How Sensio began
A company built by people who grew up inside manufacturing and felt first-hand the lack of a system made for it.
We have always been tied to the industrial world. Renata and I, Luiz, Sensio's two partners, are siblings born into a family of manufacturers: our father ran a furniture factory and our mother a cushion workshop.
I literally crawled on the factory floor. I always loved following my father to work, among the machines, which is why I chose mechatronics engineering, to bring my two passions together: manufacturing and technology.
After graduating in São Paulo, I went back to inland Minas Gerais to help at my father's factory. For three years I did a bit of everything, from driving forklifts to designing new furniture.
As plant manager, I realised the biggest obstacle to running things better was our tools: our system simply couldn't give me the information I needed. Knowing where an order stood in production, or how much we had invoiced that month, was always a struggle.
Looking at the market, I saw there were no tools truly focused on manufacturing that small and mid-sized companies could afford.
“Still inside that factory, I wrote the first lines of code of what became Sensio: the manufacturing management system I wish I'd had as a plant manager.”
Renata joined to build the commercial side and we haven't stopped growing since. Today we are a team of engineers, developers and specialists simplifying the routine of more than 300 manufacturers across Brazil.
We received investment from Grupo Christal, a Brazilian industrial group with over 50 years of experience that saw Sensio as a partner for the technological development of manufacturing.
Our mission, to make manufacturers smarter and more efficient, is only getting started. Thank you to every teammate, customer and friend who is part of this journey. Onwards.

Make manufacturers smarter and more efficient.
Manufacturing people, close to those who make things.
The agility of a startup, the strength of an industrial group.
Sensio is part of Grupo Christal, an industrial holding from Timbó (SC) with more than 50 years of history, which invested in the company in 2024 to speed up the product and double the development team.
Real manufacturing stands behind the software: group companies such as Movai run their own operations on Sensio.
