Sulzer to supply key equipment for Inpasa's Brazil expansion

Sulzer has been selected by Inpasa, a leading bioenergy producer in Latin America, as the primary equipment supplier of process pumps and agitators for its latest phase of industrial expansion in Brazil. Inpasa is building new biofuel production plants and extensively upgrading its existing facilities. Its products are used across a range of industries including transportation, animal feed, pharmaceuticals, food and chemicals.

With ongoing investments in the facilities exceeding CHF 360 million, the agreement covers the delivery of more than 600 pieces of equipment, which will be installed across ethanol, DDGS (Distiller's Dried Grains with Solubles), corn oil and renewable energy production facilities starting in H1 2026. The heavy-duty industrial equipment will be used to process the raw materials used to produce renewable products. By 2027, the new facilities are expected to expand Inpasa’s total processing capacity to 16 million tonnes per year.

Sulzer’s advanced equipment is engineered for high reliability, low energy consumption and optimized performance in continuous operations. These features contribute directly to lower operating costs, increased plant availability and a reduced environmental footprint — key priorities for Inpasa as it scales its sustainable energy production.

“This agreement strengthens the strategic partnership between Sulzer and Inpasa,” said Mathias Pruessing, Division President Flow at Sulzer. “We’re proud to support Inpasa in this journey of growth and innovation in the bioenergy sector, accelerating Brazil’s energy transition and reducing fossil fuel emissions.”

Renato Teixeira, Inpasa’s Communication and marketing Director, said: “This collaboration marks a significant milestone in our commitment to operational excellence and sustainability. Sulzer’s technology will play a vital role in helping us strengthen Brazil’s renewable energy infrastructure to meet our production goals while advancing our environmental objectives.”
