Portuguese term or phrase: Indústrias de Beneficiamento: 900 teares
from an article about the granite mining and processing sector in Espírito Santo. I believe it is referring to the number of companies in the state involved in the processing end of the industry but I can't find any logical translation for teares.

thanks for the help!

Maybe this is the total number of cutting machines from all companies combined, and a figure about that number (of companies, plants, etc.) is NOT provided.
