What ARXO Industrial does

ARXO Industrial do Brasil S.A. is a Brazilian manufacturer of fuel storage tanks and industrial pressure equipment, founded in 1967 in Itajaí, Santa Catarina and now headquartered in Balneário Piçarras. The company designs and produces double-walled (jacketed) underground fuel storage tanks using carbon steel inner walls and fiberglass-reinforced plastic (PRFV) outer jackets with intersticial electronic leak monitoring, alongside above-ground carbon steel tanks, the proprietary FLEX TANK rotomolded double-wall tank, diesel filtration systems, complete fueling skids and modules (including EX-certified units for hazardous environments), aviation fueling systems compliant with API standards, and ASME/NR-13 pressure vessels and condensate separators. ARXO claims 70% market share of underground tanks installed in Brazilian fuel resale stations and positions itself as the Latin American market leader for double-wall jacketed tanks.

The company sells primarily through direct enterprise sales supported by a network of regional representatives covering all regions of Brazil, with a commercial office in Asunción, Paraguay serving expanding Latin American markets. Customers include major Brazilian and multinational enterprises across energy distribution (Petrobras, Raízen, Ipiranga, ALESAT, Petrobras Liquigás, Air BP), mining (Vale, GMining Ventures, Orica), agribusiness (Bunge, Cargill, ADM, Cocamar), steel (Gerdau, ArcelorMittal), beverages (Ambev), industrial gases (Siemens, Atlas Copco, Kaeser, Gardner Denver), and government (Brazilian Navy Antarctic Station). Manufacturing is conducted at two Brazilian facilities in Santa Catarina and Pernambuco; pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, with revenue derived from one-time equipment sales across standard product lines and customized special projects. The company holds ISO 9001:2015, UL International Product Certification, and CTBC conformity certification, with compliance to NBR, ASME VIII Division 1, NR-13, and INMETRO standards serving as a core regulatory moat.
