Acquaplant

What Acquaplant does

Acquaplant is a Brazil-based environmental testing laboratory that provides accredited sampling and analysis services for water (surface, groundwater, potable), soil, effluents, and waste. Founded in 1989 and headquartered in Joinville (Santa Catarina), the company operates from three fixed laboratory locations — Joinville (HQ), São Paulo, and Florianópolis — supplemented by a mobile sampling unit that can be deployed to client sites anywhere in Brazil. Its service portfolio centers on regulatory compliance testing for industrial facilities, wastewater treatment plants (ETEs), and environmental consulting firms that outsource lab analysis.

The underlying technology stack is built around a Laboratory Information Management System delivered via the MyLIMS Web portal, through which clients access complete reports and detailed environmental analyses online. Sampling processes are described as automated and standardized to ensure accuracy and compliance with national and international environmental legislation. The company emphasizes certified environmental solutions and 30+ years of accumulated expertise, with named long-standing enterprise clients including Tupy (manufacturing), Ciser (fasteners), WSP (environmental consulting), and Ambsolution (environmental consulting).

Acquaplant operates a sales-led B2B go-to-market: services are quote-based, scoped per client request, and acquired primarily through direct outreach, WhatsApp-based inquiry channels, and a commercial email contact. Revenue is generated on a per-test, per-sample basis tied to the volume and scope of analyses, positioning the company as a professional services laboratory rather than a software or platform business. There is no disclosed funding, ownership structure beyond implied private independence, or quantified revenue.
