The company was a motorcycle and scooter manufacturer which ceased trading in 1982.
In 1955 Paulo Pascowitch obtained a licence to manufacture Lambretta scooters in Brazil and established Lambretta do Brasil which constructed a factory in Lapa, São Paulo. They initially manufactured Lambretta LD models, and these were replaced by the Series II in 1960. Over 50,000 scooters a year were being built at this time.
In 1964 the firm changed its name to Pasco Lambretta. A new 175cc machine based on the TV Series III was also introduced.
In 1970 the firm once more changed its title, becoming Brumana Pugliese S.A. when it was bought by Philip Pugliese and Oliveiro Brumana. They introduced several new models including the Xispa (1971-1979), the MS (a modified Lambretta Series III), and the Ponei moped with a Minarelli engine (1976-1980).
