IGBD is an American company with offices in Brazil and focused on selling equipment and parts for the drilling and production market. We sell via the USA (with the possibility of shipping to airports and ports in Brazil) and through Brazil with material already cleared and invoice issued. Our differential is that we can offer our customers not only OEM products, but also interchangeable products from certified suppliers that are fully compatible with the main manufacturers. Our suppliers are all tested in the American O&G market.
Learn about our company’s history, mission, vision and values. IGBD was founded in mid-2014 to supply the Brazilian onshore Oil & Gas market, which lacked new, quality equipment at competitive prices. With the growing focus of suppliers on the offshore market, which has turned its attention to the pre-salt because it has higher demands for more complex, value-added equipment, the onshore sector began to suffer from high costs and a lack of options.
In this scenario, the founders of IGBD, former employees of companies such as Cameron, Newpark Drilling, Transocean, Valaris and National Oil Varco (NOV), aimed to serve the onshore market by bringing in more competitively priced parts and equipment from manufacturers in the USA, where onshore activity is well-established and known for manufacturing high-quality equipment.
Already established in the onshore market, Innova began negotiating with manufacturers and suppliers of parts and equipment for the offshore market, developing new clients and partnerships. The company currently serves onshore and offshore markets, supplying equipment, parts, and consumables mainly from the USA and Europe.
To be recognized by the market for operational excellence, contributing to the sustainable development of the oil and gas product chain and being the best alternative in the sector for clients.
Focus on meeting the demand for services and equipment in the Oil & Gas market, delivering excellence in the development of commercial relationships, generating returns for shareholders, partners, clients and their professionals.
