Engineering dedicated to work-at-height safety
Design, manufacturing, installation, inspection and maintenance
From field survey to ongoing maintenance, a single technical accountability over the entire fall protection system cycle, turn-key and NR-35 compliant.
Founded in 2017 as a spin-off of the MG Cinto group, Anchor is the first company in Brazil to develop a truly mobile lifeline and the only one to field-test, in its own laboratory, every solution it uses.

Why choosing the supplier is an engineering decision
In work at height, the Brazilian market operates fragmented: those who design don't manufacture, those who manufacture don't install, those who install don't maintain, and those who sell have rarely tested what they deliver. For the EHS manager and the operations board, this fragmentation produces three concrete risks.
The answer to these risks is not commercial. It is structural: it demands a supplier with engineering, factory, laboratory and field teams under the same roof.
Diluted technical accountability
When the system fails, each link in the chain points at the other. Before NR-35 and forensics, the contracting company is the one that answers.
Solutions never validated in real conditions
Catalogs and component certificates do not replace the dynamic test of the complete system, in the configuration in which it will be used.
Orphan systems
Lifelines installed and abandoned, with no periodic inspection, no documented history and no supplier answering for them: a silent liability spread across the plant.
The engineering born inside a PPE manufacturer
Anchor Projetos was founded in 2017 as a spin-off of the MG Cinto operation, one of Brazil's largest manufacturers of work-at-height PPE. The division of competencies is clear: MG Cinto answers for the PPE; Anchor, for the engineering services and projects.
360º solution, turn-key
From basic design and detailed engineering of NR-35 compliance structures, through manufacturing and installation, to the maintenance of lifelines and SRLs, including the specification and supply of the appropriate PPE.
Multidisciplinary engineering with continuous R&D
A team across mechanical, civil and electrical disciplines, with constant research in electrical, hydraulic and automation systems. That capability produced the AMX, a patented design unique in the world: Brazil's first truly mobile lifeline.
Own infrastructure in Belo Horizonte
In-house testing and validation laboratory with practical and chemical trials, a training and simulation center for new products, an in-house machining center and the SRL maintenance workshop developed with MG Cinto.
National presence, work at the client
Operations across the entire Brazilian territory, with engineering teams for inspection and validation of existing systems and maintenance teams working on-site at the client's plant.
Engineering differentials

Frequently asked questions
What is the relationship between Anchor and MG Cinto?
Anchor was born in 2017 as a spin-off of the MG Cinto operation. The competencies are complementary: MG Cinto manufactures work-at-height PPE; Anchor answers for the engineering services and projects, such as structures, lifelines, inspection and maintenance. Together they enable the 360º delivery, from design to PPE.
What does turn-key supply mean in practice?
A single contract and a single technical officer from start to finish: field survey, basic and detailed design across mechanical, civil and electrical disciplines, manufacturing at our own facility in Belo Horizonte, assembly at the client's plant and subsequent maintenance, with no supplier interfaces diluting responsibility.
How does Anchor validate the solutions it delivers?
In its own laboratory, with practical and chemical trials. Anchor is the only company in Brazil to field-test every solution it uses. The AMX, for example, underwent pendulum testing, the dynamic trial that reproduces a real fall load.
Does Anchor serve plants outside Minas Gerais?
Yes. Operations cover the entire Brazilian territory, both for inspection and validation of existing systems and for installation of new systems and SRL maintenance, including teams working on-site at the client's operation.
Talk to whoever signs the design
Your NR-35 compliance deserves to start with an engineering diagnosis, not a generic quote. Schedule a conversation with an Anchor engineer and request the field survey of your operation, the first step of the turn-key supply.
