Portuguese term or phrase: tricampeã no segmento de dormitórios
Em: "a empresa tornou-se tricampeã no segmento de dormitórios."
simonete
English translation:three time champion in the bedroom furniture sector
Explanation:
I am pretty sure that they are talking about bedroom furniture and not dormitories.

Aurélio:
1.Pavilhão ou ala de edifício, com muitos quartos de dormir.
2.Sala equipada com muitas camas.
3.Quarto de dormir.
4.Mobília de quarto de dormir.

In this case I would guess that number 4 is correct.

Webster's:
dormitory -
1. a room, building, or part of a building with sleeping accommodations for a number of people
2. a building with many rooms that provide sleeping and living accommodations for a number of people, as at college

agree  Donald Scott Alexander: Although more context from the asker would be helpful in order to be sure, I think you're right here about "furniture". And "sector" is good. Also: could use a hyphen in "three-time" depending on style guidelines.

got a hat-trick of years as leader in the bedroom furniture segment


Explanation:
Minha sugestão.

A palavra "hat-trick" significa fazer algo por três vezes, especialmente (um jogador de futebol) fazer três gols na mesma partida.
