A story of success
This March, Embrast celebrates 25 years since its founding in 2001, when Denisio do Nascimento took a decisive step and started his own business selling bags for immediate delivery.
What began simply has become an established company in the Brazilian market. Each stage brought challenges, lessons and achievements that helped shape Embrast as it is today.

Timeline
Embrast's story began in 2001, when Denisio do Nascimento, with help from his parents and colleagues, began selling bags for immediate delivery. He ran the operations himself as the company took its first steps.
Five years later, in 2006, came an important milestone: the first company-owned premises, a 1,200m² space in the Azambuja neighborhood. It represented both physical expansion and the growing strength of the business.
In 2010, Embrast began manufacturing its first products in its own factory. The first was aluminum foil under the Bompack brand, which was just beginning its journey.
The following year, in 2011, construction began on the site that now houses the administrative headquarters and factories, on the border between Brusque and Itajaí.
In 2013, growth continued with expansion to 15,000m² and the factory's first extension.
In 2015, Embrast celebrated a historic milestone: its first annual ACATS Award in the Household Goods category. Organized by the Santa Catarina Supermarket Association, the award recognizes outstanding companies in the state's sector. It was the first of nine awards Embrast would receive over the following years.
In 2018, the company expanded its premises again and launched three new brands: Simplus for cleaning products, Belpro for LED lighting, and Persomax for personal care.
In 2020, a new factory building increased production capacity and strengthened manufacturing operations.
More recently, in 2024, the company expanded its facilities again with a new warehouse offering 73,000 pallet positions.

Celebrating 25 years
Over 25 years, Embrast has grown, expanded and entered new markets. None of those achievements happened alone: every step was built by people who contributed their time, talent and purpose. To celebrate this journey, the Embrast 25 Years campaign recognizes the employees who have made it possible.
The idea behind the campaign
Embrast's anniversary campaign focuses on what truly drives the company. A company cannot operate without dedicated, focused employees. Training, recognition and appreciation help strengthen the team and build lasting success. As Denisio do Nascimento says: “Everyone leads their own story. […] We all have potential, and we need to bring it together to win the race of life!”
