Petroleum coke processing and distribution across steel, aluminum, and foundry sectors
Grupo Unimetal processes and distributes petroleum coke derivatives across Brazil's industrial base—steel mills, aluminum smelters, foundries, and ferro-alloy producers. The hiring acceleration (46 roles in 30 days) is concentrated in manufacturing and engineering, paired with active ERP system work (Protheus implementation, architecture redesign) and equipment acquisition projects. Adoption of OpenAI and Azure signals early moves toward data-driven operations, while persistent pain points around inventory accuracy, system anomalies, and ERP reliability suggest the company is mid-transformation from legacy enterprise infrastructure.
Grupo Unimetal, founded in 1984, specializes in processing petroleum coke and related carbonaceous materials. Headquartered in Sorocaba, São Paulo, the company operates multiple production and distribution centers across Brazil—including facilities in Cosmópolis, Vespasiano (Minas Gerais), and São Vicente—alongside subsidiary operations in calcined coke production (Petrocoque S.A.) and green coke handling (Brasil Carbonos). With 1,001–5,000 employees, the company serves steelworks, aluminum refineries, foundries, and ferro-alloy manufacturers. Current focus is on system modernization (Protheus ERP) and equipment infrastructure upgrades to address inventory and production-downtime challenges.
Protheus (TOTVS), which the company is actively implementing and redesigning. They also use SAP and Oracle alongside legacy systems.
