Senior Sistemas, a management technology company, made its largest acquisition with a check for R$318.7 million to acquire 100% of Salú, HRtech specialized in occupational health. The operation is still subject to approval by the Administrative Council for Economic Defense (Cade).
Founded in 2020, with headquarters in São Paulo, Salú works to digitize the occupational health and safety journey through a SaaS platform combined with a specialized operation. The company serves more than 800 customers distributed across all Brazilian states, with more than 1 million occupational appointments made and more than 300,000 hours returned to HR teams through the automation of occupational health flows. Among its clients are brands such as Nubank, QuintoAndar, GPA, XP, C6 Bank, Afya and Ipiranga.
Salú has also been sustaining an accelerated growth trajectory since its founding, with net revenue CAGR of 115.5% in the last two years. In 2025, the company recorded net operating revenue of R$76.8 million and an adjusted EBITDA margin of 20.2%.

The acquisition reinforces Senior’s strategy of expanding its HCM (Human Capital Management) ecosystem. With Salú, the portfolio now has a platform dedicated to occupational health, connecting processes such as management of clinical and laboratory exams, legal programs, PGR (Risk Management Program), PCMSO (Occupational Health Medical Control Program), ASO (Occupational Health Certificate), EPI (Personal Protective Equipment), certificates, absences, absenteeism, corporate outpatient clinics and an accredited network.
“The operation will add new technologies to Senior’s Occupational Health and Safety solutions, expanding the company’s “end-to-end HCM” offering”, says Carlênio Castelo Branco, CEO of Senior. Currently, Senior’s HCM has solutions for payroll, electronic time, recruitment and selection, digital admission, performance and career management, development, analytics and other critical stages of the employee’s journey.
“The acquisition of Salú accelerates a strategic front for Senior: integrating occupational health into the complete people management journey. This is an increasingly relevant topic for companies, because it combines operational efficiency, risk reduction, compliance and a better experience for HRs and employees. With Salú, we are advancing in a modern, specialized solution that has evolved towards an AI Native experience, capable of consolidating information, tasks, risks and recommendations into a single vision for HR”, adds the CEO of Senior.
“Salú was born to transform a historically manual and fragmented operation into a digital, simple and data-driven experience. This union with Senior will allow us to accelerate this vision on a national scale, integrating occupational health into the heart of people management in companies. There is a great synergy of culture, customer focus and product vision, and we believe that this connection will increase the value delivered to the market”, says René Neme, CEO and co-founder of Salú, who will remain ahead of the operation after the transaction is completed.
Senior expands scale in people management
After approval and completion of the operation, Senior will further expand its operations with a focus on people management, an area in which it manages more than 11 million lives and processes 7 million payrolls. With Salú, Senior will add another 460 thousand active lives under management.
The company also estimates that approximately 18% of the country’s payrolls are processed by its solutions, reinforcing its presence in a sector marked by operational efficiency, regulatory compliance and a better experience for employees.
