What Vemax does
Vemax Máquinas S.A. is a Brazilian industrial machinery manufacturer founded in 1988 and headquartered in Valinhos, São Paulo, that designs, manufactures, and services slitter rewinders, inspection machines, and thermo-shrink sleeve machines for the global flexible packaging, labels, tags, and converting industries. The company's product portfolio spans at least 20 distinct models across three categories, ranging from compact short-run inspection units (e.g., VSM 250) to heavy-duty high-speed slitter rewinders capable of 850 m/min line speed and 1,600 kg roll weight (VRXS HD, VRS PREMIUM). All machines embed two proprietary software platforms: SIC (Sistema Integrado de Controle), an integrated control system providing remote internet connectivity, closed-loop load cell tension control, recipe storage for 1,000+ work orders, and online programming changes, and SIAP (Sistema Integrado de Apontamento de Produção), a production order management system logging operator actions, machine status, and downtime causes from startup to shutdown. Vemax's machines are engineered for interoperability with major third-party vision inspection vendors (NIKKA, ISRA, BST, AVT, Erhardt + Leimer) and incorporate specialized components such as NORDSON solvent metering nozzles and BST ultrasonic sensors.
The company generates revenue primarily through direct sales of custom-configured capital equipment to enterprise converters, supplemented by recurring technical support, preventive and corrective maintenance, spare parts, training, and documentation services. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales with regional commercial representatives, including a dedicated North American channel via authorized partner VETECH INTERNATIONAL LLC (Orlando, FL, contact Thomas Reardon), and is supported by multilingual digital presence (Portuguese, English, Spanish), trade show participation, and LinkedIn advertising. Target end-markets include adhesive paper and labels, flexible packaging, stretch film, laminated materials, heat shrink sleeve labels, aluminum foil, paper, non-woven fabrics, and thermal paper. Vemax operates from Brazil with disclosed commercial reach into the United States and Mexico, holds CE (European) and NR12 (Brazilian Ministry of Labor) certifications, and is a member of FTA, NEI, and ABIMAQ industry associations.

Vemax product offering
Product offeringCore offering
Vemax manufactures and sells industrial machinery for the flexible packaging, labels, and tags industries, including slitter rewinders, inspection machines, and thermo shrink sleeve machines. The company also provides proprietary control software (SIC and SIAP) integrated into all machines, along with technical support, training, and spare parts services globally.
Product overview
Vemax manufactures, markets and services a portfolio of industrial machines for the flexible packaging, labels, tags, and converting industries at a global level. The product portfolio consists of three main machine categories: Slitter Rewinders (cortadeira rebobinadeiras) for cutting and rewinding rolls, Inspection Machines (revisoras) for quality control and defect detection, and Sleeve Machines for thermo shrink sleeve label production. Supporting these hardware products are two proprietary software systems: SIC (Sistema Integrado de Controle) for integrated machine control with remote access capability, and SIAP (Sistema Integrado de Apontamento de Produção) for production management and monitoring. All machines feature the SIC platform which enables remote technical support, recipe storage for quick setup, and networked operation. The slitter rewinder line includes models ranging from standard (VRS ST) to premium (VRS PREMIUM) to high-performance heavy duty (VRXS HD), while inspection machines include compact models (VSM 250) for short-run printing and wide-web models (VRR HDW) for industrial-scale operations.
