Viton

Equipamentos para Indústria Vidreira

The Company

Viton began its operations in 1958, producing replacement parts for the first I.S. machines utilized by Wheaton Brazil. Due to the increase in the use of these machines by other national glass companies, the demand for parts grew, generating the opportunity to transform Viton in one more business sector in the Wheaton Group.

In 1961, the first Viton glass container production machine - The VITON I.S. - was built. It was at that time that a growth and development cycle began for the company, which was then located in Jabaquara (a district of São Paulo).

Still in the 60´s, it began to export machine parts to all of Latin America. In the 70´s, besides consolidating its position in the national market selling complete production lines, it supplemented its exports commercializing machines and production line projects, also for Latin America.

In the 80´s, it began to reach other markets in Asia and, continuing its process of development, in the year 2000, it was transferred to new installations within the Group’s production zone in São Bernando do Campo (São Paulo), occupying an area of over 6,000m2 (64,000 sq. ft.) In a great effort to update its technology, it has installed, along with several conventional mechanically-operated machines, twenty CNC machines of various standards.

With the objective of offering its clients high-quality products at competitive prices and deadlines, and aiming to improve its products and services, Viton’s investment in research and development is a relevant aspect in its business strategy.
