Painco

What Painco does

Painco Indústria e Comércio S/A is a privately held Brazilian manufacturer of serial carbon steel components and welded assemblies, founded in 1957 and headquartered in Rio das Pedras, São Paulo. The company produces blanks, welded assemblies, and painted components from thick carbon steel plates to precise customer specifications, with steel cutting capacity of 100,000 tons per year and heavy machining capability for parts up to 20 tons. Its industrial park integrates laser, plasma, and oxyfuel cutting, robotic welding cells, a full liquid paint line, 3D dimensional control, a non-destructive testing laboratory with ASNT N2-qualified inspectors, and an electronic production management system enabling real-time traceability from raw material to delivery. The company is certified to ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and ISO 3834 (a pioneer in Brazil for the latter), and operates a Lean Six Sigma-based Painco Production System since 2008.

Painco serves enterprise OEM customers across six industry segments: construction and earthmoving equipment (Caterpillar, CNH, Volvo, Komatsu, Liebherr, Hyundai, JCB, LiuGong), road machinery (Ammann, Atlas Copco, Ciber, Volvo), rail and metro (Alstom, GE Transportation), energy with emphasis on wind power (Gamesa/Siemens Gamesa, Vestas, GE Energy, Acciona, Gevisa), mining (Metso since 1997), and special projects including defense and industrial equipment (Iveco Defense, Putzmeister, Manitou, Meritor). The company is the world's largest Caterpillar certified supplier in the fabricated segment (World Class SQEP, 2009) and a Certified Supplier since 1997. Products reach over 120 countries indirectly through OEM customer exports, and the company maintains a strategic Blanks manufacturing unit inside the Usiminas (formerly Cosipa) steel complex in Cubatão.

The business model is B2B serial manufacturing under quote-based pricing tailored to customer specifications, sold exclusively through direct enterprise sales with a dedicated commercial team ([email protected]). Revenue is generated from hardware sales of custom-fabricated components with no retail, e-commerce, or distributor channels. The company operates 1,001–5,000 employees and is governed by a Shareholders' Council, Board of Directors, and Executive Board with independent auditing. Recognition includes Champion in Social Responsibility (IstoÉ Dinheiro 2016), Destaque Industrial 2nd place (CIESP 2017), and over 10 years of Great Place to Work recognition.
