BRF S.A.

Food & Beverage

BRF was created in 2009 through the merger of Sadia and Perdigão, two of Brazil's most iconic food companies whose histories stretch back to the 1930s and 1950s respectively. Sadia, founded in 1944 in Concórdia, Santa Catarina, grew from a small family pork business into Brazil's largest poultry exporter, while Perdigão, founded in 1934 in Videira, pioneered industrialized chicken production in southern Brazil. The merger created a global protein powerhouse with a vertically integrated model spanning genetics, feed production, farms, processing plants and international distribution, and BRF is today one of the world's largest producers and exporters of chicken, pork and processed foods. BRF operates more than 30 industrial plants in Brazil plus facilities in the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, Malaysia, Thailand and the United Arab Emirates, and produces a portfolio of over 1,500 products under brands including Sadia, Perdigão, Qualy, and the international brand Sadia Global. The company exports to more than 120 countries, with key markets across the Middle East, Asia, Europe and Latin America, and is one of the world's largest halal poultry producers, operating dedicated halal plants and distribution in the Gulf region. BRF employs around 90,000 people and maintains one of the most extensive cold-chain logistics networks in the Americas, including its own fleet and port terminals. For B2B buyers, BRF is a major source of frozen poultry, pork and value-added processed proteins, with halal certification through recognized bodies, HACCP-based food safety systems, and export approvals for the EU, China, Japan, Saudi Arabia and dozens of other markets. Its industrial customers include foodservice distributors, retail chains, and food manufacturers requiring bulk frozen meat, cooked products and further-processing raw materials. BRF also operates a large agricultural supply chain, purchasing feed grains, soy and corn from farmers and traders, and continuously invests in plant automation, packaging lines and cold-storage capacity, creating procurement opportunities for equipment, packaging materials and logistics providers serving the global protein trade.

Ambev S.A.

Food & Beverage

Ambev was formed in 1999 through the merger of Brazil's two largest brewers, Brahma and Antarctica, creating a company that controlled roughly 70 percent of the Brazilian beer market from the start. The company became part of the global Anheuser-Busch InBev group in 2004, when InBev was created through the merger of Ambev and Belgium's Interbrew, and Ambev has since served as AB InBev's Latin American platform while maintaining its own listing on the São Paulo stock exchange. Today Ambev operates across Brazil, Argentina, Bolivia, Canada, Chile, Cuba, the Dominican Republic, Paraguay, Peru and Uruguay, with a portfolio that includes beer brands such as Skol, Brahma, Antarctica and Budweiser, plus soft drinks, energy drinks and non-alcoholic beverages. Ambev is one of the largest beverage companies in the Americas, producing and distributing more than 170 million hectoliters of beverages annually through a network of breweries, soft-drink plants and logistics centers. The company is renowned for its operational excellence culture, epitomized by its 100+ brewery operations and its advanced logistics and sales systems, and it has been a pioneer in using technology and data analytics across its supply chain, from barley sourcing and brewing to point-of-sale execution. Ambev also operates a substantial recycling and sustainability program, including the returnable glass bottle system that remains central to the Brazilian market, and has committed to net-zero carbon emissions by 2040. For B2B suppliers, Ambev is a major and demanding procurement partner. Its breweries and soft-drink plants buy large volumes of malt, hops, glass bottles, aluminum cans, labels, corrugated packaging, water treatment chemicals, and brewery equipment, with centralized procurement through AB InBev's global sourcing organization. Suppliers must meet rigorous quality, food-safety and sustainability standards, and Ambev actively works with suppliers on water stewardship, carbon reduction and recyclable packaging innovation. Its scale, brand portfolio and commitment to operational efficiency make Ambev a strategically important customer for packaging, ingredients, and beverage-technology companies across Latin America.
