Brasinca Ferramentas, Carrocerias e Veículos S/A is a brazilian company which currently manufactures truck bodies and special vehicles. It was founded in September 1949 in the city of São Caetano do Sul (SP) by Gil & Schueler, one of the largest Ford dealers in the interior of the state of São Paulo. The then called Inca - Indústria Nacional de Carrocerias de Aço S/A, was the first in the country to be created with the specific purpose of manufacturing metallic bus bodies.
The name of the company was changed to BRASINCA, to avoid confusion with Incar, a bus body manufacturer already in existence at the time.
Brasinca manufactured, for example, the fiberglass bodywork for the Flatbed truck Saveiro bucket and the first cabins for the FNM truck in 1951.
Brasinca's greatest contribution to the Brazilian automobile industry, was the development of the 4200 GT][1]. Designed by Spanish based in Brazil Rigoberto Soler Gisbert and mechanical wizard Ângelo Mário Gonçalves, the car featured a hand-molded steel body, an engine from the Chevrolet trucks of the time, with 6 cylinders in line and 4,271cc. Three English SU model carburetors were used to power the engine.
The journalist Tiago Songa, one of the greatest scholars of the model, collected data and photographs of 41 units of the probable 73 manufactured between 1964 and 1966. The models were distributed in Berlinetas, two convertible versions and one SW, also called Gavião, which worked for the Highway Police at the base of Rodovia Anchieta.
The high cost of the Uirapurú production made Brasinca give up the production of the Uirapurú, passing the production to the team of engineers that worked on the vehicle. Thus was born the Sociedade Técnica de Veículos Ltda (STV) was born, which was in charge of finishing the assembly of the bodies already manufactured by Brasinca.
In 1996 Usiminas took over half of the Pouso Alegre plant, changing its name to Brasinca-Minas and automatically announcing the closing of the São Paulo plants. In 1997 Brasinca went into receivership. In 1999, Usiminas takes full control of the company, changing its name to Usiparts (currently Automotiva Usiminas).
In February 2020 the company Brasinca Importação de peças located in the city of Maringá PR acquired the registration of the brand logo known as "B Cortado" (sliced B) now holding the logo it can import its parts with this brand.
