Pedrita Planejamento e Construção

What Pedrita Planejamento e Construção does

Pedrita Planejamento e Construção Ltda. is a Santa Catarina-based mining and construction materials company founded in 1973 by Artur Nunes, a military firefighter who acquired land in Rio Tavares, Florianópolis containing deposits of diabasio (diabase) and granite. The company has grown from a single-crusher operation into a two-unit business with 180 direct employees, the second unit located in Tijuquinhas, Biguaçu. It transforms extracted rock into standardized construction inputs sold to both public-sector infrastructure clients and private construction buyers across Greater Florianópolis and Santa Catarina state.

The company's product portfolio spans ten aggregate grades — Brita 0 (Pedrisco), Brita 1, Brita 2, Pedra 4, Rachão (Pedra Pulmão), BGS (Brita Graduada Simples), Pó de Pedra (Areia Industrial), Bica Corrida, Pedra Detonada, and Rejeito de Britagem — together with hot-mixed asphalt (CBUQ) and bundled paving services including earthwork (Terraplanagem) and drainage (Drenagem). Operations are integrated from extraction through crushing, grading, asphalt production, and paving delivery. Pedrita holds ISO 9001 quality certification and is documented as the first quarry in Latin America to achieve ISO 14001 environmental management certification. A Forest Nursery (Horto Florestal) at each operational unit produces native and fruit seedlings for mine-site rehabilitation and community engagement.

Pedrita operates a sales-led, quote-based commercial model. Customers engage via dedicated phone lines (sales, customer service/ouvidoria) and a website budget-request form. Revenue is generated from one-time construction materials sales and project-based paving services. The public-sector customer base includes landmark projects such as Hercílio Luz International Airport, Ponte Colombo Salles bridge, Rodovia Jornalista Manoel de Menezes, and Sapiens Parque technology park, while the private segment covers condominiums, subdivisions (loteamentos), yards (pátios), and parking lots. The company remains a privately held Ltda. entity with no disclosed venture capital or private equity backing and no recent M&A or funding activity.

Direct peers

• Mineração Jundu: Sand and aggregates mining company operating in São Paulo state. Comparable as a vertically integrated construction materials producer mining nonmetallic minerals for civil construction, with similar product range (sand substitutes, crushed stone) to Pedrita.
• Engemix (Votorantim Cimentos): Ready-mix concrete producer (now part of Votorantim) that purchases aggregates to produce concrete for construction projects. Comparable as a downstream buyer/producer of concrete, sharing Pedrita's customer base of construction contractors.
• Embu S.A. Engenharia e Comércio: Brazilian aggregates producer specializing in crushed stone for construction and paving applications. Directly comparable as a regional-to-national aggregates miner serving infrastructure contractors with a similar product portfolio to Pedrita's brita grades and BGS offerings.
• Concrebrás: Brazilian concrete and aggregates supplier serving infrastructure and civil construction. Comparable through its aggregates and concrete product lines serving similar end-customers as Pedrita.

Broad incumbents

• Andrade Gutierrez: Large Brazilian construction and infrastructure concessionaire. Comparable as a public infrastructure contractor that both competes for the same government paving contracts and consumes significant aggregate volumes, though at much larger scale.
• Construcap: Major Brazilian construction and engineering firm executing infrastructure projects. Comparable as a buyer of aggregates and asphalt for large-scale road, airport, and industrial projects, and competitor in the integrated paving services segment.
• Votorantim Cimentos: Largest cement and aggregates producer in Brazil with national operations. Comparable because it produces construction aggregates and supplies infrastructure projects across the country, though it operates at vastly greater scale and geographic breadth than Pedrita.
• CSN (Companhia Siderúrgica Nacional): Brazilian steel major with an aggregates and cement division serving infrastructure and construction. Comparable as a large diversified industrial player supplying raw materials to construction, though steelmaking is its dominant business.
• Holcim Brasil (Heidelberg Materials): Major global cement and aggregates player with Brazilian operations. Comparable through its aggregates and ready-mix concrete offerings serving infrastructure and construction markets, competing with Pedrita in tenders though with broader product portfolio.

Regional players

• Pedrasul: Aggregates producer based in Rio Grande do Sul, southern Brazil. Comparable as a regional mining-to-paving company serving infrastructure in southern Brazil, though operating in a different state than Pedrita.
