Purchase an established business with a blue-chip client list and a patented, cost saving welding technologyThe Business
The Company has been successful by providing precision and quality welding services to a client base that includes Brazil’s leading industrial companies: CVRD – Companhia Vale do Rio Doce (one of the world’s largest mining companies), MRS, Petrobras (the Brazilian oil company), CFN – Companhia Ferroviária do Nordeste (the principal Railway for northern Brazil), the Brazilian Navy. The client list also includes many multinationals: G-Steel (the leading Thai Steel Company), Dow Chemical, Millennium, among others. The Company has the potential to explore multimillion dollars contracts in the United States and worldwide.

One of the Company’s most significant technologies is a unique, patent-protected, low temperature welding process that was developed by its founder. This new low temperature capillary electric welding process eliminates the negative effects of conventional high-temperature welding. The process allows the electric welding of metal parts, regardless of their size, composition and whether they have undergone previous heat treatments. The procedure is executed at controlled temperatures, thereby eliminating the need for any kind of heat treatment, before or after the operation.
By virtue of its characteristics, the process can be applied to all types of metallic objects, from cast iron to high alloy steels, hardened or unhardened, cast, forged or laminated, independent of their chemical composition, including bimetals and several types of non-ferrous metals, such as copper, bronze and brass. Because penetration does not occur (only fusion between the base metal and the deposited weld occurs), there is no need for identification of the chemical composition of the base material. Accordingly, the choice of the most adequate electrode is based on the purpose desired.
The versatility of this process permits it to be used in the most varied jobs for parts and equipment restoration, damaged by breakage, cracking, impact, mechanical wear or corrosion, while allowing application of the most appropriate type of electrodes for the specific purpose. Applied in a variety of heavy industrial contexts in Brazil, the new technology achieves savings relative to conventional technology of 20 to 40%.
The Company’s shareholders are seeking to sell their equity, which includes the technology and its rights, patented in the United States, Brazil, Mexico and other countries.
