Our story

A factory from inland Paraná, known around the world.

We started in 1992 in Francisco Beltrão. Six years later the factory moved to Marmeleiro, where it still is today. That's more than 30 years of adapting strategies, reinventing products and learning to grow with change.

MTA pressure cooker with a side window

An MTA invention

It began on a fishing trip.

On a quiet day between fishing trips, MTA founder Antonio Froza was talking with his father about what matters: faith, family, work and real food. In the middle of the conversation came the question: what if there were a pressure cooker that let you see what's going on inside?

It took more than five years of development to reach the first pressure cooker with a clear viewing window. A window smaller than the lid, but big enough to show the food cooking, safely.

“The biggest revolution in the history of pressure cookers was the viewing window.”
