Thomas Técnica

What Thomas Técnica does

Thomas Técnica is a 100% Brazilian industrial transmission technology provider founded in 1979 and headquartered in São Paulo. The company manufactures and distributes mechanical power transmission components — couplings (elastic, elastomer, bellows, blade, precision, industrial, drum, tire, linear), Cardan shafts (industrial and maritime), indexing tables, brake-clutches (hydraulic, pneumatic, wet), torque limiters (R+W industrial and precision series), and fixation systems (Berg) — for the Brazilian industrial manufacturing sector. Beyond its own branded manufacturing, the company operates as the exclusive or primary Brazilian representative of seven international brands, including R+W (torque limiters), Jaure (spindles, drum couplings), Berg (fixation/tool clamping), Reich, Gewes, Goizper, supplementing its proprietary line with globally recognized technology and giving customers a one-stop source for transmission solutions. The ARCUSAFLEX highly elastic coupling is ATEX-certified for explosive atmospheres, with torque capacity from 200 Nm to 110,000 Nm.

The business model is a hybrid manufacturer-distributor: roughly quote-based pricing with no public list prices, direct sales through telephone, WhatsApp, and website inquiries, and a stated value proposition of local stock with immediate delivery, one-year warranty, flexibility on imported products, and special conditions for large demand. The company claims 10,000+ cumulative customers served over 45+ years, a horizontal segmentation across industrial manufacturing verticals, and a multidisciplinary engineering team capable of custom projects. Distribution is single-country domestic (Brazil), with no disclosed subsidiaries, no external funding, and no public financial reporting.
