São Paulo. Operating under the legal name Esdeva Indústria Gráfica (CNPJ 17.153.081/0001-62), the company describes itself as the largest graphic industrial operation in Minas Gerais and one of the largest in Brazil, supported by 25,000 m² of built area and 600+ employees across both states.

The company operates an offset-printing core (rotary and flat presses) with integrated pre-press and a full in-house finishing department covering BOPP lamination, UV varnish, multiple binding formats (square spine, canoe spine, wire-o, spiral), custom cuts and creases, scented-sticker application, shrink packaging, and kit assembly. Its product portfolio spans books, textbooks, magazines, catalogs, albums, calendars, agendas, newspapers, promotional brochures, folders, flyers, posters, pamphlets, food packaging, and variable-data printing tied to digital channels (Email, SMS, RCS, WhatsApp).

Commercially, Esdeva runs a B2B, quote-based sales model with no self-serve or e-commerce channels — every engagement is a project-priced transaction. Its customer base is a horizontal mix of enterprise and mid-market buyers across publishing, retail/cosmetics, and food service, with named references including Burger King, O Boticário, and Editora Abril (Exame). The company holds ISO 9001 (since 2015), ISO 14001 (since 2010), FSC (since 2008), and Disney FAMA certifications, and is currently operating under judicial recovery (recuperação judicial), the Brazilian equivalent of Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection.
