Tornillos Venezolanos, S.A.I.C.A.

What it is

Tornillos Venezolanos, S.A.I.C.A. is a Venezuelan manufacturer of screws, bolts and related fasteners — the industrial components that hold together machinery, construction and oil-field equipment.

It operates as a Sociedad Anónima Inscrita de Capital Abierto (S.A.I.C.A.), a legal form under Venezuelan securities law that requires at least half of a company’s shares to be offered to the general public and subjects it to oversight by SUNAVAL, the national securities regulator.

The company is listed on the Bolsa de Valores de Caracas under the ticker TOR, ISIN VEV00039100, with shares carrying a nominal value of Bs. 20.00.

It is one of the very few industrial manufacturing companies that has maintained a continuous stock-exchange listing through Venezuela’s years of economic disruption.

Who owns it

Specific controlling-shareholder names and ownership percentages are not disclosed in available sources — the BVC’s detailed issuer database requires a paid subscription, and no public filing was accessible during research. As a S.A.I.C.A., Venezuelan law mandates that at least 50% of its subscribed capital be held by the general public in small tranches, with no single public shareholder exceeding 0.5% of subscribed capital; under the S.A.I.C.A.

structure, capital must be 50% in the “closed” (founding/controlling) portion and the remainder in publicly traded “open” capital. The identity and stake of the founding or controlling group are not disclosed in available sources.

Who runs it

The names of the chief executive, chair, and board members are not disclosed in available sources. Venezuelan law requires a S.A.I.C.A.

to be administered by a board of at least five members, who serve one-year terms and may be re-elected. No investor-relations page, regulatory filing, or press source published the current leadership during this research.

The money, in plain words

No audited revenue, net profit, total assets, or any other financial figure for Tornillos Venezolanos could be verified from a primary source. The BVC sells access to listed companies’ filed financial statements behind a paywall, and SUNAVAL’s public-facing website does not surface individual company filings in open search.

Venezuela’s decade-long economic crisis — which shrank the formal economy severely and led to multiple currency reforms — makes the financial history of small industrial companies extraordinarily difficult to reconstruct from open sources. Any figure published elsewhere without a primary source link should be treated with caution.

What is clear from the live BVC market data retrieved on 9 July 2026 is that TOR did not appear among the actively quoted symbols that day, which points to very thin liquidity — meaning the shares trade rarely, if at all, on most sessions. In illiquid frontier markets like Venezuela’s, a listed stock can go weeks without a single trade.

What it is doing now

No material corporate announcements — no capital raises, leadership changes, acquisitions, or regulatory events — for Tornillos Venezolanos were found in any source during this research. The most recent BVC news flow as of 9 July 2026 centred on other issuers, including a capital increase at INVACA Investment Company and commercial paper issues by Corporación VNET.

The fastener manufacturer appears to be operating quietly, below the threshold of public disclosure that Venezuela’s strained information environment permits.

What to watch

• Financial filing access. The BVC sells issuers’ audited statements by subscription; any investor wanting real numbers must pay for that service or contact the company’s shareholder-relations department directly.
• Currency risk. All Venezuelan bolívar figures are subject to rapid devaluation; the VES/USD rate of 698.47 used here is live as of 9 July 2026 but will shift.
• Liquidity. With TOR absent from the live trading board, entry and exit for any investor could be difficult and prices, when they do print, may not reflect fair value.
• Macro environment. Venezuela’s gradual dollarisation and partial economic stabilisation since 2019 have allowed some manufacturers to resume production; whether Tornillos Venezolanos has benefited is unknown without financial disclosure.
• Ownership transparency. A formal SUNAVAL filing request or a paid BVC subscription is the only reliable route to the founding shareholder structure and current board names.
