Our history

We come from a great aspiration: to grow beyond borders.

We come from the evolution of a family business that decided to take its positive footprint further into the world.

We were born as an ambitious consequence of two long-time high school friends that dared to dream big and unleashed a mindset of possibilities. After a number of successful integrations and many learnings under our belts, we are connecting countries and cultures, promoting talent, propelling the growth of companies and the expansion of brands through hubs that empower us to reach always for progress, new frontiers and for a better tomorrow.

We come from a Group with an infinite dream and a clear purpose: Unleash value to catalyze inclusive growth and prosperity around the world.

We are Bia, the Nourishing Alliance.

We firmly believe that each new member who joins our alliance has unique ingredients that enrich our community, bringing new perspectives and contributing to improve what others have achieved. And, at the same time, we believe that each of our companies, thanks to the alliance, can learn, develop, and grow their talent and products towards new markets.

We know that our strength lies in our shared values, which drive us to act for the long term and to always act in a simple, responsible way, choosing to be part of the solution to the problems of the times we live in.

We embrace the deep essence of nurturing as a value-generating principle, promoting growth, a mindset of abundance, health, and cultural heritage.

We dream of becoming the fastest growing food company in the Americas.
