Geoambiente

What Geoambiente does

GEOAMBIENTE S/A is a Brazilian environmental diagnosis and remediation company headquartered in Fazenda Rio Grande, Paraná, founded in 2002 by brothers Everton and Cícero Carvalho. The firm provides environmental investigation, contaminant diagnosis, soil and groundwater remediation, and environmental consulting services to clients across industrial, fuel-station, retail, real estate, logistics, and government segments, with operational bases in 15 Brazilian states and a branch in São José dos Campos, São Paulo. Its core commercial offerings include proprietary remediation products (CarbonGEO, PeroxyGEO, PersulGEO, SolveGEO, StableGEO, and SurfGEO-E) registered with Brazil's environmental regulator IBAMA, alongside direct-push subsurface investigation using GEOPROBE equipment.

The company's technical platform is anchored by LABGEO, an in-house INMETRO ISO/IEC 17025-accredited laboratory, complemented by a mobile laboratory (LabMóvel) for on-site chromatographic and analytical work. This verticalized model — combining in-house chemistry, accredited analytics, mobile lab capability, and direct-push equipment — enables end-to-end project execution without dependence on third-party providers. The firm has completed over 3,000 projects in the fuel-station segment alone across more than 20 years of operating history.

Geoambiente operates as a private, founder-controlled company. Its business model is project-based, with revenue generated through environmental site assessments, remediation programs, and consulting engagements, supplemented by sales of its proprietary chemical products. The 2024 grant of an INPI patent for an agricultural soil remediation product signals an early move into the agribusiness vertical, expanding the addressable market beyond the historical industrial and fuel-station focus.
