From the factory floor to digital transformation: the industrial journey of Célio Francisco Filho
Célio Francisco Filho’s career is an example of how technical expertise combined with strategic vision can boost the competitiveness of Brazilian industry. With over two decades of experience, he is recognized for leading projects involving factory modernization, digital transformation and integrated logistics, with results that have strengthened entire production chains.
One of the biggest milestones in his career was the implementation of the Just-In-Time line between Dyna and Fiat, allowing synchronized deliveries directly to the assembly line. The operation eliminated intermediate stocks, reduced response time by 30% and served as a replicable model for other automotive suppliers.
In the glass industry, Célio also led a project with a very high impact: the nationalization of German metal deposition technology for the production of solar protection glass. The new line, which applies nanometric layers of metals to the glass, has enabled more sustainable and energy-efficient products, highly valued in the construction industry.
With a focus on efficiency, innovation and team building, its work demonstrates how it is possible to make Brazilian industry more modern, agile and globally competitive.
