Metalúrgica Skymsen

What Metalúrgica Skymsen does

Metalúrgica Skymsen (legal entity Metalúrgica Siemsen Ltda) is a Brazilian manufacturer of commercial food processing equipment headquartered in Brusque, Santa Catarina, founded in 1963. The company designs and produces stainless steel professional kitchen equipment organized into six product lines — Butchery, Slicer, Bar/Restaurant, Ice Cream Parlor, Bakery, and Dishwasher — covering blenders, meat grinders, slicers, fryers, ovens, mixers, food processors, juice extractors, and dishwashers. Core proprietary technologies include the Seamless Cup Blender (Copo Monobloco) — a stainless steel cup formed without welding or junctions — low-noise commercial blenders, energy-efficient industrial ovens, and pizza dough sheeters that replicate manual dough quality. Industry 4.0 manufacturing processes were implemented in 2020.

The business operates a hardware sales model distributed across multiple channels: a domestic network of authorized representatives, resellers, and physical storefronts; spare parts distributors; a proprietary e-commerce virtual store (loja.skymsen.com); and international export sales with formal FOB terms published in English and Spanish. The company serves six vertical use-cases (butchery, deli, bar/restaurant, ice cream parlor, bakery, dishwasher) primarily targeting SMBs in the food service industry, with regional sales contacts covering Europe, North America, Latin America, Africa, Middle East, and Asia. Supplementary revenue is generated through USEAD, a virtual training school offering commercial and authorized technical assistance courses.

Skymsen reports presence in more than 40 countries across all continents and has won the Green Smart Label Award at HOST Milano three times (2015, 2017, 2021), most recently for a stainless steel potato peeler. The company is privately held by founders/family owners, with no disclosed external funding rounds. In 2025-2026, Skymsen received the Comerc-Sinerconsult renewable energy certification, documenting an 81.03-tonne CO2-equivalent emissions reduction through renewable electricity consumption.
