What Construcola does
Construcola is a Brazilian manufacturer of construction materials specializing in ready-mix mortars (argamassas), adhesive mortars, grouts, plasters, and related products. Founded in 1994 and operating for over 30 years, the company is a brand of the Polimix Organization, with its legal entity registered as PEGADA FORTE INDÚSTRIA DE ARGAMASSAS LTDA. It operates modern industrial parks across three Brazilian states—Rio de Janeiro (Seropédica and Saquarema), São Paulo (Santana de Parnaíba/Vila Industrial), and Espírito Santo (Guarapari)—enabling regional distribution coverage.
The company's product portfolio spans five main lines: Linha Colante (adhesive mortars: ACI, ACII FLEX, 6x1, ACIII FLEX, ACIII MAX for ceramic, porcelain, marble, and granite installation), Linha Rejunte (acrylic and cementitious grouts), Linha Tradicional (universal, rendering, screed, and structural mortars), Linha Chapisco (plaster/scratch coat mortars), and Linha Diversos (white cement, Portland cement, and rapid plaster). All products comply with ABNT technical standards and are manufactured with industrial precision in mix ratios, packaged in sizes ranging from 1kg to 50kg. The technology relies on controlled industrial mixing processes and quality raw materials, with a 2022 investment in biomass-fueled heat generators reducing CO2 emissions by 20,723 tonnes.
Construcola serves B2B customers through a multi-channel distribution model: direct sales to construction companies, distribution networks, retail stores, and wholesale distributors. It targets construction companies (construtoras), distributors, retail stores, and wholesalers across small, medium, and large construction projects. The company is recognized as the first in the civil construction sector to implement the Fundação Iochpe Formare professional education program, with 362 youth trained since 2011. Revenue is not publicly disclosed, and the company operates as a privately held subsidiary of the Polimix Organization.
