Arteres Indústrias E Comércio Ltda

What Arteres Indústrias E Comércio Ltda does

Arteres Indústrias E Comércio Ltda is a privately held Brazilian manufacturer of eyeglass cases and optical accessories, founded in April 1986 by Joaquim Duarte and Marco Peres and headquartered in Santo André, Greater São Paulo. The company originally commercialized promotional gifts and pivoted to the optical sector in 1990, where it has since built a 38+ year presence supplying Brazil's optical distributors, manufacturers, and retail chains with branded cases and accessories. Its product portfolio spans rigid injection-molded cases (over 20 SKUs including Athenas, Havaí, Paris, V8, and Roma), EVA cases, special and children's cases, plus an extended line of bags, shopping bags, and toiletry bags marketed under the Arteres Estojos brand.

The company's core technology centers on manufacturing physical cases using EVA, injected plastic, synthetic materials, and nylon fabrics, with in-house finishing capabilities including hot-stamping, silk-screen printing, vacuum forming, and pad printing to support customer branding. Arteres operates an in-house design team that produces exclusive creations and tracks global optical trends by attending international events such as ExpoÓptica and Ajorsul. The business model is project-based B2B manufacturing with customization, requiring minimum order quantities (e.g., 300 pieces on the Havaí model) and quote-based pricing. Revenue is generated through direct sales to optical industry buyers, sales at trade fairs, and a parallel e-commerce storefront at arteres.com.br that serves smaller customers and consumers.

The company remains privately held under its founding partners with no external investors, parent entity, or disclosed funding. It employs approximately 28 people, serves only the domestic Brazilian market, and has no disclosed certifications, partnerships, or M&A activity. Substantive unknowns include revenue, growth rate, customer concentration, and any form of digital or AI-enabled capability.
