What Varixx does

Varixx (Varixx Industria Eletronica LTDA) is a Brazilian industrial electronics manufacturer founded in 1976 and headquartered in Piracicaba, São Paulo. The company designs, manufactures, and services complex power electronics and industrial automation equipment, organized across six product categories: protection and measurement, load actuation, excitation systems, AC/DC converters and rectifiers, complete integrated systems, and ONNO LED industrial lighting. Its proprietary ZYGGOT product line provides infrared-based continuous thermal monitoring (CTM) and UV-based arc flash detection for energized electrical assets, while its semiconductor line (Zytrode), high-power rectifiers (Rectivar, up to 45,000A), and excitation systems (Statvar, VED, VEC series) serve power generation and motor control applications. The ONNO LED sub-brand comprises over 300 luminaire models produced entirely in Brazil for industrial, commercial, agricultural, and public-infrastructure applications.

The company runs a B2B enterprise field-sales motion targeting directors, managers, supervisors, and technicians in industrial verticals. GTM is consultative, with quote-based pricing delivered through demo and contact forms, and multi-year contracts for hardware deployments. Revenue derives from hardware sales of power electronics and LED luminaires, professional services (technical assistance, training, engineering, retrofit), and supervisory software downloads. The customer base spans industrial manufacturing, power generation (hydroelectric, thermal, renewables), data centers, agriculture, and infrastructure/government projects in Brazil and select international markets. Customers cite outcomes such as 75%+ lighting energy savings (Drogal case study) and 24/7 protection of critical electrical assets.

Operationally, Varixx is independently owned with no disclosed institutional investors, no parent company, and no recorded funding rounds. Headcount sits in the 51–100 range, and the company is LGPD-compliant. The product roadmap includes new CTM and arc-flash variants for transformers currently in development, and the website is offered in Portuguese, English, and Spanish, signaling internationalization intent.
