Direct export to Latin America for decades
For over 82 years we have manufactured industrial pumps in Brazil — and for decades we have been bringing that engineering to Latin America. We serve 10 LATAM countries (Mexico, Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Peru, Ecuador, Venezuela, Uruguay, Paraguay and Bolivia) with gear (FBE/FBEI) and centrifugal (FBCN/FBOT) pumps engineered for the most critical fluids.
Our team is fluent in Portuguese, English and Spanish, knows the foreign trade requirements of each country, and offers engineering adapted to each market. This is why mining, sugar-ethanol, chemical and petrochemical industries in LATAM choose FB Bombas as a long-term partner.

Contact UsIndustrial pumps for La Paz: the technical context
Local profile, grid frequency, recommended series and export logistics — the four factors that define the right specification.
Industrial profile of La Paz
The productive park of La Paz (the capital and one of Bolivia's main industrial hubs) revolves around textiles, chemicals and commerce — sectors whose operations depend on reliable process and utility pumping. It is the demand profile the FB series cover from the factory, with case-by-case sizing by engineering.
Bolivia's grid: 50 Hz
Electric motors in Bolivia follow the 50 Hz grid — and that weighs more than it seems in selection: available speed sits at ~2,900/1,450 rpm (2/4 poles), shifting flow and head through the affinity laws. For the textiles services typical of La Paz, FB delivers the set already validated for the local frequency.
FB series for the local profile
For typical textiles operations in La Paz, engineering's initial recommendation is FBCN, FBE and FBOT. The exact model comes from the real duty point — fluid, viscosity at pumping temperature, flow and pressure — provided in the inquiry; sizing is free and the proposal specifies model, materials and sealing.
Export and logistics
Bolivia is a Mercosur member, which simplifies commercial documentation between the bloc's countries. The factory-to-destination reference distance is ~2,318 km in a straight line, and the logistics plan — modal, industrial packaging, insurance and Incoterm — accompanies every export proposal for La Paz.
Frequently asked questions — La Paz
Does FB Bombas export to La Paz?
Yes. FB Bombas exports directly from the factory in Cabreúva-SP (Brazil) to La Paz and other cities in Bolivia — Bolivia is a Mercosur member, which simplifies commercial documentation between the bloc's countries. The technical proposal includes Incoterm, packaging and export documentation.
Do the pumps work on Bolivia's 50 Hz grid?
They do, provided they are sized for it — which is exactly what the FB proposal does: motor selected for 50 Hz (~2,900/1,450 rpm at 2/4 poles) and curve recalculated for the local speed before the model is locked.
Is technical documentation available in Spanish?
Yes — Spanish and Portuguese are the working languages of FB technical material: catalogs, series specifications and the website. For export, the proposal documentation follows the language defined by the customer.
How does parts replacement work in Bolivia?
Replacement is factory-direct: seals, impellers, shafts and wear kits for all four series are manufactured in Cabreúva-SP and exported to Bolivia per the contract's logistics plan — a direct advantage of buying from the manufacturer.
Which series does FB recommend for textiles in La Paz?
For textiles, engineering starts from FBCN, FBE and FBOT and locks the model with four circuit data points: fluid, viscosity at pumping temperature, flow and pressure. The study is free of charge and the response specifies model, materials and sealing.
Complete systems ready for any Latin American country
We don't just export pumps. We deliver skids, mobile units and assembled systems with control panel, ready for installation. Every project is sized for the customer's actual application — regardless of destination country.
