Minerva Foods has finalised its acquisition of several key assets from Marfrig Global Foods, consolidating its presence as a major player in the industry.

The acquisition, first announced earlier this year, received final regulatory approvals and marks a milestone in Minerva’s expansion strategy across South America and beyond.

 

The acquisition includes processing plants and distribution centres in various strategic locations, strengthening its position in core markets such as Brazil, Argentina, and Uruguay.

“This acquisition is a pivotal step in our long-term strategy,” said Fernando Galletti de Queiroz, CEO of Minerva Foods. “By integrating Marfrig’s assets, we can enhance our supply capabilities, streamline our operations, and better serve our clients worldwide with premium products.”

Minerva, already a leading exporter of fresh meat across South America, anticipates the acquisition will also strengthen its export capabilities to high-demand markets in Asia, Europe, and the Middle East. According to the company, the transaction aligns with its sustainability objectives, as the additional facilities will allow Minerva to implement environmentally friendly practices at scale, potentially reducing emissions and waste through improved logistical integration.

The acquisition is expected to have a positive impact on Minerva’s revenue in the coming fiscal year, as it leverages synergies across its expanded network of assets. Industry analysts view the move as a proactive approach to meeting increased global protein demands while addressing sustainability, a growing priority within the sector.

The Minerva-Marfrig deal is one of the latest in a series of mergers and acquisitions reshaping the meat processing industry, highlighting an era of consolidation and strategic partnerships as firms seek to streamline operations and fortify market positions amid shifting consumer trends and supply chain challenges.
