BYG Transequip

What BYG Transequip does

BYG Transequip Ind. e Com. de Empilhadeiras Ltda is a Brazilian manufacturer of material handling and cargo verticalization equipment, founded in 1979 in São Paulo and now headquartered in Cajamar-SP. The company produces forklift trucks (empilhadeiras) and pallet trucks (transpaleteiras) in manual, semi-electric, and fully electric traction variants, along with tow tractors (rebocadores), manual scissor lift tables (mesas pantográficas), and custom-engineered equipment (projetos especiais). Its products are organized into two sub-brands — the Evolution line for high-performance operations with heavy loads and the Compact line for lighter applications — and include models with lifting capacities up to 3,500 kg and lift heights up to 5,800 mm. The company pioneered 100% national manufacturing of cargo movement equipment in Brazil in 1981 and operates a modern production facility in the Cajamar logistics hub.

The company generates revenue through three primary streams: equipment manufacturing and sales (hardware), equipment rental (recurring), and maintenance and after-sales services (factory technical assistance, original spare parts, authorized service centers, and operator training). Pricing is quote-based with no public price list, reflecting a B2B direct-sales model. Go-to-market combines a website-based quote request funnel, participation in major trade shows such as APAS (the largest supermarket trade show in Latin America), and a nationwide authorized service network. The customer base is concentrated in two primary verticals: retail/supermarkets and logistics/industrial operations, with a secondary use case in storage and warehouse management. The company employs over 100 professionals, is privately held and bootstrapped with no disclosed external funding, and operates exclusively in the Brazilian domestic market.
