What Lonax does
Lonax is a Brazilian industrial plastics manufacturer founded in 2002 and headquartered in Sarzedo, Minas Gerais, with a secondary distribution operation in Recife. The company produces plastic tarpaulins (lonas), geomembranes, and silo bags used in agriculture, civil construction, industrial/environmental containment, and aviculture. Its product portfolio is organized into multiple branded sub-lines — Lonax Multiuso, Lonax Cores, Lonax Agro, Lonax Estufa, and Lonax Pegue e Leve — alongside a Geomembranas line and a Silo Bolsa (silo bag) grain-storage line.
The company's technical differentiation centers on geomembrane production, including the ability to manufacture 8-meter-wide single-piece geomembranes that enable large reservoir installations (reference projects include 50,000 sqm / 350 million liter and 40,000 sqm / 450 million liter reservoirs for clients such as Maquisul). Manufacturing is supported by computerized process automation and an in-house GAI-LAP accredited laboratory, with the overall quality system certified to ISO 9001. These capabilities position Lonax in the higher-specification segment of the Brazilian geomembrane market, serving agricultural irrigation, environmental containment, and aquaculture projects.
Lonax operates a direct B2B sales model, with customer engagement conducted primarily via WhatsApp and phone, and distribution through named resellers such as UPside, Rede VemKiTem, AGROPEAD, and JP Distribuidora. The firm employs 250+ people, holds no disclosed external funding, and is privately held. Recent commercial activity includes the launch of the Lonax Play content platform (podcast and video) and the addition of new product lines such as Lonax Estufa, signaling an investment in brand-building and product-line extension alongside its core geomembrane and tarpaulin business.
