What HMPC does
HMPC Produtos e Soluções em Automação is a privately held Brazilian industrial automation distributor founded in 1994 and headquartered in Guarulhos, São Paulo. The company specializes in reselling and supporting a curated portfolio of premium international automation brands — MAC Valves and PHD (US pneumatic valves and actuators), KNOCKS (German compressed air preparation), Tsunami (compressed air filtration), SSPM (Taiwanese precision robotics transmission), and KINETROL (pneumatic rotary actuators) — serving Brazilian industrial manufacturers requiring high-complexity automation solutions. HMPC positions itself as a select, technically qualified distributor rather than a broad-line catalog reseller, emphasizing the synergy between its engineering staff and the high-technology products it represents.
The company's offerings are organized into two primary categories: Pneumática (pneumatic components such as directional control valves, actuators, grippers, FRL units, filters, and dryers) and Robótica (precision reducers, indexers, rotary tables, and oscillating manipulators for robotics integration). Products are specified through a quote-based sales process rather than public pricing, with sales engineered by technical staff for project specification. The go-to-market is direct B2B sales targeting enterprise industrial customers across Brazil, supported by a corporate website, telephone-based lead capture, and applications engineering for project integration.
The business model is a pure distribution/resale model with hardware sales as the primary revenue stream. Pricing is custom and quote-driven, consistent with a project-based sales motion in industrial automation. The company has 11-50 employees, operates from a single location in Guarulhos, and does not disclose revenue, ownership structure, or financial metrics. There is no evidence of digital products, software, AI capabilities, or subscription revenue; the value proposition is grounded in brand portfolio exclusivity, technical expertise built over 30+ years, and the ability to deliver integrated automation solutions combining complementary premium-brand components.
