Our Company

Origins:
In the early forties, Remigio Ciribé started up a family business in slaughtering cattle and selling meat on a retail basis. In time, as the business began to thrive, the family decided to move into the sale of beef wholesale, in the form of half-carcasses, and it was in this way that they eventually came to supply the outlying region on a broad scale.
Frigorifico Ciribé, was born from the concerted efforts of the new generation which continued to develop the business, adding value to its products through the sale of selected cuts of beef which were transported by the firm's own fleet of trucks.

Entrepreneurial mindset:
Our continuous concern for the production of healthy, top-quality products has led us to constantly invest in technology and human capital. Consequently, at the beginning of 2002, our plant achieved the status of qualifying to export to the European Community. Currently the company has some 2,500 acres of prime pasture land devoted to the breeding and fattening of part of the cattle which supplies our processing plant.

Production Capacity:
The plant itself is a 750m2 cutting plant with a freezing facility, manned by a team of 45 operators. It has a fleet of thermal trucks and livestock trucks. Our production capacity is 80 carcasses per shift, representing some 530 tons of processed meat per month. Plant production amounts for only part of our activity, a significant quantity of beef is being sold in the form of half carcasses.
