2B Automation and Machining

What 2B Automation and Machining does

2B Automação e Usinagem is a privately held Brazilian industrial engineering firm that designs, fabricates, and supplies precision tooling, automation devices, and machined components for electronics manufacturing and adjacent industrial sectors. Its core offering consists of SMT/PTH line tooling — pallets (Wave, Reflow, Universal), work holders (Base Printer, Torre H), routers, and Pick & Place bases — typically machined from naval aluminum AL 6061 or ESD fiber and dimensioned to fit customer-specific equipment (DEK, MPM, FUJI, PANASONIC, EKRA, SAMSUNG, AUROTEK, SAYAKA, and others), with engineered features such as 350°C lead-free thermal resistance and 10,000-cycle pallet lifespan. Beyond tooling, the company builds custom automation equipment — screwing devices, pneumatic presses (NR-12 compliant up to 6 tons of force), welding devices, end-of-line test fixtures, conveyors, and machine-vision inspection systems — and operates a 1,000m² facility with conventional and CNC machining centers, lathes, and grinders serving serial-part and prototype orders in aluminum, brass, carbon steel, stainless steel, titanium, copper, and engineering plastics.

The company monetizes through project-based, quote-only contracts sold direct to industrial buyers, with no publicly disclosed pricing, no software licensing, and no recurring revenue components. Revenue is generated across three streams: SMT/PTH tooling, automation equipment, and machining services, with vertical segmentation across electronics manufacturing, automotive, medical, food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetics industries. Distribution is entirely direct (website quote requests, phone, WhatsApp, email) and limited to Brazilian national territory. The business is founder-owned and operated with no external investors, no disclosed funding history, no M&A activity, and no patents. Reporting identifies Ricardo Chuma as Administrator with 12+ years of accumulated know-how in electro-electronic device development.

Direct peers

• Pemtron: Korean supplier of 3D vision inspection and SMT line equipment. Direct peer for 2B's "Sistema de Visão para Inspeção" line, both serving SMT/PCBA inspection needs for EMS customers.
• PROMESS Inc. Manufacturer of precision assembly presses, test systems, and assembly automation — closely mirroring 2B's "Prensas Pneumáticas," "Jigas de Teste," and screwing-device portfolio for automotive/electronics assembly customers.
• SMT Wertheim: Specialized European manufacturer of SMT tooling, solder frames, and custom PCBA fixtures. Highly comparable to 2B's "Pallet Wave," "Pallet Reflow," and "Base Printer" offerings; competing for similar EMS/OEM customers in a niche tooling category.

Broad incumbents

• ERSA (KURTZ ERSA): German manufacturer of soldering equipment, rework systems, and selective soldering automation with adjacent fixture and tooling offerings for electronics manufacturing. Competitor on the soldering-device side of 2B's portfolio.
• ASM Assembly Systems: Global leader in SMT placement, printing, and related automation equipment for PCBA. Adjacent incumbent whose equipment bases create demand for compatible third-party tooling like 2B's "Base Printer" and "Base Pick and Place."
• ASYS Group: Global supplier of SMT, soldering, and automation equipment. 2B lists ASYS as a compatible routing equipment brand, indicating overlap on fixture/tooling integration; ASYS is a much larger incumbent offering full lines rather than niche custom tooling.
• FUJI SMT: Global supplier of SMT pick-and-place machines and assembly automation. Direct equipment peer for the "Base Pick and Place" platform; not a custom tooling peer but highly comparable as an integrated SMT solutions provider.
• Panasonic Factory Solutions: Major OEM of SMT screen printing, pick-and-place, and assembly automation equipment, named as a compatible platform for 2B's "Base Printer" product. A larger incumbent whose equipment ecosystem creates pull for 2B's custom fixtures.

Regional players

• ROMI: Brazilian manufacturer of machine tools, machining centers, and CNC equipment. Regional competitor on the conventional/CNC machining services side of 2B's business, also serving automotive and general industrial customers in Brazil.
• Casa do CNC / Job Shop Brasil providers: Brazilian network of contract precision machining and CNC job shops providing serial parts and prototypes. Direct peers to 2B's "Usinagem Convencional e CNC" and "Peças Seriadas e Protótipos" service lines, competing locally for industrial machining customers.
