Tatiara Meat Company - part of the JBS Family

Operating in 100% of the world's consumer markets and with production capacity in the four main beef producing countries (Brazil, Argentina, USA and Australia), JBS is the largest exporter in this sector, the world's leader in slaughter capacity - 47,100 head of cattle per day, the largest Brazilian multinational food company, and also achieved a remarkable status in the pork market after the acquisition of Swift & Company. The company operates in the food and transportation segments. More than 40,000 employees contribute to its success.

JBS's management is characterized by its entrepreneurial spirit. The company was the first to enter the meat packing sector in Brazil. Due to its strategic vision, determination and a policy of expansion JBS went international in 2005 with the acquisition of Swift Argentina. It was the first to go public in this segment in 2007. After the acquisition of Swift Foods and Company in the United States, JBS stands out as the world's largest company in the beef protein sector and the third largest pork producer and processor in the USA.

JBS now owns Production Plants in the USA-three pork processing plants, four beef processing plants and one meat slicing plant. In Australia it has ten plants and five feedlots. The efforts towards modernization, growth and well-being of partners, clients, employees and consumers, together with the satisfaction of its shareholders characterize a corporate management deeply concerned with social responsibility and environmental issues.

The brand

The company is in constant evolution. After reorganizing its business segments, JBS ceased to be a limited liability company to become a corporation. Its name was changed from Friboi to JBS, the initials of the founder, José Batista Sobrinho. Today, the brands are independent, but the fresh meat products will keep the name Friboi because of its high credibility and brand recall both in the domestic and the international markets.

JBS's corporate governance

JBS's leadership was born and developed in the plants and because of that its three main executives, Joesley, Wesley and Júnior, are fully committed, body and soul, to this market.

We believe in the professionals and partners of the meat market. Thus we will highlight all partnerships and acquisitions completed throughout our journey and the professionals who joined us and enabled our company to develop and grow.

We believe that external factors are not that important. We always focus on what is within our reach, on what we can control and know best. We insist on controlling costs, improving our slaughter and production capacity and constantly increasing our revenues to assure the best quality products.

We believe that everything begins and ends at the plants, because the homogeneity and good quality of the raw material (cattle), together with the capacity of the workforce, make the success of our company, fostering and supporting all possibilities of future growth and investments.

The employees are the company's main asset. We believe that all people are equal on this planet, in any business setting, regardless of their social, intellectual or hierarchical level. However, we only bring to our company those who are prosperous and committed to work, those who are dedicated and eager to learn, grow and expand.
