BRYSA

What BRYSA does

BRYSA S.A. is a Chilean B2B emergency management and risk prevention company serving large industrial clients across mining, energy, forestry, and manufacturing sectors. Founded in 1997 as part of Grupo PESCO and rebranded to BRYSA in 2024 (previously PESCOSEG), the company delivers an integrated service portfolio organized around three pillars: prevention (audits, risk assessments, emergency plans, technical inspections), response (emergency brigades, ambulances, aerial firefighting), and recovery (rehabilitation, remediation, temporary facilities). It maintains a national footprint covering all 14 regions of Chile with a 59-person workforce.

The company's core technology stack is operational rather than digital: a specialized aerial firefighting fleet operated through the High Fly unit in partnership with Coulson Aviation (Canada), comprising Boeing 737 and Lockheed C-130 Hércules air tankers (15,000L capacity each) and CH-47 Chinook helicopters (10,000L capacity). This is supplemented by GPS-coordinated response systems, pioneering nighttime firefighting protocols, and a triple ISO-certified integrated management system (9001/14001/45001). Brysa has logged over 9 million accident-free work hours as recognized by ACHS.

Commercially, Brysa operates a direct enterprise sales motion with a dedicated commercial team, selling customized long-term contracts and spot emergency services to large industrial clients. Revenue is generated through professional services fees rather than product sales; pricing is not publicly disclosed. Named customers include CMPC (forestry and industrial). The company is privately held with no institutional investors, no public listing, and no disclosed funding.
