What Grupo FT Segurança does

Grupo FT Segurança (legal name: FT Segurança e Serviços Ltda., CNPJ 85.355.600/0001-25) is a privately held Brazilian security and facility services company headquartered in Joinville, Santa Catarina, founded in 1992. The group operates through three wholly-owned subsidiaries — FT Segurança (patrimonial security), FT Serviços (general services), and Balkon Tecnologia (technology) — and serves industrial, commercial, residential condominium, and agribusiness/energy clients across the Southern Brazilian states of Santa Catarina, Paraná, and Rio Grande do Sul, with a workforce of approximately 861 employees.

The company operates a 24/7 Central de Monitoramento equipped with cloud-based integrated technology, and offers a portfolio that includes electronic security systems (CCTV, alarms, access control, radio frequency), patrimonial and personal surveillance authorized by the Brazilian Federal Police, armed escort, Portaria Remota (remote doorman), forest-area monitoring using drones, outsourced cleaning, reception, janitorial services, and high-rise facade cleaning. Clients access monitoring through proprietary platforms Monitore FT and Web Alarmes, and all security services are backed by ISO 9001:2015 certification (held since 2003 and upgraded in 2017) and a dedicated technology research department.

Grupo FT generates revenue primarily through professional services (guarded security, outsourced cleaning and reception) and recurring monitoring subscriptions, with additional hardware sales from electronic security system installation. Pricing is custom and quote-based, delivered through direct sales across both B2B (industries, commercial enterprises, condomínios) and B2C (residential) channels via field sales, WhatsApp, and client referrals. The flagship multi-decade relationship with Tupy — one of the world's largest iron foundries — anchors the enterprise franchise, while approximately 66 client logos on the company's website indicate a regionally diversified base across Southern Brazil.
