 |
Sadia aims to feed the world, or at least certain markets, one meal at a time. Already Brazil's largest pork and poultry processor, especially turkeys, Sadia is expanding its value-added products for domestic and export markets. As Brazilians are increasingly turning to convenience foods, Sadia has become Brazil's leading maker of frozen foods (such as hamburger patties, pizzas, and ready-to-eat meals) and processed foods (frankfurters and sausages). Other products include frozen desserts, margarine, and pasta. Founded in 1944 by Attilio Fontana, Sadia exports its many products to 60 countries in Asia, Europe, and the Middle East. With Perdigão, the company has formed a meat-export joint venture.
