São Paulo, the industrial heart of Brazil with 26 million people, is home to a company that has left a lasting mark on the market: AGRU Brasil. Founded in 1999 in Rio de Janeiro by Alois Gruber Sr., the company started with a small team and a big vision – to provide plastic engineering solutions tailored to the challenges of Latin America's largest economy. Today, AGRU is synonymous with top-tier quality in plastic engineering.
The secret to AGRU Brasil’s success lies in its dedicated team. Together, all employees contribute to realizing the company’s vision and delivering high-quality solutions to customers.
Francisco Pizarro: The Strategist
As Managing Director for South America, Francisco Pizarro has a visionary approach. A civil engineer by training and a business leader by practice, he has been steering AGRU Brasil since 2021. "We don’t just sell products," says Pizarro. "We create value – for our customers and the people behind their projects."
Daniel Nogueira: The Problem-Solver
Daniel Nogueira, Country Manager, is a seasoned professional with 19 years of technical sales experience. Known for his practical mindset, he anticipates challenges and addresses them head-on. Customers trust him for his ability to think in solutions and deliver with precision.
Ligiane Mota: The Finance Expert
Another key member of the team is Ligiane Mota, Finance Manager. With her expertise, she ensures financial stability and supports AGRU Brasil’s growth.
The entire AGRU Brasil team combines expertise and passion. Each individual plays a vital role in developing innovative solutions and delivering exceptional service.
In its early days, AGRU Brazil focused on AGRULINE, durable PE piping systems for water, wastewater, and gas infrastructure. The move to São Paulo marked a turning point, positioning the company to tackle the demands of Brazil’s industrial powerhouse. AGRU has since expanded into sectors like chemical industry, petrochemicals, oil, and gas, where reliability and operational excellence are non-negotiable. Over 25 years, AGRU Brazil has not just entered these markets – it has redefined them.
It’s not just the large inventory in São Paulo or the cutting-edge technology behind its products. It’s the relentless drive to be better. While the PE 100-RC AGRULINE piping system remains the business’s backbone, AGRU has pushed boundaries with concrete protection systems and fluoropolymers for demanding industrial applications.
At AGRU Brazil, it’s the people who make the difference. "Our culture isn’t just about work," says Pizarro. "It’s about commitment – to our customers and our values." The results speak for themselves – clear, measurable, and trusted by all.
