What Trineva does
Trineva is a Brazilian family-owned manufacturer of commercial and industrial refrigeration equipment, founded in 1966 by Arlindo Pereira and Américo Pereira in São Paulo. The company designs and produces a comprehensive portfolio of forced-air evaporators and remote air condensers organized across 13 product lines, ranging from low-profile units (TRN, TRS, TDS) for commercial walk-in coolers and display cases to high-capacity industrial models (FTBI, FTBS) with air throw distances up to 36 meters for cold storage chambers up to 16 meters high. The product range spans capacities from 191 to 112,710 kcal/h and supports multiple refrigerant types including HCFC, HFC, HFO, CO2, and glycol secondary fluids, with notable technical features including electronically commutated (EC) motors for energy efficiency, specially dimensioned collectors for transcritical CO2 systems, hot gas defrost configurations, and streamer devices that extend air throw by up to 50%. All units are manufactured in an 8,000 m² facility in Vila Maria, São Paulo, with aluminum cabinets and stainless steel hardware, and tested at 500 psi for quality assurance.
The company's primary customer segments are supermarkets, cold storage and logistics centers, meat processing plants (frigoríficos), wholesalers, and food service establishments, with secondary reach into convenience stores and industrial process cooling applications. Trineva has delivered over 1,000 projects across its history and distributes through a network of nine regional representatives covering all 27 Brazilian states, supported by a central commercial department for direct enterprise inquiries. The go-to-market combines direct sales with channel partners, augmented by participation in industry trade shows (Febrava 2011, 2015, 2019) and an industry partnership with APAS (Associação Paulista de Supermercados) and Marechal under the Cool Solutions project, which demonstrated 17-25% energy savings in supermarket refrigeration systems. Revenue is generated through hardware sales of evaporators and condensers, with pricing not publicly disclosed and handled through direct quote-based commercial engagement. The company is currently led by the founders alongside their children Carlos Alberto Pereira and Alessandro De Fusco Pereira, reflecting a generational leadership transition within a privately held family business.

Trineva product offering
Product offeringCore offering
Trineva designs and manufactures forced-air evaporators (low, medium, high profile, ceiling, and column models) and remote air condensers (flat and V-shaped) for commercial and industrial refrigeration. The product portfolio covers capacities from 191 to 112,710 kcal/h and is compatible with HCFC, HFC, HFO, CO2, and glycol secondary fluids, serving supermarkets, cold-storage facilities, food processing plants, and wholesale distribution centers across Brazil. Production occurs at an 8,000 m² manufacturing facility in São Paulo, with units tested at 500 psi and assembled using naval aluminum cabinets and stainless steel hardware.
Product overview
Trineva is a Brazilian manufacturer of commercial and industrial refrigeration equipment with over 50 years of experience and 8,000 m² of manufacturing space in São Paulo. The product portfolio consists of two main categories: evaporators (evaporadores a ar forçado) and remote air condensers (condensadores a ar remoto). The evaporator lines are organized by ceiling height profile — baixo perfil (low profile: TRN, TRS, TRF, FTC, FTH, TDS, FCI), médio perfil (medium profile: FTBN, FTBH), and alto perfil (high profile: FTBI, FTBS) — covering capacities from 191 to 112,710 kcal/h for applications ranging from commercial display cases and small cold rooms to large industrial storage chambers. The condenser lines (TRP flat model and TRV V-shaped model) serve as remote condensing units for supermarket, warehouse, and industrial refrigeration systems. All products are designed and manufactured in Brazil with aluminum cabinets, stainless steel hardware, and support for multiple refrigerant types including HCFC, HFC, HFO, CO2, and glycol secondary fluids.
