Metisa Metalurgica Timboense

With 65 years, METISA´s most valuable asset is its experience in providing its customers with quality products and a wide range of parts for agricultural equipment, parts for tractors, cutting blades for stones, parts for roadway equipment, parts for railway equipment, hand tools and washers, always with the most updated technology.

METISA is constantly committed with each customer’s requirements, and is ready to meet them by delivering the best possible product.

The Company’s headquarters currently consist of 240,000 square meters with over 36.000 square meters of buildings. Its manufacturing plant has approximately 1100 employees, processes over 80.000 tons of steel per year, and exports its production to about 40 countries.

METISA Highlights
All plough discs are manufactured in compliance with the specifications of the Brazilian ABNT standards.

METISA develops and establishes the chemical composition requirements for its products and maintains stringent controls on the steel materials it purchases in order to manufacture products with optimal and consistent quality. Therefore, raw materials with optimal chemical compositions are procured by taking into account a longer life for the products provided they will be used in the intended applications. As a result, METISA assures the quality of all purchased steel materials both, by means of chemical composition analysis with spectrometer upon receipt of goods, and also by means of analysis certificates provided by the steel plants. In addition, the steel is released for further processing in the factory only after its chemical composition is properly approved.

A number of transforming processes are applied to the steel, using proper technologies, before a finished product is ready. Among those processes, there is the heat treatment, which consists of heating the parts and then cooling them down at controlled temperatures to give them increased mechanical resistance. In this heat treatment, METISA applies specific heating temperatures and cooling means. The effectiveness of such processes is checked by means of metallographic analysis and hardness essays in METISA´s own physical-chemical laboratory.

Another of METISA´s differentials is the exclusive tracing system applied to its products. During production, each piece is stamped in low relief with a batch number, while as a counter party a document called “Production Order” is generated with the same number, which contains batch data, including dimensional measurements, chemical composition, etc. This tracing system provides a historical document of the product. Every production order remains filed for reference after the goods are shipped.

As a recent innovation, METISA has created a Customer Call Center in order to provide the customers with full technical information about the products and their applications. This has been another step forward to assure customer’s full satisfaction.

METISA assures its position as a worldwide supplier by continuously investing on its manufacturing plant, human resources, processing technologies and modern management methods.

As an effort to become worldwide recognized as a reliable supplier, METISA has implemented and has been certified with the ISO 9002/94 and ISO 9001/2000 quality assurance standards (Certified by BRTÜV).
