About Us

Frigol is one of the five largest beef meatpacking companies in Brazil. Founded in 1992 by the Gonzaga Oliveira family, who had been in the beef business since 1970, FriGol is strategically located in the states of São Paulo and Pará.

The Company currently has an important share in the domestic and international markets, with a presence in more than 60 countries in the South and North Americas, Europe, the Middle East, Asia, and Africa.

As a traditional and consistent company, Frigol keeps up with societal transformations and introduces innovative solutions without fearing changes. To that end, the company adopts sustainability practices to minimize livestock impacts on society and the environment. The company also values the power of value-creating relationships – from cattle raisers to consumers.
