What Simpar does

Simpar S.A. (B3: SIMH3) is a Brazilian pure holding company headquartered in São Paulo that emerged from the corporate reorganization of the Julio Simões (JSL) Group in July 2020. The holding controls and directs eight independently managed operating companies, each with its own management team and dedicated go-to-market motion: JSL (road logistics, transportation, fleet management and outsourcing, and cold chain logistics — leader in road logistics in Brazil); Movida (light vehicle rental and fleet management, one of the largest in Brazil and listed separately as MOVI3); Vamos (truck, machinery, and equipment rental — the rental leader in Brazil, listed separately as VAMO3 and an IBOVESPA member since 2023); CS Brasil (public sector fleet management and outsourcing under long-term contracts); CS Infra (long-term concessions in mobility, sanitation, ports, toll roads, and BRT systems, with PPP contracts extending to 2054); Automob (automobile and motorcycle retail dealership network across 19 municipalities with insurance brokerage via Madre Seguros); BBC Digital (a multiple bank authorized by Brazil's Central Bank in December 2021, offering digital accounts, prepaid cards, and vehicle financing to professional drivers); and Ciclus Ambiental (solid waste management — divested to Aegea in November 2025).

Simpar generates revenue through a diversified mix of streams tied to its subsidiaries: long-term enterprise and government contracts for logistics, fleet outsourcing, and concessions (JSL, CS Brasil, CS Infra); recurring rental and subscription contracts for light vehicles, trucks, machinery, and equipment (Movida, Vamos); transaction-based automotive retail and after-sales (Automob); and digital banking subscription fees and financial product revenue (BBC Digital). The group employs over 36,000 people across Brazil and serves corporate/industrial clients, government entities, fleet operators, individual consumers, and professional drivers. Capital intensity is high — fleet, equipment, and concession assets require sustained financing access, supported by the group's diversified funding mix including the recent R$3.4 billion capital raise anchored by BNDESPar.

The group is family-controlled (Simões family holds approximately 53.29% through JSP Holding SA and direct holdings), with BNDESPar (Brazil's development bank) holding 10% as a long-term institutional investor with board representation. The group operates exclusively in Brazil with no disclosed international expansion. Corporate governance follows B3's Novo Mercado highest tier, and Movida holds the distinction of being the first publicly traded car rental company globally to receive B Corporation certification.
