Piomade Indústria de Madeiras

What Piomade Indústria de Madeiras does

Piomade Indústria de Madeiras Ltda is a privately held Brazilian wood products manufacturer founded in 1993 by João D. Piovesan, headquartered in Farroupilha, Rio Grande do Sul. The company produces three core product lines from reforested pine (Pinus) wood: sawn timber (Piomade Madeira Serrada), customized wood panels (Piomade Painéis de Madeira), and wood pellets (Piomade Pellet). It serves three primary customer segments: construction and industrial operators requiring structural timber, furniture manufacturers and interior designers needing panel solutions, and residential, commercial, and industrial heating end-users seeking renewable-energy fuels.

The production model is built around a zero-waste philosophy in which all forest raw material is utilized and all residues are converted into wood pellets for renewable energy. Between 2013 and 2014, Piomade incorporated new technologies, launched its sawmill line, and began pellet production. In 2020, the company integrated BEA Empreendimentos Florestais, an affiliated forestry enterprise, gaining end-to-end control of the production cycle from pine planting to harvesting. Piomade is the first Brazilian company to obtain the international ENplus A1 certification for wood pellets, an industry-standard quality credential covering calorific value, moisture content, and durability.

The business operates on a direct-to-consumer sales model without public pricing; customers contact the company via phone, email, WhatsApp, or website forms to request quotes. Piomade markets through a multilingual website (Portuguese, English, Italian) and social channels (Instagram, Facebook), targeting both the domestic Brazilian market and international buyers. No revenue, funding, or pricing information is disclosed, and the reported headcount band of 1–10 employees is consistent with a focused, owner-managed industrial business rather than a scaled enterprise.
