Who we are

Meridian works on factory, incentive and market access

We are an Industrial Advisory & Operations Firm focused on industrial decisions that combine operation, technology, regulation and investment.

The company works on three fronts: implementation of photovoltaic module factories, implementation and operation of PADIS in eligible industries, and Meridian Regulatory, with compliance and certification to access the market.

The company

The origin is in applied PADIS

Meridian was born from the work of structuring and operating PADIS within industry. Throughout this development, processes, instruments, proposals, monitoring models and criteria for R&D, RDA, audit and credit capture were organized.

The factory front was incorporated later, based on the team's industrial experience and the curation of the IBIF project. The content was reorganized to Meridian's standards and turned into an implementation program.

The three fronts remain independent. An industry can contract PADIS without a new factory project. A company can assess a factory and handle PADIS within the feasibility. A manufacturer or importer can start with Regulatory, with Inmetro/PBE homologation, before discussing local production.

Team

Who leads the work

The industrial front is led by Everton Fardin. The full team composition varies according to the project scope.

Operating model

Lean structure, in-house knowledge and a network of specialists

Meridian keeps in-house the knowledge that guides the decision, the implementation and the control of the work.

Activities that require qualified engineering, construction execution, equipment manufacturing, certification or exclusive opinions are performed by professionals and companies responsible for those specialties.

The team composition varies according to the scope. The proposal identifies who takes part, what will be contracted by Meridian, what will be contracted by the client and the acceptance criteria.
