What Athenas Puxadores does

Athenas Puxadores is a privately held Brazilian manufacturer of aluminum hardware and accessories for the tempered-glass and glazing industry, founded in 2007 and headquartered in Sorocaba, São Paulo. The company operates across 4,870m² of productive area comprising three facilities: a main assembly plant, Planta II for electrostatic painting (2,000m²), and Planta III for aluminum extrusion (1,300m², operated in partnership with an exclusive distributor). Its product portfolio is anchored by the +MAIS KIT family — including Kit Box Padrão, ATHOS Kit Box Roldana Aparente, Kit Engenharia, Kit Retrátil, Kit Pia, and Kit Parede — supported by aluminum profiles (Linha 20, Suprema, +MAIS, Maciço, and tubular sections), glass handles and accessories, and a comprehensive railing-components line. Core technology centers on aluminum alloy 6063/T5 extrusion, in-house electrostatic painting, and precision machining of engineered components such as the patent-pending Adjustable Glass Extender. The ATHOS Box Roldana Aparente uses VHB tape fixation to eliminate wall holes, and the +MAIS KIT Engenharia launched at FENAVID 2013 introduced ten exclusive engineered features.
