Peixoto & Peixoto

What Peixoto & Peixoto does

Peixoto & Peixoto S.A. is a privately held Portuguese industrial equipment distributor and official OEM importer founded on October 10, 1991, and headquartered in Amarante with wholly-owned branches in the Algarve (Olhão, opened 2008) and Lisbon/Samora Correia. The company sells, rents, services, and finances construction, demolition, earthmoving, agricultural, and logistics machinery sourced from tier-1 brands for which it holds exclusive Portuguese importer or authorized distributor rights — notably Yanmar, Ammann, Thwaites, Epiroc, and Kobelco as flagship OEM mandates, plus Manitou, Atlas Copco, Carmix, and Lamborghini Trattori.

The product surface spans three core pillars (new machines, used machines with 200-300+ units stocked, and time-based rental) plus four attached service layers: original and aftermarket parts, certified on-site and facility-based technical assistance, financing intermediation (including YFinance fixed-rate programs and Top Full campaigns), and operational support covering registration, documentation, homologation, and insured transport. End customers operate across five primary verticals — construction, demolition, agriculture and livestock, logistics/materials handling, and secondary forestry and quarrying segments — served through regional commercial technicians, an authorized dealer/concessionário network with a dedicated online portal, an e-commerce storefront with quote-based pricing, and physical presence at trade events including Concreta and company-hosted Open Days.

The business is founder-led and family-controlled, with José Peixoto as Chairman, Hermínio Aires as Commercial Director, and Diogo Rocha as Director of Services and International. The company has been recognized for five consecutive years (2021-2025) on the Top 5% Melhores PME de Portugal list and as PME Líder 2024, undertook a corporate rebranding in 2023, and launched Yanmar's electric construction equipment line in October 2024. Revenue is not publicly disclosed, and the company remains wholly privately held with no external private equity or venture capital investors identified in the available data.
