Brazil is a global leader when it comes to sugarcane. Our production not only supplies the domestic market but also ensures a strong presence in several countries. The power of sugarcane that crosses borders highlights the strategic importance of the sugar and ethanol sector — and how partner companies like Ottani help maintain this leadership year after year.
Brazil’s Weight in the Global Market
The Brazilian sugar and ethanol industry goes far beyond agriculture: it drives local economies, creates jobs, and attracts continuous investment. More than a product, sugarcane represents a powerful engine for the economy, reinforcing Brazil’s image as an international benchmark in this field.
Each harvest season, mills and industries mobilize to meet a demand that extends across borders, showing that the strength of sugarcane is directly linked to the country’s ability to innovate, invest, and ensure increasingly efficient processes.
Mills: The Heart of the Operation
Sugar and ethanol mills are regional engines that operate in defined crop and off-season cycles. During the crushing period, the entire industrial structure must be ready to run without interruption. Every minute of downtime means loss of production and competitiveness in the global market. For this reason, the sector requires reliable industrial equipment designed to withstand high pressures, extreme temperatures, and abrasive materials.
It is in this scenario that Ottani stands out. With more than 40 years of experience, the company supplies tanks, pressure vessels, heat exchangers, cyclones, centrifuges, and sugar dryers. All equipment is developed to ensure durability, safety, and high performance in critical processes.
Ottani’s Contribution to the Sugar and Ethanol Sector
Founded in Piracicaba, São Paulo, in 1985, Ottani has built a solid history supplying industrial solutions to strategic sectors, especially sugar and ethanol. Its 70,000 m² infrastructure includes a structured boiler shop and modern facilities for stainless and carbon steel, ensuring production capacity and flexibility to meet the most demanding requirements.
For mills, reliability goes beyond the equipment itself — it also means complete documentation for audits, full material traceability, and non-destructive tests (LP, PM, RX, US) that guarantee the integrity of each component. This commitment to quality is reinforced by certifications such as ISO 9001:2015, which validate the company’s credibility.
Sustainability and the Future
The sugar and ethanol sector also plays a central role in discussions on clean energy. Beyond sugar and ethanol production, there is growing interest in using sugarcane residues to generate biogas and biomethane. This trend connects industrial efficiency with sustainability, reducing emissions and creating new revenue opportunities for mills.
Ottani supports this transformation by providing equipment applicable to biogas projects — such as tanks, digesters, pressure vessels, and heat exchangers. In doing so, it reinforces its commitment to supporting not only the immediate productivity of mills but also their evolution toward sustainable and long-term business models.
The Power of Sugarcane That Crosses Borders
Sugarcane connects different cultures and markets around the world. Its impact goes beyond national borders, standing as a symbol of Brazil’s productive strength and international integration capacity. This competitiveness is sustained by suppliers who understand the sector’s challenges and deliver solutions that meet its high standards.
Ottani is proud to be part of this ecosystem — ensuring that every piece of equipment is ready to face the challenges of the harvest season, with reliability and quality that cross borders.
