What Metta does

Metta is a privately held Brazilian industrial automation and engineering solutions integrator founded in 1998 and headquartered in Resende, Rio de Janeiro (with conflicting location data citing Santa Isabel), employing 51-100 people. The company designs, integrates, and commissions automation and control systems — including PLC, DCS, SCADA, PIMS, HMI, and intelligent electrical panels — alongside custom special machines, industrial robots and cobots, automotive devices, and complete emulsion plants for the explosives sector. Its product portfolio is organized around five target verticals: automotive, steel and mining, pharmaceutical and cosmetics, sanitation, and explosives, with capabilities spanning ANVISA/FDA regulatory compliance, NR10/12 safety retrofits, and full PMO-managed project delivery.

Metta's underlying technology stack combines proprietary integration know-how with strategic partnerships to Rockwell Automation, Siemens, Schneider Electric, and OSIsoft (AVEVA), forming the basis of its Industry 4.0 offering that bundles multi-platform data integration, advanced analytics with AI, collaborative robots, and augmented-reality maintenance support. The firm cites more than 600 completed projects across 25+ countries, 80%+ repeat-customer rate, and 90%+ customer satisfaction, with named enterprise clients including Michelin, Orica (Latin America and Ghana), JLR, Camil Alimentos, Grupo NC, IMBEL, and INB.

The business model is project-based professional services: revenue is generated through custom-engineered automation projects scoped and priced via quote requests (Solicite um Orçamento), with delivery via a consolidated Project Management Office (PMO). Go-to-market is enterprise field sales with direct engagement (phone, email, WhatsApp) rather than reseller or distributor channels. Marketing relies on the corporate website, downloadable PDF content, email newsletter capture, and organic social media presence on LinkedIn, Facebook, and Instagram.
