Peruvian manufacturer of buses, generators, and diesel engines with regional service network
MODASA is a 1,000+ person manufacturing operation in Lima building buses, generator sets, and diesel powertrains for Andean transport and energy markets. The tech stack—SAP, Power BI, AutoCAD, Solidworks—reflects a traditional manufacturing footprint with enterprise resource planning at its core. Current hiring skews heavily toward manufacturing (35% of active roles) and engineering (24%), signaling capacity expansion; projects spanning e-commerce channels, maintenance analytics, and production cost reduction indicate a push to digitalize downstream services and tighten shop-floor operations.
MODASA was established in 1977 as a state-backed joint venture with AB Volvo and Perkins Engines to manufacture diesel motors for the Andean region. The company is now fully Peruvian-owned (after Volvo exited in 1994 and Perkins in 2005), though MODASA retains exclusive Perkins representation in Peru. The company operates a 30,000 m² facility in Ate district with vertically integrated manufacturing of bus bodies, generator sets, and diesel engine components, plus two service workshops for maintenance and repair. Business lines include equipment rental and aftermarket parts sales. The organization spans manufacturing, engineering, sales, operations, logistics, design, quality, and security functions.
AutoCAD, Solidworks, and Inventor for CAD/design workflows; SAP for enterprise resource planning; Power BI for reporting and analytics; Excel for general operations.
