What Nexxo does

Nexxo S.A. is a Chilean industrial services company founded in 1980 and headquartered in Concón, Valparaíso Region, as a subsidiary of the Echeverría Izquierdo Group, one of Chile's largest engineering and construction holdings. The company delivers integral plant maintenance and specialized applied engineering services to enterprise clients in the mining, petrochemical, cellulose, food, energy, and maritime sectors, both domestically and across seven Latin American countries (Peru, Bolivia, Argentina, Brazil, Mexico, Colombia, Surinam). Service delivery is anchored in long-term multi-year maintenance contracts covering mechanical, electrical, instrumental, hydraulic, structural, and operational maintenance, supplemented by project-based specialized services such as high-pressure water cleaning, chemical cleaning, dredging, catalyst handling, plant decontamination, and pipeline inspection.

Nexxo's technology stack is process-engineering based rather than software-based, centered on proprietary and specialized equipment: high-pressure water jet systems (Hidrojet) operating at 10,000-40,000 psi, the Bactronization electrostatic disinfection process using EPA-registered hospital-grade disinfectants, telecommanded dredging systems for hazardous and acidic environments, and smart pig pipeline inspection and cleaning tools. The company complements these capabilities with industrial construction and assembly services (civil works, structural, mechanical, piping, and electrical/instrumental assembly) for new plant construction, expansions, and shutdown modifications. Quality, environmental, and occupational safety credentials are central to the value proposition, evidenced by ISO 9001, 14001, and 45001 certifications and 6-star CChC Honor Roll safety recognition.

The business model rests on direct enterprise field sales with no intermediary or reseller channels. Revenue is generated through managed services (long-term maintenance contracts) and professional services (project-based specialized engineering and construction/assembly work). Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is structured per contract or project scope. Customer concentration is oriented toward large mining operators and petrochemical/chemical plant owners, with named relationships including Codelco División Andina, Sierra Gorda, Antofagasta Minerals, ENAMI, and Grupo CEMIN. Demand generation combines direct sales, industry event participation (MAPLA-MANTEMIN, MINExpo, ASIVA), and limited digital presence via corporate website and LinkedIn.
