Autêntica Engenharia

What Autêntica Engenharia does

Autêntica Engenharia is a Brazilian industrial automation integrator founded in 2008 and headquartered in Betim, Minas Gerais, with additional offices in São Bernardo do Campo and a newly announced branch in the Zona Franca de Manaus (2024). The company designs and deploys turn-key robotic cells and custom special machines for automotive OEMs and Tier 1/2 suppliers, mining and mineral processing operators, metal-mechanical fabricators, steel/siderurgical producers, and industrial laboratories. Core technology stacks center on integrating KUKA (KR 10 R1100-2, 7-axis robots on KL 4000 linear units) and FANUC (including iRVision, collaborative robots) alongside complementary components from Omron, SICK, Siemens, SCHUNK, and Kolver, with all systems designed to comply with Brazilian regulatory standards NR10, NR12, and NR17.

The product portfolio spans robotic spot welding and MIG lines (including KUKA/FANUC robotized lines and dash panel welding cells with digital weld controls and full traceability), collaborative robot cells for machining center feeding (KUKA + SCHUNK gripper + SICK safety), robotic refractory application cells for steel applications, automated flotation devices for mining/metallurgical testing, and custom fastening/inspection machines (e.g., automotive trim assembly with Kolver torque-controlled screwdriving and Datamatrix traceability). Each solution is delivered under a turn-key contract covering planning, mechanical/electrical design, programming, installation, commissioning, and operator training.

Revenue mechanics are project-based and quote-driven, with no public pricing tiers disclosed. The go-to-market is enterprise field sales with technical specialist engagement across Brazil and broader South America. The company employs 240+ collaborators worldwide, reports 1,147 robots installed across 7 country locations, and is privately held with no external private equity or venture capital funding disclosed. Recent strategic emphasis has been on geographic expansion (Manaus, 2024), new product line development (automated flotation machine for mining, 2025), and deepening technology partnerships with global automation suppliers.
