What Mayekawa do Brasil does
Mayekawa do Brasil Equipamentos Industriais Ltda. is a wholly-owned Brazilian subsidiary of Japan's Mayekawa MFG. CO. LTD. (founded 1924), operating in Brazil since 1968. The company manufactures and services industrial refrigeration systems from its headquarters and factory in Arujá, São Paulo, supported by a 16-branch service network across Brazil. Its core product portfolio centers on MYCOM-brand compressors (screw, reciprocating, and semi-hermetic variants), a chiller family (MAG, Microchannel, RSW, Subcooled Water), compact refrigeration systems (USAT), heat pumps, and food-processing deboning robots (WINGDAS, TORIDAS, HAMDAS, YIELDAS). The company also distributes Frascold semi-hermetic compressors in Brazil and operates biogas/biomethane compression systems for renewable-energy clients.
The technology is grounded in the parent's "Natural Five" philosophy — systems engineered around ammonia (NH3), CO2, water, hydrocarbons, and air as refrigerants — and includes a patented stratified thermal storage reservoir (PI 0403868-1) and the first CO2-Brine system in Brazil, which reduces ammonia charge by roughly 90% and project pressure by 60%. Customers include Sodebo (food), Portonave/Iceport (port logistics), Laticínios Porto Alegre (dairy), São Salvador Alimentos (poultry), and Petrobras — both the Replan refinery and the P-78 FPSO vessel — spanning food & beverage, oils & fats, dairy, oil & gas, port logistics, HVACR, and pharmaceutical cold-chain segments.
Revenue is generated through four streams: industrial equipment sales (compressors, chillers, heat pumps, food processing machines), maintenance and technical services (preventive, predictive, corrective, plus the MK Pred remote-monitoring platform), original parts sales, and automation/retrofit improvement projects. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed; the company runs a sales-led go-to-market with direct technical engagement, supplemented by participation in industry events (Fispal, Febrava, Chillventa, Mercoagro) and regional workshops. Exports from the Arujá plant serve Latin American subsidiaries, the United States, China, and the Middle East, positioning the Brazilian operation as a reference hub within the global Mayekawa Group.
