A new father, an urgent need, and the courage to start from scratch. Joserli Perez Kapazi began by waterproofing fabrics and upholstery—and planted the seed of what would become Latin America's largest carpet industry.
Only two years after its founding, Kapazi is already crossing borders. The first branch opens in Rio Grande do Sul — proof that the business was solid enough to grow beyond Curitiba.
The expansion continues. Florianópolis welcomes Kapazi's second branch — solidifying its presence in the South of Brazil and showing that the growth was not by chance, it was strategy.
It's time to have a real address. The Santa Felicidade warehouse in Curitiba marks Kapazi's first major physical structure — the space that transformed a mobile business into an operation with roots.
Those who used to sell door-to-door now have their own door. The inauguration of the store on Rua Desembargador Motta marks a symbolic moment: Kapazi is no longer a promise and becomes a destination.
The dream that began with an overhead projector is finally taking shape on the factory floor. Kapazi's first proprietary industrial plant is inaugurated in Mairiporã, São Paulo — a milestone that transforms the founder from a merchant into an industrialist.
More than 40,000 square meters. In Almirante Tamandaré, Paraná, Kapazi's new home is being built — an industrial plant that not only expands production but also consolidates the company as the largest in the sector in Latin America.
The South produced, the Northeast confirms. The new industrial unit in Marechal Deodoro, Alagoas, takes Kapazi to a truly national scale—and announces that the story still has many chapters ahead.
The Northeast was not just a branch. In 2024, the Marechal Deodoro unit, Alagoas, takes a leap forward: it will start producing its own vinyl flooring to be distributed nationwide.
