MINDx carries more than seven decades of Brazilian foreign-trade tradition in its DNA. In 1951, Edmundo Pierry, grandfather of our CEO Edmundo Pierry Neto, was appointed customs broker by then-President Getúlio Vargas — at a time when the profession could only be practiced by presidential appointment. He worked alongside Cia. Antártica de Bebidas, which would later give rise to Ambev, and became a benchmark of trust and integrity.
In the next generation, his son, José Horácio Teixeira Pierry, entered the sector at a young age and, after decades with leading companies, became foreign-trade director at DAVAR, then considered the largest Brazilian trading company. In 1985, he founded Apoio Despachos Aduaneiros, which won global clients such as Carrefour, Electrolux, Black & Decker and United Distillers (now Diageo).
It was in this environment that Edmundo Pierry Neto began his career in 1987, still a teenager. Starting as an office boy, he moved into management, built operations in São Paulo, Santos and Paraná, and won clients such as Electrolux, Pisa Papel, Tetra Pak and Audi/VW, while also founding his own carrier, TRANS ME. In the 2000s he returned to São Paulo to lead operations at Realm, serving clients such as Husqvarna, Faurecia, Irizar, Sakura and Ceratti — and, in parallel, ventured into technology by developing proprietary foreign-trade software.
He also guided the early steps of BFX Comércio e Investimentos, an import/export company that opened the Brazilian market to international representations in technology, sports and music. In 2018, MINDx was born, initially focused on door-to-door solutions. From 2020 on, it expanded into global trading, qualified under Santa Catarina's TTD regime, and became a strategic link in trading, minerals, energy, commodities, technology and international consulting.
