Techduto History
For over 40 years in the market, Techduto Solutions is a national reference in manufacturing HDPE corrugated pipes for agricultural drainage, cable protection and infrastructure. An engineering born on the factory floor that grew into a multinational platform — with units in SP, PE and MT, and a presence in more than 85 countries through its partnership with the Brandt Group.
When Saulo Frossard Realized That There Were No Brazilian Extruders for the Quality Standard He Wanted, He Himself Designed and Assembled the First Line. What Began with PEAD Recycling and Smooth Hoses Evolved into the First Corrugator Manufactured in Brazil in 1986 and the Patent for the Line of Conduits for Civil Construction in 1989 — Present in Absolutely All Buildings in the Country Today. Process Technology Already in Techduto's DNA.

With the Real Plan in 1994, the market changed. The environment required more than survival: it required capital and industrial intelligence. Techduto entered new markets — telecommunications, automotive, white goods, hospital. In 1998, over 300 machine sets were sold to Brazil, Argentina and Lebanon. In 2003, we launched the first national line of PPR pipes, gradually replacing copper pipes in the country.

Everything that previously existed as accumulated expertise began to take the shape of a system. The repositioning of the Petech brand to Techduto unified decades of technology under a strong identity. In 2011, FINEP selected Techduto as the technology-based company with the greatest growth potential in the country. The expansion into the Northeast — the Recife factory (2012) and the Petrolina Distribution Center — broadened its territory, speed and commercial reach.

The strategic purpose is clear: to develop efficient solutions for total water control. Techduto has become the leading supplier to the largest solar park builders in Brazil — with more than 1.7 million meters of conduit for the largest photovoltaic plant in Latin America. In 2024, the Primavera do Leste-MT unit brought production closer to farmers in the Midwest. In 2025, the partnership with the Brandt Group — present in over 85 countries — consolidated Techduto as a multinational platform of Brazilian origin.
