What Bomax does

Bomax (legal name Bomax do Brasil) is a privately held Brazilian industrial equipment manufacturer founded in 1983 and headquartered in Taboão da Serra, São Paulo. The company designs, manufactures, and assembles fluid-handling equipment — primarily centrifugal, pneumatic diaphragm, magnetic coupling, and dosing pumps, plus plate filter presses, galvanic filters, industrial agitators/mixers, and polypropylene storage tanks — for the transfer and treatment of corrosive, aggressive, flammable, toxic, and viscous liquids. Its core differentiator is a patented mixed-seal technology ("Selo Misto") offered alongside hydrodynamic and hermetic sealing options, with products constructed in chemically resistant thermoplastics (polypropylene, PTFE/Teflon, PVDF) and validated on an INMETRO-accredited computerized test bench developed in partnership with the Federal University of Itajubá.

The company sells through a direct, technical-sales motion in Brazil, supported by a multilingual (Portuguese/Spanish) website with technical blog content, phone, WhatsApp, and email channels. Customers are industrial buyers across the chemical/petrochemical, galvanic/electroplating, water and effluent treatment, and (to a lesser extent) food/pharmaceutical/cosmetic sectors. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed; certain product lines (MAXBLOC, MAXSUB, PRENSAMAX, SOLUMAX) are eligible for BNDES government-backed financing. Hardware sales generate essentially all revenue; the company also distributes magnetic pumps from partner manufacturers. Quality management is certified to ISO 9001:2015 since 2006, and an ABIMAQ exclusivity certificate plus an INMETRO-conformity attestation (Ordinance 455) round out its compliance posture. Headcount is in the 51–100 range, and the company has no disclosed institutional investors, parent, or M&A history.

Core offering

Bomax is a Brazilian industrial equipment manufacturer founded in 1983 that designs, develops, manufactures, assembles, and tests in-house a complete portfolio of fluid-handling equipment — chemical centrifugal pumps (MAXBLOC), pneumatic diaphragm pumps (MAXPNEUMATIC), magnetic coupling centrifugal pumps (MAXMAG), electronic and motor-driven dosing pumps (MIDIMAX, DOSAMAX), extended-shaft submersible pumps (MAXSUB), plate filter presses (PRENSAMAX), galvanic filters (MAXFILTRO), industrial agitators/mixers (AGIMAX), and polypropylene storage/circulation tanks (SOLUMAX). The portfolio is specialized for transferring corrosive, aggressive, flammable, toxic, and viscous liquids across chemical, petrochemical, galvanic, water/effluent treatment, food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic industrial applications.

Product overview

Bomax is an industrial equipment manufacturer founded in 1983, offering a comprehensive portfolio of fluid-handling solutions for chemical-corrosive applications. The core product line centers on several branded pump families: MAXPNEUMATIC (pneumatic diaphragm pumps), MAXBLOC (plastic centrifugal chemical pumps in polypropylene, Teflon, or PVDF), MAXMAG (magnetic centrifugal pumps for hermetic leak-proof operation), and MAXSUB (extended-shaft centrifugal pumps for submerged applications). Dosing pump offerings are covered by two sub-brands: MIDIMAX (electronic dosing with PLC/VFD control) and DOSAMAX (motor-driven multi-head dosing). These are complemented by filtration equipment (PRENSAMAX plate filter presses and MAXFILTRO galvanic filters), AGIMAX industrial agitators and mixers, and SOLUMAX polypropylene storage/circulation tanks. A range of accessories supports the product line including the SB.Max32 pump supervisor, PULMAX pulsation dampeners, and electric control panels. All products are developed, manufactured, and assembled in-house, with ISO 9001:2015 certification.
