Brazil’s Trusted Industry’s Partner in Explosion-Proof Solutions

October 3, 2014

Dr. Ralf Köster, CEO of the BARTEC Group, highlighted the success of the company’s transition from a component seller to a solutions provider: “We are now solving problems. If a customer comes to us with their explosive hazardous issues, we fix it entirely for them. That's the extra step that BARTEC took before any other competitors.”

With a new office in São Paulo and a representative office in Rio de Janeiro, BARTEC looks forward to expanding both its sales and engineering teams in Brazil, and is quickly responding to Brazil’s demand for process automation, heating technology, and products and services in monitoring and mobile communication technology in the oil and gas industry. BARTEC, who’s diversified customer base includes Petrobras, has grown from its German origins to a highly globalized company of more than 1,600 employees with specialized teams in over sixty countries.

The company’s emphasis on research and development has led to unique innovations, such as its Impact X, the first high-end android smart phone for use in hazardous areas, the latest addition to the comprehensive product portfolio and an essential part of the BARTEC strategy to ‘go mobile’. The target is to lead the way and release a range of smart phones, tablet PCs and accessories that provide customers with novel possibilities to enhance productivity and streamline efficiency in hazardous areas.

As BARTEC’s clients require a high-tech, high-quality product, most of its technologies are produced in its best practice manufacturing sites. “We believe that explosion protection is about trust. Safety means that you have to trust your partners, you have to trust their solutions, and our technologies and full-solutions have built strong trust with all of our clients,” stated Dr. Köster.
