What Novamec does

Novamec is a privately-held Brazilian manufacturer of hospital equipment and industrial laundry machinery, headquartered in Caxias do Sul, Rio Grande do Sul, and operating since 1999. The company runs two product lines out of a single facility with 11-50 employees. Its hospital line consists of mechanical and electric surgical tables (rectangular-base and T-base configurations) plus 14 accessory kits covering orthopedics, proctology, gynecology/urology/obstetrics, shoulder, lateral decubitus, bariatric, neurosurgical (Mayfield-type skull support), X-ray cassette holders, patient fixation straps, IV stands, and instrument trays. Its industrial laundry line includes horizontal washers (with and without contamination barrier), barrier washer-extractors from 36kg to 140kg capacity, centrifuge extractors, front-loading dryers, and electric calenders in 1- or 2-cylinder configurations up to 3 meters.

The core technology is mechanical and electrical engineering for patient positioning and textile processing equipment. Surgical tables incorporate human-anatomy-based design principles for safe positioning and skin/vascular integrity; laundry equipment emphasizes worker ergonomics and compliance with Brazilian Normas Regulamentadoras. The company does not publish pricing, disclose patents, certifications, or intellectual property, and the website lists no API, software, or AI features.

Novamec operates a direct-to-customer, quote-based sales model ("Orçamento") with no disclosed resellers or distributors. It markets via its company website (novamec.ind.br) supplemented by phone and WhatsApp for inquiries and technical assistance. The stated customer segments are hospitals and surgical centers (for surgical tables) and hospital/industrial laundries (for textile processing equipment), served nationwide across Brazil. No institutional investors, private equity backing, public shareholders, named customer logos, or revenue figures are disclosed; ownership appears to be founder/operator-controlled.
