Refricomp

What Refricomp does

Refricomp is a privately held Brazilian industrial manufacturer founded in 2005, specializing in glass doors, frames, and components for commercial refrigerated display cases. The company is headquartered in Lajeado, Rio Grande do Sul, operating from an 11,000 m² manufacturing facility that was built in 2011 and subsequently expanded in 2015 and 2020. With more than 250 direct employees, Refricomp produces a broad component portfolio organized into four categories: doors (Full Vision, Infinity Door, Slim Premium, and aluminum/PVC profile variants), glass products (monolithic and argon-gas insulated units with up to five panes and thicknesses from 3mm to 200mm), frame modules (Slim Vision, Infinity Door, Slim Luxo, Slim, Sliding, Beer Door, and Walk-in configurations), and supporting hardware (handles, hinges, torsion bars, magnetic gaskets, nylon bushings, shelf racks, and island tops). The technical differentiator is configurable, made-to-measure production with customer logo branding, custom colors, screen printing, and application-specific frame engineering.

Refricomp operates a sales-led B2B go-to-market, selling direct to refrigeration equipment manufacturers and end customers such as supermarkets, bakeries, and convenience stores via dedicated phone lines and WhatsApp-integrated sales channels, with a multilingual catalog (Portuguese, Spanish, English) and recurring presence at FEBRAVA, the largest HVAC-R event in Latin America. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed; the company reports that payment is accepted via BNDES (Brazilian National Development Bank) cards in addition to standard credit, supporting B2B financing for customers. Geographic reach is primarily Brazil, with international export operations initiated in 2015, though no specific export markets are disclosed. There are no disclosed patents, trademarks, regulatory actions, mergers, acquisitions, leadership changes, funding rounds, or external investors identified in the available data, indicating a privately held company that has grown organically from a three-person founding team in a 300 m² Arroio do Meio facility to its current scale through reinvested earnings and capacity expansion.
