HISTORY Of THE DE MARCHI

De Marchi Indústria e Comércio de Frutas Ltda was founded by Giuseppe De Marchi in 1942 and was born as a small agricultural company, producing table grapes. Soon, with the entrepreneurial vision of Giuseppe and devoted work of all its family members, they realized that product variety and especially, serving the most varied needs of its customers would be the key to his success.

In the 60s, De Marchi initiated the distribution of its fresh fruits in the main distribution centers, facing and overcoming the enormous logistical difficulties of that time. Its Customers already perceived the commitment of Giuseppe to quality in the delivery of the order.

In 1980, De Marchi would innovate once again by beginning the processing of fruits, having pioneered the production of frozen fruits and puree in Brazil.

In the 90s the leadership of De Marchi was consolidated in the Brazilian frozen fruits market. Always engaging in constant research and incorporation of cutting edge technology for the processing of its products, De Marchi started also to offer IQF (Individually Quick Frozen)products. The IQF System is considered globally the most efficient and modern method for freezing fruits and vegetables, guaranteeing the maintenance of the ideal characteristics of the nutrients and the flavor of the food product.

In 1999, it innovated again. Aware of the new opportunities which appeared in the new economy, De Marchi extended its supply of products to the end consumers, beginning its e-commerce operation, www.netfeira.com.br. With this electronic store, end consumers from Rio De Janeiro and São Paulo enjoy the quality and diversity of De Marchi, with the ease and comfort of having the products delivered to their doors.

In the turn of the century, due to continuous investments in frozen storage, De Marchi already counted on enough cold store for 10,000 tons of refrigerated and frozen products. With this structure, we guarantee high availability and independence from harvests for the supply of our products. Besides storing its own products, De Marchi also provides storage service for diverse food companies.

Our greatest pride is the certainty that the ethical and moral pillars begun by the founders of our company are being followed, and that we have been able to extend and modernize our horizons and to adjust it to soar ever higher.
