A 100% Brazilian company, founded in 1993 by two technicians in Rio Claro/SP, Brazil.
In March 1993, two young technicians working for a large multinational decided to build the company they believed in, one where quality, fast delivery and good customer service came first.
That is how Esmaltec was born, in a small rented shed, with little capital and plenty of determination. It was a time of hard work. With the trust of its first employees, sales grew, the customer base expanded and honest service became the rule, which to this day keeps customers and suppliers loyal.
Keeping the same entrepreneurial philosophy and the same ethical principles, Esmaltec kept investing in new technologies, products and services, and became one of the leading companies in a sector made up almost entirely of multinationals.
The commitment the company was founded on, in every product that leaves the plant.
Speed from order to dispatch, so customers get what they need, when they need it.
Close attention to every customer, before and after the sale.
A non-negotiable rule with customers and suppliers.
Esmaltec starts making and selling its first ceramic compounds, in a small rented shed.
Purchase of the first forklift and two used trucks.
Acquisition of a 27,600 m² plot in the Rio Claro Industrial District.
Construction of a 2,000 m² building and purchase of modern equipment to produce compounds.
Production starts at the new compounds plant. Work begins on the ceramic frit plant, over 2,100 m², and on the administration building.
Two new melting furnaces double frit production capacity. A neighbouring plot brings the total area to over 48,000 m², and a gas filtering system is installed.
Construction of the building for training, medical care and occupational safety, and installation of the truck scale.
New frit drying and processing equipment, and production of new products such as granules begins. A 500 kVA generator, an artesian well, natural gas and new 27-tonne trailers arrive. The site now covers about 50,000 m², with 6,000 m² of buildings.
From its plant in Rio Claro, in Brazil’s largest ceramic cluster, Esmaltec serves customers in every region of the country, in Latin America and on other continents.
