SELCO was founded at more than 20 years ago. Its activities started with manufacturing sealing components to equip reciprocating compressors, be it to feed the original equipment manufacturer production line or else as replacements to service compressors in use. Even back then SELCO products were already equiping largest size compressors, among which best known international brands. In 1989 the company started manufacturing Reciprocating Compressor Valves (suction and discharge). By 1992, in view knowledge accumulated along the years in the area of surface finish work, it invested in its production line of precision flat parts to attend the automotive industry. The success in this activity was such that by 1994 SELCO started exporting automotive parts to countries as the USA, Europe, and China, whereby this industrial segment quickly came to represent a greater portion of the company business. In the year 2000 SELCO acquired additional valve technology from a retired traditional German family, ex-owners of a company which had been dedicated to compressor valve manufacturing for more than a century. This acquisition added new dimensions to its already vast knowledge, particularly in valve design capabilities. By the year 2002 the company increased production facilities occupying an area of 3,000 m2, it now aiming to attend the compressor valves growth taking place in the national and international market. The idea was to expand its valve sales horizons towards the United States of América, Europe, and South America. |
