What Teqma tecnologia equipamentos indústriais does

Teqma Tecnologia Equipamentos Industriais is a privately held Brazilian industrial equipment manufacturer headquartered in Itu, São Paulo, that designs, manufactures, and sells continuous production lines and standalone machines for snack and food processing. Its product portfolio covers seven continuous lines — potato chips and straw, extruded corn snacks, wheat pellets (Baconzitos), twisted wheat snacks (Tipo Torcida), sweet popcorn (canjica), gourmet popcorn (oil-free hot-air), and peanuts — together with standalone equipment such as the Formateq Júnior forming machine, sfiha former, automatic pellet fryer, continuous potato peeler, and special machines (centrifuge, paper filter, batch fryer, dough cutter). All equipment is built in Brazil using stainless steel 304 and sanitary plastics, controlled by proprietary electrical panels, and supplied with operator training included.

The company operates a direct-sales, quote-based go-to-market model targeting SMB and mid-market food processors throughout Brazil, with no distributors and no disclosed export infrastructure. Lead generation is driven by an owned website (teqma.com.br), blog content, YouTube/Instagram/Facebook channels, and direct WhatsApp/email/phone contact, supported by a financing partnership with BNDES that lowers the capital barrier for SMB buyers. With roughly 11 employees and a fragmented customer base across snack categories, Teqma positions itself as a 100% national-technology alternative to imported industrial food-processing equipment, emphasizing continuous-process efficiency, low maintenance, and Brazilian after-sales service. No revenue figures, external funding rounds, parent company, or institutional investors are disclosed in the source data.
