- BRF S.A. (BRFS3.SA) is a leading Brazilian multinational food company that produces and sells a wide range of protein-based products, including poultry, pork, and processed meats under brands such as Sadia, Perdigão, and Qualy; pet food through brands like Guabi Natural and Pet Love; and plant-based alternatives via its Sweet line. The company offers fresh and frozen meats, ready-to-eat meals, spreads, pizzas, pastries, sauces, and industrial ingredients for foodservice and retail customers worldwide. BRF operates in over 140 countries, with major production facilities in Brazil, the Middle East, Asia, and Europe, targeting consumers, food processors, and quick-service restaurants. Founded in 1931 and headquartered in São Paulo, Brazil, BRF resulted from the 2009 merger of Sadia and Perdigão, positioning it as one of the world's largest protein producers by volume. In recent developments, BRF completed the acquisition of a majority stake in Seekor in 2024 to expand its pet food portfolio in Latin America; launched new sustainable packaging initiatives and halal-certified product lines for Middle Eastern markets in 2025; and formed a strategic partnership with Marfrig Global Foods to enhance beef processing capabilities amid supply chain optimizations. These moves support BRF's focus on diversification into pet nutrition and plant-based segments while strengthening export operations in Asia and the EU.
