Conservas Oderich

What Conservas Oderich does

Conservas Oderich S/A is a Brazilian family-owned canned food manufacturer, founded in 1908 by Carlos H. Oderich in São Sebastião do Caí, Rio Grande do Sul, and currently in its fifth generation of family ownership. The company operates a vertically integrated production platform spanning five facilities — São Sebastião do Caí (headquarters and main factory), Eldorado do Sul (metallic packaging manufacturing, 300 million cans/year), Pelotas (sweet preserves), Orizona (tomato pulp, sweet corn and peas), and Luziânia (acquired 2021) — across 130,000 m² of constructed area with 2,300+ employees and an annual production capacity exceeding 100,000 tons or 300 million units.

The product portfolio is organized into six lines: tomato products, preserved meats (sausages, corned beef, beef in its own juice, ham, pâtés), fruit preserves (peach, fig, guava, strawberry), condiments, mayonnaise (regular, light, flavored variants), and vegetables (peas, corn, sauerkraut, olives, mixed vegetables), plus a Premium Series tier. Underlying technology follows European Common Market food processing and canning standards, with proprietary in-house water (ETA) and effluent (ETE) treatment systems and Federal Inspection (SIF), BRC, and Halal certifications enabling both institutional and export sales. Distribution is operated through a nationwide Brazilian sales-representative network, government institutional supply (notably FNDE school meals and the Armed Forces), retail supermarket chains, and direct export to more than 80 countries across five continents, with active prospecting at Gulfood Dubai (since 2014), Iran Agro, and IDEX Abu Dhabi.

Revenue is generated through one-time sales of branded canned goods across retail, institutional, and export channels, with pricing varying by product type, size (ranging from 7g sachets to 3kg bulk containers), and channel. The company sources from more than 2,000 farming families under technical assistance programs, with innovation funding supported by FINEP. No public revenue or ARR figures are disclosed.
