The company
Ciser is one of the companies that make up the H. Carlos Schneider Group. The history of the Group begins with the foundation of Casa do Aço in 1881. The small business sold imported products and exported native products, especially honey, fruit and dried flowers.
Subsequently, the Company began the manufacture of screws and nuts. The acceptance of the products and the pace of growth of the national market stimulated the creation of an independent company, Cia. Industrial H. Carlos Schneider, later named Ciser.
After years of history and a long journey, Ciser has established itself as the largest fastener manufacturer in Latin America. Its portfolio currently has more than 27,000 products, grouped into more than 500 lines, to serve customers in more than 25 countries.
Ciser's solutions are applied in several segments, such as metalworking, civil construction, metal structures, electrical hardware, agribusiness, automotive, white and brown lines, oil and gas, electronics, rail, furniture, retail and wholesale.
With efficient logistics, Ciser has great capacity for product storage, offering excellent service, with its own carrier and cargo routing service to shorten the deadline for deliveries. Another strategy aimed at improving the service is the School of Manufacturing, which qualifies employees with technical courses and academic training.
