What Sh Formas Andaimes e Escoramentos does

Grupo IW8 Construmaq (legal entity CONSTRUMAQ INDÚSTRIA DE MÁQUINAS E EQUIPAMENTOS LTDA) is a Brazilian manufacturer of metal scaffolding and shoring equipment, founded in 2010 in Brusque, Santa Catarina, and operating nationally under the brands IW8 Construmaq, IW8, and IW8 - Escoras Metálicas. The core product line consists of six models of adjustable metal props (escoras metálicas reguláveis) spanning 1.5m to 4.5m in height with load capacities of 400–1,800 kg, manufactured in SAE 1020 steel with an optional hot-dip galvanization finish, complemented by an ecosystem of accessories including crossbars, forks, support tripods, alignment beams, anchoring bars and nuts, form tensors, prop-manufacturing kits, and containment barriers. Each prop is shipped with an ART (technical responsibility annotation) and calculation memorial under NBR 15696, NBR 6494, NR 12, and NR 18 compliance.

The company sells factory-direct from two units in Brusque to construction companies, equipment rental operators, and distributors across all Brazilian states, using website, email, phone, and WhatsApp as primary contact channels, with a partner rental network for customers seeking rental rather than purchase. Revenue is generated through one-time sales of equipment, accessories, and replacement parts, with BNDES-backed installment financing (up to 48 installments) available to lower the acquisition barrier. Customers include large Brazilian enterprises across construction (MRV, Cyrela, Odebrecht, Camargo Corrêa, Brookfield, PDG, Melnick Even), industrial (WEG, Motherson), pulp and paper (Suzano), energy (CTG Brasil), and retail (Havan), with the company claiming 15,000+ completed projects over 15 years.
