RD Industrial

What RD Industrial does

RD Industrial is a privately held Brazilian industrial equipment manufacturer and service provider, founded around 2008 and headquartered in Itumbiara, Goiás. The company operates from a 4,000m² owned factory and employs 11–50 people, focusing on the Brazilian domestic market. Its primary line of business is the manufacture of seed industry equipment, including the proprietary Separador Rotativo Axial de Palha (SRAP) straw separator, belt conveyors, combined elevators, and industrial valves used in seed processing facilities. The company has positioned itself as a specialized supplier to seed processors with 15+ years of vertical experience.

The company's commercial offering spans three coordinated lines. First, it manufactures industrial equipment for seed processing, with fabrication performed both in-house and on customer sites. Second, it operates a metal fabrication services arm using Trumpf CNC laser cutting, plasma CNC, hydraulic guillotine (up to 6.35mm), and hydraulic bending (up to 10mm) for carbon steel, stainless steel, and aluminum, supporting custom profiles and dimensions per customer specification. Third, it runs a rental segment for aerial work platforms (PTAs), offering electric models for indoor use and diesel models for outdoor applications such as construction, painting, electrical work, and large-scale assembly, complemented by certified operator training aligned with NR 18 compliance.

RD Industrial generates revenue through three streams: hardware sales of seed industry equipment, project-based and contract metal fabrication services, and managed-services rental income from PTAs. Its go-to-market is direct, with customers engaging via the company website (including 'COMPRAR' purchase flows on product pages), email, or phone for custom quotations. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is handled on a contact basis. The company targets two named verticals—seed processing (primary) and construction/commerce/industrial (secondary for PTA rentals)—and its marketing relies primarily on its website and direct customer relationships rather than institutional channels.
