What ENGEMET does

ENGEMET (Engemet Metalurgia e Comércio Ltda) is a privately held Brazilian steel solutions provider founded in 1972 and headquartered in Mauá, São Paulo. The company manufactures serial precision parts for the automotive sector, with a dual product portfolio spanning raw specialty steels (spring steels, bearing steels, free-machining steels, and alloy steels for axles, rods, and special fasteners) and finished precision components (chromed damper rods, steering racks, gear shift rods, brake rollers, valve control endpieces, axles, levers, and pins) for mechanical, hydraulic, and electric steering systems in the automotive replacement market.

The company's core technology centers on steel metalworking and precision machining, supported by an in-house designed Cromo Duro (Hard Chrome) plating project with 1 million pieces per month capacity, and a German-manufactured Index MS40 robotized production line. Manufacturing processes include turning, broaching, milling, threading, deep drilling, machining center operations, induction hardening, and chrome treatments. ENGEMET holds ISO/IATF 16949:2016, ISO 9001:2015, and ISO 14001:2015 certifications, with the IATF certification serving as the primary quality credential for automotive OEM supply.

The business model is B2B direct sales to automotive manufacturers and replacement market distributors, with quote-based pricing and multi-year contracts. Distribution is exclusively domestic (Brazil). The company was recognized by Mercedes-Benz do Brasil in 2025 with the "Excelência em Custo" (Excellence in Cost) award through the Prêmio Interação program.
