Cosampa

What Cosampa does

Cosampa (Grupo Cosampa) is a privately held Brazilian engineering and construction group founded in 1999 and headquartered in Maracanaú, Ceará, with operations spanning four macro-regions of Brazil (Northeast, North, Southeast, Central-West) and active project footprints in at least six states. The company operates four integrated service divisions: civil infrastructure works (highways, bridges, sanitation, water mains, dams, airports), electrical services (aerial and underground distribution network construction and maintenance, substation work, live-line operations in medium and high voltage), municipal public lighting management (over 300,000 simultaneous lighting points under management, LED conversion, energy efficiency), and renewable energy construction (utility-scale wind and solar parks).

The company's underlying technology stack combines conventional civil and electrical engineering execution with proprietary operational platforms including SafeTrack (safety tracking and monitoring), CTMO (Centro Técnico de Monitoramento Operacional, a video-based operational monitoring center for preventive action), a robotized network washing system for substations, and a georeferenced asset management system for lighting infrastructure. The firm holds ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and ISO 45001 certifications and operates two wholly-owned subsidiaries: Cosampa Energia (energy services and renewables) and Cosampa Construções (civil infrastructure).

Cosampa's business model is project-based B2B and B2G contracting with quote-based, negotiated pricing and no publicly disclosed pricing or recurring SaaS-style revenue. Go-to-market relies on direct enterprise sales to energy developers (EDP, Enel Green Power, Elera Renováveis, Casa dos Ventos) and competitive bidding for federal, state, and municipal government contracts. Revenue streams include professional services across electrical distribution, civil infrastructure, and renewable energy EPC, plus managed services for municipal public lighting. Customer segments are primarily government entities and electric utilities/energy developers, with no identified reseller or distributor channels.

Core offering

Grupo Cosampa is a Brazilian engineering and construction group that designs, builds, and maintains civil infrastructure (buildings, highways, bridges, sanitation systems, water mains, dams, airports), electrical distribution networks (aerial and underground, substations, live-line medium/high voltage work), and utility-scale renewable energy parks (wind and solar PV). It also operates municipal public lighting services, managing over 300,000 lighting points for city governments, including LED conversion, energy efficiency, and 24/7 maintenance.

Product overview

Grupo Cosampa is an engineering and construction company operating across four main service divisions: Infrastructure Works, Electrical Services, Municipal Lighting, and Renewable Energy. The company operates a portfolio of construction and operational services rather than a unified software platform. Infrastructure Works encompasses building construction, highways, bridges, sanitation, and airports. Electrical Services covers distribution network construction and maintenance. Municipal Lighting manages over 300,000 lighting points with LED conversion and energy efficiency services. Renewable Energy focuses on wind and solar park construction with major projects including UFV Seriemas (541 MWp), UFV Irapuru (411 MWp), UFV Arinos (250 MWp), and the Aventura Wind Complex (104 MWp). Supporting programs include Safetrack for safety monitoring, ECOSAMPA for environmental initiatives, an Ombudsman channel for customer feedback, and an internal recruitment platform.
