Our company was developed 45 years ago based in the cooperative work, uniting training, investment in companies, for valuing people and focus. That's why we guarantee the best products on your table!
Driven by the mission of transforming people’s lives through high-quality food, Frimesa has cooperatives at its core, embodying a fair and humane model. We believe in collaboration and sustainable development across the entire production process.
To provide valuable food to people.
To grow sustainably and continuously, creating lasting value for all our stakeholders.
To nourish people.
In this management model, the board of directors and the executive board define long-term goals for the Cooperative, which become specific action plans and projects. Then, monthly meetings follow up the development of these goals.
Our processes have guidelines and procedures to guide production, marketing and delivery of safe and quality food. Our main factories have the IFS Global Markets Food (GFSI) certification, which is focused on food safety management.
We work to grow sustainably, guaranteeing return to our cooperatives, associated producers, employees, customers and consumers. The commodity production model is monitored during all stages, with purchasing commitment, balancing and regulating result distribution.
The quest for sustainable growth permeates all management stages with a focus on promoting cooperative work, transparency and clarity in decision making. The instances of Corporate Governance are: General Assembly, Board of Directors, Fiscal Council and Executive Board.
Everyone is responsible for innovation at Frimesa, so we encourage and value technological and scientific development to generate new ideas and projects that aim to improve and create new products, processes and services. In 2017, Frimesa was elected the most innovative company in Paraná state.
We have implemented policies, rules and processes that help control and standardize our meat production, ensuring food safety with the implementation of good practices.
We work as a central office for five cooperatives, operating in the pork and dairy products’ chains. This joint effort to obtain the best results comes from the productive cooperation between Frimesa, its affiliated cooperatives and associated producers. In addition, it involves the processes of supplies delivery, technical follow-up of animal development, and delivery to Frimesa, where it can industrialize and commercialize the products.
Third parties and suppliers’ activities are also carefully controlled. There are audits from government, customers and certification companies to validate the compliance according to the required quality, health, environmental and legal standards. Our main factories have the IFS Global Markets Food (GFSI) certification, which is focused on food safety management.
Our Quality Management sector also has laboratories for analysis and monitoring of raw materials, products during process and final products. Industrial lines have Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP), Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) and Standard Sanitizing Operating Procedures (SSOP) plans – which are important requirements for ensuring the safety of manufactured foods.
Respecting life is the starting point of our entire production chain. Since 2017, we have been working to make sure that by 2026 all of our female pigs live in group housing during gestation, instead of individual pens. By 2025, we had already reached 58% of this goal, strictly following Normative Instruction No. 113 of the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Supply (MAPA).
Our new farms are designed with animal welfare in mind right from the start. After 35 days of insemination, our sows move into group spaces with enriched environments. Next, we are introducing a “cover-release” system that will allow them to be grouped together even earlier, just seven days after insemination.
Step by step, we are moving closer to our purpose: producing food in a way that is ethical, responsible, and sustainable, while ensuring animals’ well-being every step of the way.
