What Altec Industrial does

Altec Industrial is a privately held Brazilian manufacturer of industrial process equipment and turnkey material processing plants, founded in 1982 and headquartered in an integrated industrial complex in Cordeiro, State of Rio de Janeiro. The company designs, engineers, fabricates, and assembles equipment for material processing, handling, classification, separation, drying, and transportation, serving heavy industries including steel/metallurgy, mining, quarrying, cement, recycling, civil construction, agriculture, chemical, food/pharmaceutical, and glass. Its product portfolio comprises 16 distinct equipment lines — ball mills, hammer mills, smooth roller mills, bucket elevators, conveyor belts, vibratory feeders and screens, bag filters, batch mixers, rotary dryers, metal silos, screw conveyors, air classifiers, rotary screens, dewatering wheels, and vibratory chutes — complemented by four service offerings: equipment manufacturing, process engineering, industrial assembly, and full turnkey projects.

The company leverages proprietary in-house process engineering software developed by its engineering team to design and optimize customized equipment and process solutions for each client's specific operational requirements. Its Cordeiro facility functions as a vertically integrated manufacturing complex supporting the full project lifecycle from concept and engineering through fabrication, on-site assembly, commissioning, and startup. The company claims equipment durability exceeding 40 years, with first units built in 1982 reportedly still in daily operation at client sites, and positions this longevity as a core differentiator versus competing fabricators.

Altec generates revenue through direct B2B enterprise sales to industrial clients on a quote-based pricing model for custom-engineered projects. Its go-to-motion centers on a direct field sales force reaching heavy-industry buyers across nine vertical segments, supported by a digital presence (corporate website, social media handle @altec.industrial, email newsletter, and WhatsApp). The revenue mix combines hardware sales (custom equipment and spare/wear parts) with professional services (turnkey projects, on-site industrial assembly, and process engineering). The company operates as a private entity with no disclosed parent, investor, or public listing, and maintains a national Brazilian footprint via a network of approximately 1,500 professionals distributed across the country, with no documented international operations or export activity.
