What Parafixar Indústria e Comércio de Parafusos LTDA does

Parafixar Indústria e Comércio de Parafusos LTDA is a privately held Brazilian manufacturer of high-resistance screws and fasteners, founded in 1986 by brothers Flávio and Cláudio Batista originally as Indústria de Parafusos Halley in São Paulo's East Zone and rebranded to its current name in 1994 upon relocation to its present facility. The company operates a single 3,000m² manufacturing site in Vila Silvia, São Paulo, with 27 employees, and specializes in custom-fabricated fasteners ranging from M12 to M64 in diameter (1/2" to 2.1/2") and up to 1,200mm in length, produced via hot forging and machining and finished with phosphate, zinc plating (yellow or white), hot-dip galvanizing, or organometallic coatings in compliance with ABNT, ASTM, ANSI, and DIN technical standards.

The company's product portfolio covers hexagonal bolts, square head screws, Allen (socket cap) screws, T-bolts, French-pattern screws, headless set screws, full and partial thread screws, and engineered "special screws" made to customer specification. Parafixar sells exclusively on a B2B, quote-based, made-to-order basis through direct phone, WhatsApp, and email contact, with no disclosed pricing or digital self-serve channel. Its commercial focus is the Brazilian domestic market, with application segments spanning wind energy (Class 10.9 and 12.9 bolts, duplex stainless fasteners for coastal wind farms), naval and oil & gas, agricultural equipment, automotive, electrification and telephony, steel structures and construction (ASTM A325/A490), railway, and mining/sanitation/power generation.

The business is family-owned with no institutional investors, holding company, or external capital structure disclosed, and the founders remain operationally involved. The company holds ISO 9001 quality management certification and applies multi-stage raw material analysis, dimensional verification, and equipment calibration as documented quality controls. Revenue, headcount trends, funding history, and customer-level concentration are not publicly disclosed, limiting external financial visibility into the operating business.
