What Criffer does
Criffer (legal entity CFF Desenvolvimento de Produtos Eletrônicos) is a Brazilian manufacturer of occupational health and safety measurement instruments, headquartered in São Leopoldo, Rio Grande do Sul, and operating since 2004. The company designs and produces a portfolio of approximately 73 products spanning air sampling pumps, noise dosimeters, sound level meters, thermal stress globe thermometers, vibration meters, gas detectors, and a plug-and-play multiparameter platform (FLEX) with interchangeable gas and lux sensors. Technical differentiators include proprietary MIRE (Microphone In Real Ear) auricular capture in the Sonus 3 dosimeter, MEMS-based accelerometers for whole-body vibration, and the CrifferSuite software for data collection, report generation, and device management across the product lineup. All instruments are pre-configured for Brazilian regulatory compliance (NR-15, NHO series, ANVISA Resolution 9), positioning the company as a domestic alternative to imported occupational hygiene equipment.
Criffer operates a direct-to-consumer go-to-market model centered on its e-commerce website (criffer.com.br) with WhatsApp integration for sales, technical support, and rentals. Revenue is generated primarily through one-time instrument sales, supplemented by usage-based weekly equipment rentals and professional calibration services. Pricing ranges from R$29 for consumables to R$34,800 for bundled occupational hygiene kits, with factory-direct pricing positioning the products at roughly half the cost of competing imported brands according to customer testimonials. The company also operates a dedicated export channel serving Spanish-speaking LATAM markets with multilingual documentation and an English-language website. Customer base is distributed across small and mid-market Brazilian occupational safety consultancies, industrial and manufacturing firms, and individual safety professionals, with no enterprise anchor concentration visible in the data.
