Based in Alsip, Ill., USA, the company said the new plant is part of an effort to more efficiently connect its international customers with its products by manufacturing locally and providing more direct technical support.  

“Brazil’s already large and growing industrial sector and the concentration of multi-national automotive, heavy-equipment and industrial OEMs, together with the unique challenges that Brazil’s climate presents, makes this a market where Daubert can provide significant value. We can now provide our specialized products and services seamlessly and effectively to metal fabricators and producers in Brazil and throughout South America,” said Daubert Cromwell president and chief executive Martin J. Simpson in a statement. 

Daubert do Brasil Ltda. is based in Limeira, Sao Paulo. It manufactures and sells the Daubert Cromwell’s complete line of proprietary corrosion-inhibitor packaging and rust-preventive liquids.    

The facility is led by Jose Carlos Botecchi, a veteran manufacturing executive with a background in volatile corrosion inhibitor technology. He is overseeing all technical and manufacturing aspects of the operation.
