What Alibem does

Alibem S/A is a Brazilian pork meat producer and distributor headquartered in Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do Sul, founded in 2000 and operating as a Sociedade Anônima (public limited company) since 2014. The company runs a vertically integrated production chain covering feed mills, owned farms, genetic improvement (via its Gene Dissemination Unit in Cândido Godói/RS), pig farming, slaughter, processing, and distribution. It sells roughly 160,000 tons of pork cuts and processed products annually across three branded lines — Salgados e Defumados (smoked and cured traditional products), Linha Grill (barbecue-focused sausages), and Linha Reserva (premium specialty cuts such as Picanha Suína and Linguiça Toscana variants) — and exports to more than 40 countries.

Commercially, Alibem serves three primary customer segments: retail consumers (via the Pertinho de Mim store locator and supermarket channel), foodservice operators (restaurants, hotels, caterers through direct B2B sales), and distributors and resellers (recruited through the Quero Revender program). Industrial operations are concentrated at two slaughterhouse complexes — Santo Ângelo/RS (capacity 4,000 head/day as of 2022) and Estação/RS (operational since 2023) — supported by multiple farms, a feed mill in Nova Candelária, and a distribution center in Nova Santa Rita. The company holds SIF, HACCP, and ISO 9001 certifications, was elected Best Agribusiness Company in Brazil by Valor Econômico in 2020, and publishes joint GRI-aligned sustainability reports with Agra Agroindustrial.

Alibem's revenue model is predominantly product sales (pork cuts, sausages, bacon, smoked and seasoned products) priced via B2B quote-based channels; public pricing is not disclosed. The company supplements operating capital through agribusiness receivables and commercial notes in the Brazilian capital markets, most recently completing a BRL 150 million second issuance in November 2025 led by Caixa Econômica Federal. Eduardo Shen is the founder and director; the company is privately held with no institutional or parent-company ownership disclosed.
