Mundial SA is the result of the initiatives of Paul Zivi and Abramo Eberle, two notable pioneers responsible for starting enterprises that are intertwined with the history of industrial development in Rio Grande do Sul and Brazil. Abramo Eberle was the founder of Eberle, in 1896, in the city of Caxias do Sul/RS.

Paul Zivi started Zivi-Hercules SA, in 1931, in the city of Porto Alegre/RS. The development of Eberle blends with the history of Caxias do Sul, while Zivi-Hercules has become a milestone in the establishment of the cutlery tradition in Brazil.

In 1985, Zivi-Hercules acquired Eberle, creating the Zivi-Hercules-Eberle Group, and since the end of 2003, the name of the group has become Mundial SA Produtos de Consumo. Since then, many changes have been implemented, new brands have emerged, and new products have been launched. Today, with more than 127 years of experience, Mundial SA is a socially responsible company, passionate about the development of people and processes, which always seeks to innovate and multiply solutions.
