Brazil is still building universal access to treated water and reliable energy. Etesco has worked on this front since 1956. A genuinely Brazilian company that shaped its trajectory across two complementary fronts: water infrastructure and oil and gas operations.
Etesco is founded in São Paulo. Genuinely Brazilian from day one, it becomes one of the country's most traditional contractors over the following decades.
Onshore drilling operations begin, marking Etesco's entry into the oil and gas market.
Operations expand offshore with dynamic positioning rigs and semi-submersible platforms, and abroad to eight countries: United States, Netherlands, China, South Korea, Singapore, Costa Rica, Paraguay and Nigeria.
FPSO Cidade do Rio de Janeiro (100,000 bpd) and FSO Cidade de Macaé (2.2 million barrels of storage) enter operation.
Flotel Etesco Millennium begins operating for Petrobras, accommodating up to 270 people in offshore support.
A new generation of dynamic positioning rigs continues the trajectory: Peregrine I, Aban Abraham and today's Etesco Takatsugu J, capable of operating in 3,000-meter water depths.
The water infrastructure front applies the Shield method on a pipeline installation project, reinforcing Etesco's technical presence beyond the sea.
Water network management contracts serve more than two million people, while offshore operations remain active in drilling and well decommissioning.
Operating critical infrastructure requires more than technical capacity. It requires a stated commitment to what is built, and to the impact it generates for those who depend on that infrastructure every day.
Operate in the infrastructure and technology markets, investing in innovation, safety and sustainability, integrating our activities within the circular economy.
The circular economy will define the challenge of future generations, with an emphasis on technological development and practical actions for sustainability and biodiversity conservation, integrated into the business of successful companies in this decade.
This mission guides concrete technical choices: methods like trenchless (MND) and PipeBursting, which replace networks without opening trenches or interrupting city life, and water loss management that prevents the waste of an already treated resource.
It is the last value, trust in people and partners, that sustains decade-long relationships with operators like Sabesp, Petrobras and Sanepar. Partnerships built over a trajectory, not a single contract.
Long before the term circular economy entered public debate, the work of reducing water losses and recovering existing networks already followed that logic: treating water not as something to use and discard, but as a resource to recover and keep in circulation.
That reasoning sustains Etesco's stated mission. Bringing the company's activities into the circular economy is not an abstract goal. It is the natural extension of decades of work in loss control, infrastructure recovery and responsible water resource management.
Genuinely Brazilian since 1956.
70 years building the Brazil that works.
