NG Metalurgica

What NG Metalurgica does

NG Metalúrgica S.A. is a privately held, family-owned Brazilian heavy industrial equipment manufacturer founded in 1996 by Narciso Gobbin and headquartered in Piracicaba, São Paulo, with 501–1,000 employees. The company designs, fabricates, and commissions custom capital goods — steam turbines, pressure vessels, heat exchangers, process columns, storage tanks, rotating drums, and complete turn-key distillation plants — manufactured to international codes (ASME, TEMA, API, NBR-7321, NR-13) with optional ABS and DNV third-party certification, and operates a large integrated Capim Fino manufacturing complex.

Its core proprietary technologies include the InTech® Smart Molecular Sieve for ethanol dehydration (30+ plants delivered), the SIPET ion-exchange ethanol purification skid, and the licensed TASTE second-generation stillage concentration system from US-based Benchmark LLD. The company also provides in-house electrical & automation systems (PLC/DCS, SCADA, control panels) independent of equipment brand, plus a 24-hour technical service operation covering turbine reconditioning, rotor balancing, vibration analysis, reverse engineering, and field assistance across Brazil and Latin America.

Revenue is generated primarily through one-time custom equipment contracts and turn-key project delivery — engineering, fabrication, field assembly, and commissioning — to enterprise clients in sugar/ethanol (Alto Alegre Group, INPASA Paraguay), oil & gas including pre-salt FPSOs (Veolia Water Systems, SBM Offshore), and adjacent verticals such as petrochemical, paper & pulp, food, and fertilizer. Distribution is exclusively direct enterprise sales, supplemented by recurring aftermarket service revenue tied to the installed base.
