Export
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.

Local profile, grid frequency, recommended series and export logistics — the four factors that define the right specification.
Industrial profile of Cartagena
With an economy built on petrochemicals, port operations and tourism, Cartagena — one of Colombia's relevant industrial hubs — concentrates pumping services ranging from viscous process fluids to water and utilities. FB Bombas serves this spectrum with in-house manufacturing in Brazil and application engineering dedicated to export.
Colombia's grid: 60 Hz
Electric motors in Colombia follow the 60 Hz grid — and that weighs more than it seems in selection: available speed sits at ~3,500/1,750 rpm (2/4 poles), shifting flow and head through the affinity laws. For the petrochemicals services typical of Cartagena, FB delivers the set already validated for the local frequency.
FB series for the local profile
Given the petrochemicals, port operations and tourism profile, the technical starting point in Cartagena is FBCN, FBE and FBOT. The FBE (external gear, API 676 compliance) covers viscous process fluids — oils, resins, derivatives — with stable flow and operation up to 350 °C; the FBCN (standardized centrifugal, ASME B73.1 compliance) handles water, utilities and light fluids. For thermal oil circuits — common in textile, timber and chemical sectors — the dedicated FBOT series operates up to 350 °C.
Export and logistics
Colombia is a Mercosur associate state, with economic complementation agreements supporting trade with Brazil. The factory-to-destination reference distance is ~4,853 km in a straight line, and the logistics plan — modal, industrial packaging, insurance and Incoterm — accompanies every export proposal for Cartagena.
Frequently asked questions — Cartagena
Does FB Bombas export to Cartagena?
It does — with direct factory supply to Colombia. For Cartagena, the proposal defines modal, Incoterm and schedule; Colombia is a Mercosur associate state, with economic complementation agreements supporting trade with Brazil.
Do the pumps work on Colombia's 60 Hz grid?
They do, provided they are sized for it — which is exactly what the FB proposal does: motor selected for 60 Hz (~3,500/1,750 rpm at 2/4 poles) and curve recalculated for the local speed before the model is locked.
Is technical documentation available in Spanish?
Yes. Catalogs, series specifications and the FB Bombas website are available in Spanish and Portuguese — and the export technical proposal ships with documentation in the project language.
How does parts replacement work in Colombia?
Parts for the FBE, FBEI, FBCN and FBOT series ship from the same factory that builds the pumps, in Cabreúva-SP, and follow the proposal's export flow — no third-party dependency for critical items such as seals, impellers and wear kits.
Which series does FB recommend for petrochemicals in Cartagena?
For petrochemicals, 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.
