Introduction

The name Cachapuz is 4 centuries-old (its name dates to 1694, there are documents to support this), having started its activity as ‘Casa do Antigo Cachapuz’ [House of the Old Cachapuz], a reference to that ancestry, dedicated to the sale of ‘cutlery, weapons and scales’ and a ‘bold’ venture in goods import! It initiated its industrial activity in 1920, building wooden decimal scales, and in 1934, it constructed its first weighbridge.

Throughout its almost 100 years of history as a weighing equipment manufacturer, it has been a product and process innovator, and a decisive and disruptive contributor to the progress of the weighing sector.

As a brand that creates cutting-edge integrated systems that optimise all logistics processes involving weighing, Cachapuz’s purpose is to become a facilitator of each customer’s business, adding value as experts in the weighing and logistics area.

In 2011 the process, which had started in 1997, is concluded: the total acquisition of the capital of Cachapuz, by one of the world’s largest groups dedicated to weighing, the Italian group Bilanciai.

Cachapuz’s integrated weighing systems are part of the operation of logistic weighing processes on 5 continents. They are internationally proven solutions that reflect an ability to adapt to specific geographic, cultural, community and operating styles to understand, create and adapt the best possible offer.
