What FAZIT does
FAZIT – FABRICAÇÃO DE SISTEMAS DE DETECÇÃO DE GASES LTDA is a Brazilian privately held limited liability company (LTDA) founded in 2012 and headquartered in Montenegro, Rio Grande do Sul. The company manufactures and sells gas detection and analysis systems for industrial environments, with its core product being the "Nose Point" detector — a continuous-monitoring device built around a high-performance electrochemical sensor cell capable of detecting ammonia (NH3), oxygen (O2), hydrogen (H2), carbon dioxide (CO2), carbon monoxide (CO), chlorine (Cl2), hydrogen sulfide (H2S), methane (CH4), LPG, and LEL. On detection, the system automatically triggers sirens, exhaust fans, and valve blocking, while a companion centralized management software ("Nose Point Software") provides real-time environmental visibility, alarm reporting, and audit-ready documentation for Brazilian regulatory norms NR-36, NR-01, and NR-15.
The company's primary customer vertical is cold storage and refrigeration (frigoríficos), where ammonia-based refrigeration creates silent leak risk and strict NR-36 compliance obligations. Secondary verticals include meat processing, dairy, beverages, logistics/warehousing, biogas plants, and water/wastewater treatment, with use cases spanning refrigeration monitoring, cold chamber atmosphere control, and chemical exposure prevention. Revenue is generated through turnkey hardware sales (equipment, installation, and commissioning) plus recurring services — preventive maintenance, corrective maintenance, calibration, and certification — executed by FAZIT's own trained technical team.
FAZIT operates a sales-led, consultative go-to-market motion: customers request customized technical proposals via the company website, WhatsApp (+55 51 3191 8880), or email ([email protected]), and pricing is quote-based rather than publicly disclosed. Distribution is supported by a regional technical assistance network spanning Montenegro (RS, headquarters and manufacturing), Minas Gerais, Paraná, Chapecó (SC, inaugurated May 2025), with São Paulo (SP) planned for January 2026. By 2015 — three years after founding — the company had reached national reference status for ammonia detection systems in cold storage, and it remains an independent, founder-owned entity with no disclosed institutional investors, parent company, or public funding rounds.
