DIVIMEC

What DIVIMEC does

DIVIMEC, legally Divimec – Tecnologia Industrial Ltda., is a Brazilian privately held manufacturer of industrial equipment for steel coil processing, founded in 1988 and headquartered in Glorinha, Rio Grande do Sul. The company operates from a 12,000 m² facility integrating all internal processes — Engineering, Automation, Boiler Making (Caldeiraria), Machining, and Assembly — and is the largest manufacturer in Brazil of machines and equipment for processing steel coils, with more than 230 lines operating in the Brazilian market and additional installed equipment in Argentina, Chile, Paraguay, and Mexico.

The product portfolio comprises five core lines: Feed Lines (Linha de Alimentação), Special Equipment for Coil Processing (including unwinders, straighteners, winders, guillotines, and tensioning units), Longitudinal Cutting/Slitter Lines (Linha de Corte Longitudinal), Cross-Sectional/Cut-to-Length Lines (Linha de Corte Transversal), and Packaging Lines (Linha de Embalagem), plus Blanking and Multiblanking Lines. All equipment is custom-engineered per application for durability, precision, and operator safety.

Revenue is generated primarily through one-time capital equipment sales via direct field sales to enterprise steel and metals customers, supplemented by an aftermarket services layer covering preventive, predictive, and corrective maintenance, spare parts, refurbishment and upgrades, engineering consulting, and training and commissioning. Pricing is quote-based with multi-year contract cadence, reflecting the customized nature of each line. The customer base is concentrated in the Brazilian steel industry and includes Usiminas, ArcelorMittal, CSN, Gerdau, Aperam, Marcegaglia, and Hunter Douglas among others.
