KOINONIA

What KOINONIA does

KOINONIA (operating brand: Koi Espumas) is a private Brazilian industrial foam converter that produces technical foam tapes and custom foam parts for B2B customers. Headquartered in Valinhos, São Paulo, on a 26,000m² site with 7,000m² of built infrastructure positioned near four major Brazilian highways, the company operates a second manufacturing facility in Dublin, Virginia, USA, claiming a global customer footprint. Its product portfolio covers foam tapes (Fitas de Espumas), acoustic insulation plates (Isolamento Acústico), automotive parts (Peças Automotivas), and custom technical foam pieces (Peças de Espumas), manufactured from a range of chemistries including polyurethane, polyethylene, EVA, PVC, neoprene, EPDM, felt, agglomerate, and elastomeric foam.

The company's core technology centers on foam converting processes — cutting, stamping, and lamination — supported by an in-house testing laboratory for quality control and customer collaboration. KOINONIA holds IATF 16949:2016 automotive certification, ISO 9001:2015 quality management certification, and ISO 14001:2015 environmental certification, all issued by DQS, alongside EcoVadis and DUNS registrations. It also offers an Adesivação (adhesive lamination) service line for foam rolls and elastomeric blankets used in HVAC duct sealing, positioning it as a value-added converter rather than a commodity foam supplier.

Revenue is generated through a quote-based custom pricing model. Customers specify material, dimensions, and quantity through an online form or direct sales channels (phone, WhatsApp, email) and receive project-specific proposals. End markets are segmented into automotive (tier-1 suppliers and OEMs), construction civil (aluminum frames, structural glazing, drywall), agricultural equipment, white goods (Linha Branca), body builders (Encarroçadoras), refrigeration/HVAC, naval, aerospace, and heavy machinery. Distribution is direct-to-enterprise in both Brazil and the USA, with no intermediary or marketplace channels referenced.
