OUR STORY

Today, with the inauguration of the new plant, São José Industrial is a benchmark for the market with its notorious growth and focus on the use of first-class raw materials.

The company is a reference in the application of investments and technological modernization, which guarantees products of quality and durability, standing out in the market with the most complete line of products that facilitate the life of those who live in the field.

Six hectares of land were acquired in BR 472 road, between the municipalities of Três de Maio and Boa Vista do Buricá, for the construction of the new Industrial Plant.

The aim of the project was to centralize and increase the productive capacity of the company, in addition to favouring the launch of new products.

This year, with the increase in sales and the expansion in the product line, it was necessary to open a second subsidiary.

The company in Três de Maio was an investment destined to the manufacture of agricultural trailers and forage wagon, as well as cutting of pieces in plasma to meet our demands.

In the process of expansion of São José Industrial to the whole country, it was necessary to hire other professionals that met the new demands of the company.

In 2012, the first commercial representative was hired to serve the state of Mato Grosso. This was another step for the São José to gain national recognition with its products.

São José gained a new brand and, thus, it was renamed São José Industrial. It was a period of change with the first participation in Expointer, in Esteio, one of the largest fairs in the state.

The São José Industrial branch also gained more space. From there, adding the matrix and the subsidiary, the company happened to have a total of 4,800 sqm of production area.

The subsidiary of Metalúrgica São José was installed in the industrial district and, consequently, there was a significant increase in production. Still in the same year, the matrix was expanded in 1,000 sqm.

From then on, the company gained a new trajectory. Investments were made in the manufacture of larger implements with greater added value to meet an increasingly demanding market.

The first CNC equipment was acquired by Metalúrgica São José. The entire production process of São José began to be computerized, based on the automation of machines and tools in the production stages.

Also, during this period, another professional was hired for sales in the state of Paraná, taking a step further in the expansion project of the company.

With the increase of the teams of work and to follow the advance of the company, it was necessary to computerize the offices and to apply advanced technology in the production lines.

This year, the fleet of trucks was also changed. At that time, the most modern models on the market were purchased.

An organizational plan was elaborated for production and logistics processes. This year, the company acquired the first truck, to start its own delivery process.

Thus, São José Metalúrgica started to cover the states of Santa Catarina and Paraná. In 2002 the first participation in the Rural Show was still made, an important event in Paraná. It was the beginning of expansion in national territory.

Investments did not stop there. In addition to the expansion of the company's technological framework, qualification and increase in the number of professionals, Metalúrgica São José expanded its physical structure once again.

In 2001, the company's headquarters gained 288 sqm of productive area and became a strong name in the production of agricultural implements of the region.

Three years later, the company went beyond. With the participation in the first Expodireto Cotrijal, Metalúrgica São José started attending the main agribusiness fairs in the state.

After this milestone, the company won new investments and started to have a greater recognition within the metallurgical industry of Rio Grande do Sul.

Over the years, the investments increased, and it was necessary to buy a land for the construction of the own factory. This space had a little more than 400 sqm of productive area.

This year, São José Metalúrgica started the production of small agricultural implements such as crushers, choppers and forage harvesters. In addition, more vendors were hired to serve the entire state.

With the increase in sales, Metalúrgica São José felt the need to expand its staff. This year, the company's first sales representative, Elemar Zart, was hired.

By bus, the employee traveled the cities of the northwest region and made visits. Elemar presented and sold products such as concrete pans, poles and bars through photographs.

Metalúrgica São José is born, a small enterprise in the municipality of São José do Inhacorá, northwest of Rio Grande do Sul. For years, this was the name that accompanied and recognized the company throughout the state.

In the beginning, the metallurgical idealized by Paulo Recktenwald, Geraldo Recktenwald and Rubim Schallenberger, only carried out small repairs, manufacture of grids and line of metalwork. The company space was a garage with little structure and number of tools.
