What Mocal Moageira de Minérios Cachoeiro (28) 99971-4784 does

Mocal Moageira de Minérios Cachoeiro is a Brazilian industrial mineral mining and processing company founded in 1964 and headquartered in Vargem Alta, Espírito Santo. The company mines and mills non-metallic carbonate minerals — primarily calcite (calcium carbonate), dolomite (calcium magnesium carbonate), and agricultural limestone — at production facilities in Vargem Alta (Filial Vargem Alta) and Cachoeiro de Itapemirim (Ita-Plana Minérios Ltda, founded 1990). Its products serve two primary segments: industrial manufacturers in paints, plastics, automotive, glass, coatings, and ceramics requiring mineral additives, and the agricultural sector where agricultural limestone is used for soil acidity correction, plantations, pastures, and pisciculture. The company also supplies micronized carbonates to animal feed producers.

The company operates specialized grinding equipment calibrated to different industry specifications and maintains an in-house physicochemical laboratory for end-to-end quality control from raw material acquisition through finished product. It holds ISO 9001 Quality Management System certification, which underwrites its position as the principal supplier of agricultural limestone in Espírito Santo state and a consolidated national carbonate supplier since the 1980s. Mocal owns its mineral deposits (jazidas), giving it vertical control over raw material supply.

Commercially, Mocal runs an enterprise field sales motion targeting large industrial customers directly from headquarters, complemented by a regional distributor/representative network — Minersan and Prominerios in São Paulo, and Adolpho Mayer Representações in Santa Catarina (Joinville). Pricing is quote-based with no public price list; customers submit budget requests through the website contact form. The legal entity is MOCAL MOAGEIRA DE MINÉRIOS CACHOEIIRO S/A, a privately-held Brazilian corporation originally founded by Dr. José Affonso Coelho. No public stock listing, venture funding, or institutional investor involvement is identified in the available record.

Direct peers

• Omya: Global specialist in calcium carbonates (natural ground and precipitated) and dolomite fillers serving paints, plastics, paper, adhesives, and construction. Most direct functional peer to Mocal's industrial carbonate offering.
• Sibelco: Global industrial minerals producer with calcite, dolomite, and limestone product lines serving similar industrial end markets including paints, plastics, glass, and ceramics. Comparable business model focused on ground/treated minerals.
• Imerys: Global leader in mineral-based specialties, including ground and precipitated calcium carbonates for paints, plastics, paper, and coatings. Directly comparable to Mocal's calcite/dolomite product line for industrial mineral additives, though at vastly larger scale.
• Lhoist: Global leader in lime and dolime products derived from limestone and dolomite, serving industrial, environmental, and agricultural markets. Comparable to Mocal's combined industrial carbonate plus agricultural limestone portfolio.
• Carmeuse: Global producer of lime, limestone, and related products for industrial, environmental, and agricultural use. Comparable to Mocal on both the industrial additive and agricultural soil-correction sides of the portfolio.

Broad incumbents

• Holcim Brasil: Brazilian cement and aggregates operations of global building materials group, with limestone quarrying and mineral additives activities serving construction markets. Comparable raw material base and partially overlapping industrial customer base.
• Vale S.A. Brazilian mining major with diversified mineral portfolio and aggregates/materials businesses serving construction and infrastructure. Comparable mineral extraction activity in Brazil, though Mocal is a niche industrial minerals specialist.
• Votorantim Cimentos: Major Brazilian cement and aggregates producer with extensive limestone quarrying operations across Brazil. Comparable raw material base (limestone) and end-market overlap in construction and infrastructure, though primarily a cement/aggregates play.
• CSN (Companhia Siderúrgica Nacional): Brazilian mining, steel, and cement conglomerate with limestone, aggregate, and industrial mineral operations serving similar industrial end markets. Comparable limestone/mineral extraction footprint in Brazil though at vastly larger scale.
• RHI Magnesita: Brazilian-domiciled refractory products major with magnesite and dolomite mining operations supplying steel, glass, and cement industries. Overlaps with Mocal on dolomite and industrial mineral customers, but focused on high-temperature refractories.
