Lubrac

What Lubrac does

Lubrac is a Brazilian private industrial engineering firm founded in 2017 and headquartered in Campinas, São Paulo, that designs, manufactures, and commissions custom equipment for industrial lubrication, mechanical sealing, hydraulic power, and thermal management. Its product portfolio centers on forced lubrication units (ULF) for bearings and mechanical seals, API 682-compliant sealing plans, industrial and API 614 hydraulic units, shell-and-tube heat exchangers, custom tanks and reservoirs (including soda/caustic and food-grade variants), pressure accumulators, and mobile filtering/refueling carts. Differentiated offerings include the Unidade Multiplanos, which integrates API plans 21, 23, 32, 53B, and 54 into a single structure, and a stated 10-day design-to-test cycle for forced lubrication units with 100% pre-delivery testing under simulated operating conditions.

The company serves primarily process industries (chemical, petrochemical, refining) and is expanding into food processing and energy/power generation verticals. All equipment is custom-engineered to client specifications, and the company also provides professional services including sealing plan consulting, identification of problematic equipment ('bad actors') in customer plants, field peritagem (expert assessment), installation support, and commissioning through final performance verification. Lubrac operates a direct enterprise field sales model without intermediaries, reaches both Brazilian and international markets, and uses a project-based, custom-quoted pricing model with multi-year contract structures. The firm is founder-led, employs 11-50 people, and has no disclosed institutional investors, funding rounds, or public listings.
