Inorpel - Expert-level Fortinet partner in Brazil.

Expert-level Fortinet partner in Cabedelo, Paraiba, and one of the few entries here whose name belongs to two companies at once.

The registry carries Inorpel Comercio e Servicos, opened on 25 June 2009 in Cabedelo under technical support and maintenance, and separately Inorpel Industria Nordestina de Produtos Eletricos, founded on 26 October 1994 at the same location. An IT services company sharing a name and a town with a fifteen-years-older electrical manufacturer is the ordinary shape of a Brazilian family group extending into a new line, and both registrations are recorded here rather than one being chosen.

In the vendor directory it is listed as integrator and managed security provider, with SASE, SD-WAN and security operations. A partner running a security operations practice from Paraiba is worth noticing on its own: the Northeast is under-represented in every Brazilian channel list, including this one.

The name is an acronym and it explains the company: INdustria NORdestina de Produtos ELetricos, a north-eastern electrical products manufacturer. There are two registrations in Cabedelo, Paraiba - the industrial one opened in 1994, and Inorpel Comercio e Servicos, opened 25 June 2009, whose registered activity is technical support and IT services. The 2009 date is used here because that is the entity doing this work.

The company describes itself as more than forty years in technology, which reaches back further than either registration - a reminder that a Brazilian CNPJ dates a legal entity, not a business. It positions itself as the first company in Paraiba specialising in information-security services and consultancy, with cybersecurity as a newer segment alongside the older technology work, and carries Fortinet, Bitdefender, Acronis, Qualys and PRTG among others.
