The history of Mills began in 1952 and it has a pioneering journey marked by the construction of major works that contributed to the development of Brazil.

In 1997, the aerial platforms division of Mills was born, and in 2003, the aerial platforms division was sold to Sullair Argentina, which renamed the new company as Solaris. In 2010, Mills went public.

Subsequently, in 2015, the restructuring process of Mills and Solaris began due to the economic crisis. In 2019, Solaris was incorporated by Mills and the company became known as Mills Solaris.

The two companies were the main players in Brazil in equipment rental, and by joining forces, they became responsible for 28% of the market share in the segment, meaning Mills Solaris became a leader in its operating segment.

In summary, between 1990 and 2020, Mills focused on expanding its portfolio with innovative and safe solutions. As a result, it grew in its operating segment and is now a leader in the rental market for aerial platforms and high-complexity constructions in Brazil.

Finally, in 2020, the company began structuring objectives related to sustainability, and in 2021, it implemented actions to consolidate the internal culture of ESG – Environmental, Social and Corporate Governance.
