Embrasa, with over 50 years of tradition and a national benchmark in packaging solutions, announces the acquisition of Tech Bag, a newly inaugurated FIBC Bulk Bag manufacturer in Riachão do JacuÃpe (BA). The transaction marks an important strategic expansion move by Embrasa in the Northeast and North regions of Brazil, strengthening its portfolio and production capacity at a time when the market faces significant challenges.
While various companies in the sector are contracting and reducing production, Embrasa continues to accelerate its investments, demonstrating confidence in its strength, its partnerships, its clients and the opportunities in the Brazilian market.
Inaugurated in September 2025, Tech Bag has installed capacity to produce 3.24 million units per year of specialty FIBC Bulk Bags made of polypropylene (WPP raffia) — products designed and manufactured according to technical applications or specific client requirements, offering superior performance in protection, handling or preservation. The manufacturing unit, the result of a partnership with the Government of the State of Bahia and the Municipality of Riachão do JacuÃpe, already generates more than 150 direct jobs and serves the flour, bran, fertilizer, sugar, seed, animal feed, mining and cement segments.
With this acquisition, Embrasa significantly expands its geographic presence and reinforces its capacity to meet customized demands. This move reinforces the bold and entrepreneurial spirit the company has carried since its founding in 1973 by Ricardo Vivolo, current Chairman of the Board. The project foresees expansions and new investments in upcoming development phases, with prospects for generating over 1,000 jobs, stimulating the regional economy across various sectors.
CEO Statement
Marcelo Vivolo, CEO of Embrasa, comments on the acquisition:
“The incorporation of Tech Bag into the Embrasa Group represents a fundamental strategic step in our growth plan and directly supports our vision of consolidating ourselves as the largest and best woven polypropylene sack and FIBC Bulk Bag company in Latin America. This acquisition brings us greater availability, greater flexibility and significantly expands our expertise in specialty bags, allowing us to be closer to our clients in the Northeast and North regions with customized solutions and logistical agility.”
The CEO of Embrasa also highlights the arrival of Leandro Miranda as a partner of the Embrasa Group:
“We are very pleased to welcome Leandro Miranda as a partner. With decades of experience in the market, founder of Tech Bag and PraCafé, and a great connoisseur of the specialty bag segment, Leandro brings valuable expertise that further strengthens our capacity for innovation and differentiated service. More than expanding our production capacity, we are investing in regional development and in generating employment and income for Bahia, reaffirming our commitment to the country’s growth even in challenging times.”
Leandro Miranda, founder of Tech Bag and PraCafé, who joins the Embrasa shareholder structure, highlights:
“It is an honor to be part of a brand with 53 years of history and such market respect. Tech Bag was born with the purpose of bringing differentiated solutions to the FIBC Bulk Bag market, especially in specialty products that meet the specific technical needs of each client. Now, together with Embrasa, we will be able to significantly accelerate our growth and realize all the plans we have drawn up for this unit. The synergy between the two companies is natural: we share the same values of operational excellence and client commitment. This partnership will allow us to expand our product offering, invest in new capabilities and continue generating opportunities for the region.”
About the Operation
Tech Bag maintains its operations in Riachão do JacuÃpe and preserves its workforce. Integration will be conducted in an agile manner, stimulating the development of the unit and new business. The unit is expected to become known as Embrasa Nordeste in the coming months.
For clients, suppliers and commercial partners, the operation represents immediate gains in terms of service capacity, product diversification and supply chain strengthening.
