Brazilian based Embraco, manfacturer of compressors for the refrigeration industry since 1971, has built its reputation as one of the global leaders in the hermetic compressor market with production based in all continents and a capacity of almost 38 million per year. The development of natural refrigerant solutions, particularly hydrocarbon compressors, is a substantial part of company’s portfolio. Hydrocarbons21.com is proud to welcome Embraco as their newest Gold Partner.
Embraco is a company specialised in cooling solutions for more than 40 years, providing innovative solutions whilst keeping technological excellence and sustainability at the heart of their processes. The development of natural refrigerant based technologies represent an important investment priority of the company. Embraco has been manufacturing hydrocarbon compressors for commercial and household applications for two decades.
A brief history of Embraco
Embraco, based in Joinville (SC), Brazil, began manufacturing compressors in 1971. At that time the Brazilian refrigeration market relied fully on imported compressors, which gave way to a great opportunity for Embraco to grow. A decade later Embraco was already known as a reliable partner in the Brazilian refrigeration market, exporting its production to five continents. In the late 1980’s, Embraco initiated the process of opening production bases outside of Brazil and the consequent expansion of its global sales, consolidating its global leadership. Today Embraco’s products are distributed to over 80 countries.

With manufacturing facilities located in Brazil, Italy, China, Slovakia and Mexico, besides its range of compressors, Embraco also produces electrical components, cast iron and complete cooling systems for domestic and commercial use.
As a global industry and a technological leader, Embraco has the duty to promote sustainable business, ethical behaviour and environmentally safe solutions. We also need to help our customers in the adoption of hydrocarbons, as we strongly believe they are the best solution in terms of efficiency improvement and GWP reduction in applications of our segment," said Anita Costamagna, Europe Marketing Manager.
