What LBA does

LBA is a Brazilian metal-parts manufacturer headquartered in Nova Odessa, São Paulo, producing stamped, bent, welded, and assembled components for two principal end-markets: white-goods manufacturers (linha branca) and automotive OEMs and tier suppliers. The company positions itself as a one-source supplier of complete subassemblies rather than individual stampings, integrating four production disciplines on a single site.

Core capabilities span metal stamping on 80–350 ton presses, CNC and PLC-controlled tube and wire bending, robotic and manual welding across Mig/Mag, Tig, projection, and spot processes, small-tonnage plastic injection molding, and final mechanical assembly. Two IATF-certified and ISO 9001:2015-aligned facilities operate within Nova Odessa, supported by in-house tooling, product development, and process engineering. The IATF 16949 certification indicates the firm is qualified to supply automotive-grade components, while ISO 9001:2015 covers broader industrial quality management.

The commercial model is direct B2B and quote-driven, consistent with custom-engineered subassemblies rather than catalog parts. Revenue is generated per part or per assembly via negotiated contracts with white-goods and automotive customers; no pricing tiers, e-commerce, or distributor channels are indicated. With 501–1,000 employees and no disclosed revenue, customer roster, or parent group, LBA operates as a private, mid-sized tier 2/3 industrial supplier focused on the Brazilian market.
