Forbal Automotive, a manufacturer from Flores da Cunha (RS) specializing in parts and components for the road, agricultural, and automotive sectors, is among the companies recognized at the 2026 RS Export Award. This is the eighth time the company has won the award, reinforcing the brand’s advancement in the international market and consolidating a growth trajectory sustained by innovation, industrial structure, and strategic expansion.

Among its main export destinations are Chile, Argentina, Peru, Mexico, and Bolivia. The most significant results were recorded in Peru, with an 830.42% growth in export revenue. In Argentina, the increase was 330.97%, while Chile showed a 36.24% rise.

With an industrial structure geared toward high performance, Forbal combines processes such as forging, machining, thermoforming, welding, stamping, sheet metal cutting and bending, tube forming, laser cutting, and electrostatic powder coating. The company also develops special solutions tailored to each customer’s needs.

The internationalization strategy also gained momentum with the opening of its North American unit, officialized in early 2025. This physical presence in the United States, combined with local stock availability, strengthens service to the North American and Mexican markets, enhancing delivery agility and customer proximity.

The RS Export Award recognizes companies that stand out for their export performance and contribution to strengthening the economy of Rio Grande do Sul in the international market. For Forbal, this recognition represents not only export growth but the consolidation of a path built through investment, innovation, relationships, and a long-term vision in the global market.
