Who we are
Who we are
We are São Salvador Alimentos S.A., one of the leading chicken meat producers in Brazil, operating in all stages of the production chain, from the production of fertile eggs to the distribution of in natura and processed products for Brazil and abroad. Our industrial park consists of two production complexes located in the cities of Itaberaí and Nova Veneza, in the state of Goiás, which gives us a daily slaughter capacity of approximately 520,000 birds.
Our industry began operating in 1991, but its history dates back to 1973, when one of the founders, Carlos Vieira, built the first broiler chicken farms in Itaberaí. In over 30 years of industrial activity, we have gradually expanded our structure which, in addition to the two Slaughter Units, includes Feed Factories, Hatcheries, breeding farms for rearing and production of fertile eggs, and grain storage units.
These facilities allow us to comfortably meet all the needs of each stage of our production process, providing more than 430,000 birds for slaughter daily and a diverse portfolio of a hundred products. We have about 26,000 active customers per month in fourteen Brazilian states, plus the Federal District, and we have already exported to 75 countries spread across Africa, Central America, Asia, and Europe. Our work reaches customers’ tables under the SuperFrango and Boua brands.
SuperFrango is our specialized line of poultry protein, present in the frozen, chilled, processed, and breaded segments. It is the brand for traditional and special chicken cuts, stuffed sausages, and breaded items like filezinho and steak, to name a few. Boua, on the other hand, focuses on diversifying our portfolio by offering frozen vegetables, burgers, dairy, fish, pork sausages, and smoked products, among others.
We work with the strictest quality standards to ensure that our customers receive safe, healthy, and affordable products. This is only possible because we have an advanced production process and rely on the excellence of our more than 7,800 direct and outsourced employees.
We have established our Board of Directors, created the Finance Directorate, and made our first foray into the capital markets by issuing Agricultural Receivables Certificates (CRA). To carry out this operation, we went through a risk classification process by Standard & Poor’s, resulting in a AA+ Brazil rating, which demonstrates our total commitment to the highest governance standards and best financial practices in the market.
We are, therefore, a closed capital corporation fully prepared to enter a new world, that of publicly-traded companies. We believe this is the path that will allow us to explore our full growth potential sustainably, with a focus on expanding and ensuring the longevity of our Company and our businesses.
