BRF S.A. is a Brazilian company. BRF is one of the biggest food companies in the world, with over 30 brands in its portfolio, among them Sadia, Perdigão, Qualy, Paty, Dánica and Bocatti.
Its products are sold in over 150 countries, in all five continents. More than 100 thousand employees work at the company, which owns more than 50 factories in eight countries: Argentina, Brazil, United Arab Emirates, Netherlands, Malaysia, United Kingdom, Thailand and Turkey.
In 2016, the company sold over 4 million tons of food and made more than 600 thousand monthly deliveries. Over 13 thousand integrated producers work daily on the field to supply fundamental ingredients of the food produced by the company: poultry and domestic pig.
BRF is the result of the merger between Sadia and Perdigão, two of the main food companies in Brazil. The operation was announced in 2009 and concluded on July 13, 2013 after being approved by the Economical Defense Administrative Council – Conselho Administrativo de Defesa Econômica (CADE). As the process was concluded, both Sadia and Perdigão stopped functioning as independent companies and became subsumed as brands under BRF’s portfolio.
