Maxepoxi

What Maxepoxi does

Maxepoxi Industrial e Comercial Ltda is a privately held Brazilian industrial chemical distributor founded in 1991 and headquartered in São Paulo. The company operates as a technology distribution center for epoxy resins, polyester resins, vinyl esters, polyurethanes, acrylics, phenolics, and alkyds, alongside a deep catalog of auxiliary consumables including hardeners, cure accelerators, MEK peroxide catalysts, gel coats, release agents, diluents, mineral fillers, liquid dyes, and polyurethane foam. It also distributes reinforcement materials — glass fiber fabric, glass fiber mat, chopped glass fiber, and carbon fiber fabric — as well as modeling and tooling inputs such as silicone rubber, PU rubber, and machinable polyurethane plates. Notable branded offerings include the Araldite adhesive line and engineered systems for power transformer encapsulation, self-leveling industrial flooring, and naval structural composites.

The company's core technical offering is built around selecting and supplying the right resin system for each application rather than manufacturing proprietary chemistry, combined with hands-on technical support during project implementation and training courses for customers. Its portfolio addresses more than 10 industrial verticals, with primary segments in electrical insulation, electronic encapsulation, civil construction flooring and coatings, and nautical hull construction, and secondary segments in aerospace composites, wind energy blade manufacturing, automotive and racing components, sporting goods, oil and gas corrosion protection, and corrosive-environment linings.

Maxepoxi makes money through one-time product sales of resin systems and related consumables to industrial buyers across Brazil, using a direct, quote-based sales motion executed via website, email, WhatsApp Business, and phone. The company owns its logistics fleet and operates a distribution center in the south zone of São Paulo, enabling direct nationwide delivery across all five Brazilian macro-regions (Southeast, South, Northeast, Central-West, North). It employs 51-100 people and operates as a Brazilian limitada (Ltda) with no disclosed parent company, institutional investors, or external funding.
