Embrapac

What Embrapac does

Embrapac Equipamentos is a 100% Brazilian, family-owned industrial machinery manufacturer headquartered in São Paulo on Av. Jaguaré, 344, operating from a 2,600m² owned facility. The company traces its origins to 1954, when predecessor Vibradores Vibrelmag developed Brazil's first weighing and filling machine under patent number 4007; Embrapac has operated under its current name since 1971 and is now managed by the third generation of founder Karl Bender. Its product portfolio centers on packaging and dosing equipment for micro, small, and medium enterprises, including vertical form-fill-seal machines for thermo-sealable plastic film, automatic SOS paper bag packaging machines for powdered products, vertical balers, screw and volumetric dosers, container fillers, sack baggers, and complementary accessories such as conveyors, weight checkers, and sealers.

The underlying technology is built around Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) automation with Human-Machine Interface (HMI) operator panels, combined with electromagnetic scale dosing (MPBM gross/fine flow control), screw-based volumetric feeding (Roscamax RA), and vibrating channel dosing (Volumax VL, MP2C, MP4C) configurations. Throughput specifications include approximately one-second packaging cycles for individual products and up to 100 units per minute on vertical balers, with dosage coverage from 5 grams to 25 kilograms. The company also offers dedicated after-sales services — preventive, predictive, and corrective maintenance, equipment reform and modernization, and NR12 regulatory compliance adaptation — plus proprietary spare parts, creating a hardware-plus-aftermarket revenue structure.

Embrapac's go-to-market is direct sales, with customers requesting quotes via the company website, WhatsApp at (11) 3714-5733, phone, or email at [email protected]. Pricing is entirely quote-based and not publicly disclosed. Revenue is generated through three streams: equipment sales (capital expenditure hardware for SMBs), technical assistance services (recurring maintenance and modernization), and original spare parts and supplies. The customer base is distributed across food, agricultural, hygiene, cleaning, construction, mining, chemical, and electronics sectors within Brazil, with export reach claimed across the Americas, Europe, Africa, and Asia. The company has no disclosed institutional investors, no funding rounds, no M&A activity, and no named partnerships.
