What Refriko does

Refriko, operating under the Grupo RFK corporate umbrella and legally constituted as Refriko Indústria e Comércio de Bebidas LTDA (CNPJ 10.656.672/0001-03), is a Brazilian soft drink manufacturer founded in Paraná in 2012. The company produces seven flavor families — Tubaína, Guaraná, Laranja, Limão, Uva, Framboesa, and Cola — through four manufacturing plants located in Paraná (headquarters in Cambé and a second facility in São José dos Pinhais), Mato Grosso do Sul (Campo Grande), São Paulo (Presidente Prudente), and Pará (Benevides). Its newest plant (RFK) is equipped with Krones Solutions manufacturing technology and is positioned by the company as a reference facility in Latin America.

The company operates a direct-to-point-of-sale distribution model with no publicly disclosed pricing, selling soft drinks and other refreshment beverages through its own distribution network. Distribution coverage spans 10 Brazilian states — BA, CE, DF, MT, MG, GO, RS, SP, SC, and PR — and three international markets: Bolivia, Paraguay, and Uruguay. The customer base is composed of retail outlets, convenience stores, supermarkets, and regional distributors, with no named enterprise accounts and no enterprise sales motion.

Refriko is a privately held company with 101–250 employees, no external funding rounds or investor involvement disclosed, and no evidence of public listing. Revenue is generated through unit sales of branded beverages under the Refriko / Grupo RFK brand umbrella. The company self-describes as the largest beverage manufacturer in Paraná and as a national reference in innovation, quality, and technology, though no AI/ML, software, or technology-product capabilities are present in the available data.
