Maestro Frotas specializes in vehicle fleet outsourcing and management for corporate clients of all sizes across Brazil. Founded in 2007 by Fabio Lewkowicz, who serves as CEO, the company was established to meet the growing demand for quality vehicle rental services. Lewkowicz began his career in 2002 within his family's automotive resale business, bringing foundational industry knowledge to Maestro Frotas.
The company's business model revolves around long-term vehicle rentals, comprehensive fleet management, and the sale of decommissioned, pre-owned vehicles. Its services for corporate clients include fleet planning to optimize size and reduce costs, management of a client's own fleet, telematics, and handling of fines and documentation. For vehicles no longer needed by clients, Maestro Frotas manages their sale through its pre-owned vehicle sales team. It serves a diverse clientele, offering light and heavy vehicles, as well as agricultural equipment. The company generates revenue through rental contracts and a percentage-based commission on the sale of decommissioned fleet vehicles.
A significant milestone occurred in 2011 when the investment fund Stratus made a capital injection, aiming to position Maestro Frotas as a major market player. This partnership was driven by the company's consistent growth, solid client base, and experienced team. In 2015, Maestro Frotas accessed the capital markets through its first debenture issue and was subsequently listed on the Bovespa Mais. In 2018, the company acquired Locarcity, a rental company based in Minas Gerais. The firm also has a key partnership with Kovi, a vehicle rental company for app-based drivers, supplying them with a significant number of vehicles.
