Marfrig is a worldwide leader in the production of hamburgers and one of the largest bovine protein companies in the world, in terms of capacity. The company produces high value-added animal protein-based food, mostly of bovine origin, and a wide range of ready-to-eat products such as frozen vegetables, lamb, fish, and sauces.
Founded in 2000, it is one of the most internationalized and diversified food companies, its products being sold in over 100 countries. It employs some 30,000 staff in 21 beef production units, and 10 distribution and commercial centers, scattered over four continents.
Another front on which Marfrig stands out is in producing and selling plant-based products, from Brazil. It is the first company in Brazil to work in this niche on a commercial scale for food service operators. In this activity, it has an exclusive agreement with US company Archer Daniels Midland (ADM), which created PlantPlus Foods in 2020. A result of the joint venture between both companies, PlantPlus Foods makes and sells plant-based products through retail and food service chain channels in South and North America.
