History

A success story since 1991

On February 6, 1991, initially located in the building of a former company in downtown Venâncio Aires, Venâncio began operations producing wood-burning stoves, serving two markets from the start: the domestic market in Rio Grande do Sul, and exports to Argentina.

Early growth, built on the quality of the equipment produced and speed of delivery, soon called for an expanded product line. The market expanded into the industrial range line, honored by trade publications such as Cozinha Profissional, which named it the preferred brand among leading figures and decision-makers in Brazil's foodservice industry.

The product line kept pace with the market: buffet warmers, griddles, fryers, ovens of various models and sizes, dough mixers, turbo ovens, proofing cabinets, space heaters, ice machines, beverage dispensers, water coolers, combi ovens, and much more. All of this placed Venâncio among the largest metalworking companies in the Rio Pardo and Taquari Valleys region.

Feito bem feito, from foundry to finished product

The moment a Venâncio product leaves its packaging and reaches the consumer's hands, few imagine the path it took to get there. Working with durable goods, Venâncio requires extensive machinery and physical space to keep production at established quality standards. That is why we continuously invest in new machinery and in expanding our built-up area, upgrading our facilities and valuing our workforce — to produce better equipment, with the most modern technologies and lower costs.

Our manufacturing complex features state-of-the-art machinery, such as punching machines and laser cutting equipment, in addition to our own foundry with capacity to cast up to 400 tons per month. Our employees receive ongoing training and development, manufacturing products found throughout Brazil and in dozens of countries.

Our plans to expand the product lines, win new markets, and hire qualified professionals show that the company knows where it wants to go: without giving up clean production technologies, respecting the environment, and continually contributing to the growth of the community in which it operates. Our story is only just beginning — and we keep working to make your life easier.
