Two companies named Frata, both Brazilian, have made cameras. The two are not apparently related.

Frata of Saõ Paolo was started in 1961 by Manoel Thalenberg, with German designer Horst Franieck. Their first product was a rechargeable battery for use with electronic flash. The company went on to produce a range of flash equipment, including camera-mounted and studio flashes, flash meters and a stroboscope.^[1] More recently, the company's products have been beacon-lamps for aviation. The company website refers to two very simple cameras for 126 film, the Tekinha and Tekinha II.

Frata Industrial S.A. of Manaus is known for only one camera, the Neiko for 110 film, made in the 1980s.
