RJR

What RJR does

RJR Nutrientes e Farmoquímicos Ltda. is a privately held Brazilian B2B distributor headquartered in Osasco/SP, founded in 1991, that imports, fractions, and distributes more than 125 raw material SKUs serving nutraceutical, pharmaceutical, cosmetic, food, and animal nutrition manufacturers across Brazil. The company operates an ISO 9001-certified quality management system with end-to-end batch traceability, temperature- and humidity-controlled storage, segregated fractionation areas to prevent cross-contamination, and FEFO inventory discipline, enabling it to supply the documentation and ANVISA registration support required by regulated industrial customers.

Its core product portfolio spans vitamins (A palmitate, encapsulated C, K2), chelated minerals, essential amino acids, functional nutraceutical ingredients (including DSM's Resvida resveratrol and VitaSynth's K2 Vitaquinone), food additives and preservatives, sweeteners, thickeners, and customized premixes, alongside outsourced/private-label manufacturing of finished powders, capsules, and tablets and formulation/regulatory consulting. The customer base exceeds 500 industrial accounts, all served through a direct sales-led motion that requires prior registration, credit analysis, and vendor qualification, with quotations produced by the in-house commercial and technical team rather than public pricing.

Revenue is generated through three streams: transactional distribution of raw materials (the largest), professional-services contract manufacturing under private label, and technical consulting for formulation and ANVISA compliance. The company sources from a qualified roster of international principals including DSM, VitaSynth, King, ZMC, and Sudeep Pharma, and markets itself primarily through technical content on its website, LinkedIn, WhatsApp Business, and a gated digital catalog. The entity operates exclusively in Brazil with no identified parent, institutional investors, or external funding.
