AMG Brasil

What AMG Brasil does

AMG Brasil S.A. is a Brazilian producer of specialty aluminum alloys, grain refiners, and critical minerals, operating as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Amsterdam-listed AMG Advanced Metallurgical Group N.V. (NYSE: AMG). Founded in 1912 in Niterói as Companhia Industrial Fluminense and relocated to São João del-Rei, Minas Gerais in 1960, the company is organized into two business units. The Special Materials Unit produces aluminum master alloys, mechanical alloys (series 1000/4000/5000/6000), deoxidants for steelmaking, ALTAB compacted pellets, the proprietary TiBAl Evolution grain refiner family, and chemical products (potassium aluminium fluoride, potassium fluoborate, potassium fluotitanate, and flux mixtures) used in aluminum casting and finishing. The Critical Minerals Unit, based in Nazareno, Minas Gerais, mines and processes spodumene concentrate (lithium), tantalum concentrate, tin ingots from cassiterite, and feldspar, supplying battery, electronics, ceramics, and steel end markets. A captive Carandaí River Hydroelectric Plant, acquired in 1960, supplies more than 100% of factory power demand, providing a structural cost advantage. The company holds ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and ISO 45001 certifications for the Special Materials Unit and Responsible Minerals Initiative (RMAP) conformance for tantalum, supporting qualification into aerospace, automotive, energy, electronics, and healthcare supply chains.

AMG Brasil generates revenue through direct B2B sales of industrial materials under a quote-based pricing model, with technical assistance integrated into product delivery at no extra cost. The go-to-market combines direct technical sales for bottom-of-funnel enterprise conversion with corporate website and social channels (LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook) for top-of-funnel presence. Customers are industrial buyers across aerospace, automotive, energy, and electronics/healthcare verticals in Brazil, the US, Asia, and Europe. The company does not publicly disclose revenue, pricing, or named customer accounts. Key product technologies include the proprietary TiBAl Evolution grain refiner (developed with 100% Brazilian methodology and offering lower consumption rates than conventional refiners), aluminum strontium for eutectic modification, aluminum boron for conductivity enhancement, and zirconium aluminum for stress-corrosion mitigation in 7000-series alloys. Leadership is anchored by CEO Fabiano José de Oliveira Costa (appointed April 2014, mining engineer with geostatistics background), CFO Marcelo Pacheco de Mattos, and a senior team averaging more than 20 years of internal tenure across operations, mining, projects, and HR.

Products and services

• Tantalum and Niobium Oxides Specialty metal oxides used in electronics (capacitors, semiconductors), aerospace applications, chemical processing equipment, medical devices, and optical markets. Tantalum offers high performance in minimal space, while niobium provides lightweight ductility with thermal and corrosion resistance when used as an alloy.
• Grain Refiners Aluminum grain refiners containing titanium and boron or titanium and carbon that control solidification structure in aluminum alloys, producing thin, uniform granular microstructures through nucleating agents.
• TiBAl Evolution Advanced grain refiner with superior refining performance and lower consumption rates than conventional refiners, offering better microstructural control and reduced operational costs for automotive, consumer goods, aerospace, and civil construction sectors. Developed with proprietary 100% Brazilian methodology.
• Aluminum Master Alloys Master alloys for incorporating alloying elements (Ca, Co, Cu, Cr, Mn, Mg, Ni, Si, Ti, V, Zr, Fe) into aluminum, featuring easy dissolution at low temperatures to increase productivity and reduce energy consumption.
• Aluminum Strontium (Strontium Aluminum) Structural modifier for Si-Al systems that transforms silicon needles and boards into thin, fibrous structures during eutectic modification, improving porosity, sealing, and ductility properties of cast pieces.
• Aluminum Boron (Boron Aluminum) Special alloy that increases aluminum electrical and thermal conductivity by removing undesirable elements (Ti, V, Zr, Cr) from the liquid bath through chemical combination reactions.
• Zirconium Aluminum Alloy added to 7000 series alloys to reduce susceptibility to stress corrosion by forming intermetallic particles that suppress recovery and recrystallization, also used to increase recrystallization temperature.
• Mechanical Aluminum Alloys and Deoxidant Series 1000, 4000, 5000, and 6000 mechanical alloys for production of screws, rivets, welding rods, and electricity transmission cables, along with aluminum deoxidant for steel production.
• ALTAB Metal pellets in compacted form mixed with flux for adding alloying elements (Fe, Mn, Cu, Cr, Ti) to aluminum, increasing yield and cleaning oxides during the production process.
• Potassium Aluminium Fluoride (PAF / Cryolite) Potassium fluoraluminate used in aluminum industry to reduce magnesium and calcium rates in secondary aluminum, also applied in abrasives, ceramics, and brazing fluxes.
• Salts (Potassium Fluoborate and Potassium Fluotitanate) Potassium fluoborate (KBF4) and potassium fluotitanate (K2TiF6) in thin powder form used as key ingredients in production of grain refiners for aluminum and as binders in abrasive and refractory materials.
• Flux Flux mixtures (KCl, NaCl, and potassium cryolite) that facilitate separation between slag and liquid aluminum, increase metallic yield during scrap melting, and improve metallurgical quality.
• Spodumene Concentrate Lithium-bearing concentrate critical for battery production, particularly driven by global demand for electric vehicles, personal technology, and network storage applications.
• Tantalum Concentrate Raw material concentrate with special physical and chemical properties used in electronics (capacitors, semiconductors), chemical processing, special alloys, ballistics, and healthcare industry applications.
• Tin Ingots High purity malleable tin ingots produced from cassiterite casting, used in cast, forged, and laminate pieces, linings, and anodes due to low mechanical resistance, high ductility, and corrosion resistance.
• Feldspar Mineral input with unique fusibility properties for ceramic tile, glass, and ceramic lining industries, providing greater sintering, mechanical resistance, and temperature reduction during firing cycles.
