What Fasa Group does

Fasa Group (Grupo FASA) is a privately held Brazilian industrial conglomerate founded in December 2010 that converts animal byproducts — bones, blood, feathers, viscera, and fats — from slaughterhouses into high-value protein meals, mineral supplements, and industrial fats/oils through industrial rendering processes including digestion, hydrolysis, and thermal processing. The company operates 15 industrial plants across eight Brazilian states (Rio Grande do Sul, Santa Catarina, Paraná, Mato Grosso do Sul, Mato Grosso, Minas Gerais, Rondônia, and Pará), each holding SIF (Federal Inspection System) certification that ensures pathogen-free, export-eligible product with a documented minimum protein digestibility of 85% under pepsin testing. Its product portfolio spans five raw-material origins (bovine, swine, poultry, fish, and recycled vegetable) and approximately 17 distinct SKUs with multiple protein grades targeting feed formulations for poultry, swine, aquaculture, premium/super-premium pet food, hygiene/cleaning industries, and biodiesel production.

The group is structured as a joint venture among four partners: Brazil's Grupo FAROS (35+ years in animal recycling), Italy's Grupo SAPI (50+ years of international experience), Chile's Corpesca/Grupo Angelini (joined 2016, marine and vegetable proteins), and Brazil's Oleoplan (joined 2020, soybean processing and biodiesel). This partnership structure pools complementary expertise across animal and marine proteins and renewable fuels, with no public listing, no disclosed equity splits, and 1,001-5,000 employees.

The business operates on a B2B direct-sales model, selling in bulk, 40 kg bags, and 1,300 kg big bags to industrial buyers including feed manufacturers, pet food producers, aquaculture operations, biodiesel companies, and hygiene/cleaning formulators. Revenue is generated through one-time commercial transactions rather than licensing or subscription models; pricing is not publicly disclosed. International commercial relations extend to 23+ countries across South America, Asia, Africa, and North America. The company has additional vertical integration into biodiesel feedstock, where Oleoplan's capabilities combined with FASA's animal fats and recycled cooking oil position the group in Brazil's renewable fuels value chain (approximately 20% of Brazilian biodiesel is produced from bovine tallow).
