OUR HISTORY

Santa Luzia, renowned nationally and internationally for excellence in profile and covering design, is the largest polystyrene recycler in Latin America.

Since starting our recycling operations in 2002, we have transformed over 87,000 tons of polystyrene (Styrofoam®), our primary raw material, into high-quality products.

As a result, 96% of our products contain recycled materials. See below how we evolved from a small mirror factory to become a leading profile and covering supplier in Brazil while making the world a better place.

1942

In 1942, in the city of Braço do Norte (SC), a small industry was born, called Espelhos Santa Luzia — named after the patron saint of vision — the result of the dedicated work of Mr. João Effting.

Following in his father’s footsteps, his eldest son, Heriberto Effting, also joined the company with an entrepreneurial and innovative vision.

Starting in 1996, the company expanded its presence in the Brazilian market and changed its legal name to Indústria e Comércio de Molduras Santa Luzia Ltda.

This change allowed for the production and sale of decorative profiles, serving the construction, architecture, and decoration markets, as well as the furniture and wooden frame industries.

2002

Pioneering and Revolution in the Industry

For over 60 years, the company exclusively used wood as its raw material, but in 2002, Santa Luzia took a leap forward.

That year, the entire production process was revolutionized, and the company became the first in the industry to implement and master EPS recycling technology, also known as Styrofoam or polystyrene.

In addition to radically changing our raw material sources, we expanded our product line and now offer a diversified portfolio to meet market demands.

We are present in:

  • 3 continents
  • 9 countries
  • Over 4,000 sales points
  • Over 400 cities in Brazil
  • All home centers in the country
  • Over 87 million kilograms of recycled EPS (Styrofoam®)

As a result, we are constantly seeking solutions that contribute to the environment and society, creating and developing high-quality products.”

Public Policy – Santa Luzia

Santa Luzia began its operations in 1942, in the city of Braço do Norte (SC), with a focus on mirror production. Starting in 1996, the company expanded its presence in the Brazilian market and changed its legal name to Indústria e Comércio de Molduras Santa Luzia Ltda.

For over 60 years, the company exclusively used wood as its raw material. However, in 2002, the company took a significant step forward. During that year, the entire production process was revolutionized, and the company became the first in the industry to implement and master EPS recycling technology, also known as Styrofoam or polystyrene. In addition to radically changing the sources of raw materials, we expanded our product line and now offer a diversified portfolio to meet market demands.

Santa Luzia is committed to complying with labor legislation, as well as all applicable and current conventions according to the International Labor Organization (ILO). This includes a prohibition on hiring individuals below the minimum permissible age, which is 16 years, with the exception of the hiring of individuals aged 14 or older in the capacity of Young Apprentices. We also strictly prohibit all forms of forced labor or slavery-like practices and strongly oppose any form or degree of discrimination within the company.
