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 Medellín
With an economy built on textiles, construction and technology, Medellín — 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
A technical detail that changes selection in Colombia: the local grid runs at 60 Hz, which puts 2- and 4-pole induction motors at about 3,500 and 1,750 rpm. Since FB catalog curves are tested at 1,750 rpm (60 Hz), engineering recalculates flow and head through the affinity laws before locking the model — a step that prevents off-duty pumps in export projects.
FB series for the local profile
For typical textiles operations in Medellín, 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
The export proposal for Medellín settles the three logistics variables at once — Incoterm, modal and schedule — over the reference distance of ~4,510 km in a straight line from Cabreúva-SP. Worth noting: Colombia is a Mercosur associate state, with economic complementation agreements supporting trade with Brazil.
Frequently asked questions — Medellín
Does FB Bombas export to Medellín?
Yes. FB Bombas exports directly from the factory in Cabreúva-SP (Brazil) to Medellín and other cities in Colombia — Colombia is a Mercosur associate state, with economic complementation agreements supporting trade with Brazil. The technical proposal includes Incoterm, packaging and export documentation.
Do the pumps work on Colombia's 60 Hz grid?
That check is part of sizing: speed at 60 Hz (~3,500/1,750 rpm at 2/4 poles) shifts the pump curve, and FB engineering adjusts impeller and motor so the duty point lands where the project needs it.
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 textiles in Medellín?
FBCN, FBE and FBOT — that is the initial recommendation for textiles in Medellín. The exact model, materials and sealing come from the free sizing study FB engineering runs on the circuit's real duty point.
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.
