OCEANTECH ENGENHARIA E REFRIGERAÇÃO LTDA

What OCEANTECH ENGENHARIA E REFRIGERAÇÃO LTDA does

OCEANTECH ENGENHARIA E REFRIGERAÇÃO LTDA is a Brazilian industrial services and equipment supplier headquartered in Rio de Janeiro, operating since 2002 with a 5-employee team. The company specializes in industrial refrigeration and HVAC systems, including the design, fabrication, installation, retrofit, and maintenance of chillers (40–240 TR capacity), cold storage chambers, HVAC ducting in carbon and stainless steel, polypropylene piping (Class 10/16 kgf/cm²), and custom industrial fans. It serves primarily the naval/maritime and offshore oil & gas sectors — with documented engagements on Petrobras platforms (P-57, P-54, P-47) and the Perenco PPG-1 platform — alongside institutional clients such as UERJ and commercial accounts. OCEANTECH holds authorized representative status for BITZER compressors and CAREL industrial automation controllers, and integrates third-party OEM components (BITZER, CAREL, Carrier, Sabroe, Danfoss) into its turnkey project deliveries.

The company's service portfolio spans the full project lifecycle — from conception and engineering through fabrication, assembly, automation, and ongoing maintenance — including NR-13-compliant pneumatic testing for pressure vessels and piping systems on offshore platforms. It has progressively extended its offering into Industrial Automation (CAREL/Danfoss control panels, pneumatic actuators) and Caldeiraria (stainless steel fabrication, welding, machining), broadening scope beyond core refrigeration.

Revenue is generated through two streams: project-based industrial services (installation, retrofit, maintenance) supplied on a quote basis to enterprise clients, and hardware sales of refrigeration equipment, compressors, valves, controls, and fabricated components. Distribution is exclusively direct enterprise field sales, with no intermediaries or resellers. Marketing relies almost entirely on the company's website (oceantechbr.com), which functions as a project portfolio and lead-generation tool. The business is privately held by founder-operators (named principals Celso and Luciano) with no institutional investors, parent company, or external capital disclosed.
