What Furlan does

Máquinas Furlan is a Brazilian manufacturer of mineral processing equipment and complete turnkey plants, headquartered in Limeira, São Paulo. Founded in 1962 and family-led (CEO Valter Furlan), the company operates from a 210,000 m² industrial park integrating three divisions: Equipment manufacturing (covering comminution, classification, transport, and pyrotechnics across 150+ equipment models), a Foundry producing proprietary alloy wear parts, and Services. Its product architecture spans standalone equipment (jaw crushers, cone crushers including the CC XT line with ~30% higher capacity, VSI impactors, ball/bar/roller/hammer mills, vibrating screens and feeders, conveyors, air classifiers, rotary dryers), 11 complete plant types (aggregates, limestone, lithium, gold, iron, cement, RAP, recycling, grinding, drying/calcination, rock powder), and an aftermarket stream of wear parts, replacement components, rental, refurbishment, and technical consulting.

Furlan's commercial model is direct enterprise field sales to mining and aggregate operators across Brazil, South America, Central America, and North America, supplemented by a parts e-commerce storefront. Revenue is generated primarily through one-time equipment and plant sales with project-specific quotations, complemented by professional services (technical assistance, consulting, refurbishment) and equipment rental. Pricing is custom-quoted per project with BNDES development bank financing available. The company's competitive position rests on its integrated foundry-to-finished-equipment vertical model, enabling custom alloy wear parts matched to specific ore characteristics, and ISO 9001-certified quality management maintained since 2004.

Direct peers

• Metso: Global leader in mining and aggregates processing equipment, including crushers, screens, grinding mills and wear parts. Directly comparable to Furlan across the full mineral processing flowsheet, but with vastly larger scale, global service footprint, and digital portfolio.
• FLSmidth: Supplies full flowsheet equipment and plants for mining and cement, including crushing, grinding, classification and pyro-processing. Direct overlap with Furlan's cement, iron, and complete-plant offerings, though FLSmidth operates at substantially larger global scale.
• Weir Group: Through its ESCO and ENDURON brands, Weir manufactures crushing equipment, mill liners and high-wear consumables for mining. Closely aligned with Furlan's wear-parts and proprietary-alloy strategy, with global aftermarket reach Furlan currently lacks.
• McLanahan: Family-held US manufacturer of aggregate and mineral processing equipment, including crushers, screens, washing and classification systems. Closely analogous mid-sized player to Furlan with integrated equipment, wear parts and service offering.
• Sandvik: Manufactures crushers, screens, drills and wear parts for mining and rock processing. Competes head-to-head with Furlan in cone crushers, VSI impactors and aftermarket wear components, with deeper R&D resources and a global installed base.
• BHS-Sonthofen: German manufacturer specializing in crushing, screening, mixing and recycling technology for mining and aggregates. Comparable niche-sized competitor with proprietary mechanical engineering and European/global reach.

Emerging players

• Tesab Engineering: Manufactures mobile and tracked crushers and screens primarily for aggregates and recycling applications. Comparable product scope to parts of Furlan's portfolio but narrower flowsheet coverage and a focus on mobile rather than stationary plant solutions.

Broad incumbents

• Terex Corporation: Diversified industrial equipment manufacturer with crushing and screening solutions (Terex MPS, Finlay, Powerscreen) serving aggregates and mining. Overlaps with Furlan on cone/VSI crushers and screens, though Terex spans many adjacent end markets including construction and materials handling.
• Astec Industries: Holds brands such as KPI-JCI, Johnson Crushers International and Astec Mobile Screens, producing crushers, screens and asphalt plants. Comparable to Furlan's aggregates and RAP equipment lines, with a broader infrastructure equipment portfolio.
• thyssenkrupp Polysius: Engineering and equipment supplier for cement, mining and minerals processing, including crushing, grinding and pyro-processing plants. Overlaps with Furlan's cement and complete-plant business, with stronger process-engineering depth and global project execution.
