Brazil's largest seafood processor and distributor for foodservice and retail
Frescatto is an 80-year-old seafood processor operating across Brazil with two market-leading brands (Frescatto and Buona Pesca) serving foodservice and retail channels. The tech stack is analytics-heavy (Tableau, Power BI, Qlik, Python, R) paired with Salesforce and RD Station, suggesting a push toward data-driven supply-chain and sales operations. Hiring is heavily weighted toward logistics (22 roles), sales (19), and manufacturing (17)—reflecting the capital-intensive, margin-focused nature of fresh-food distribution—while safety and compliance projects dominate the roadmap (ammonia refrigeration risk, fire certification, audit readiness).
Frescatto manufactures and distributes fresh seafood across Brazil through a network centered on its main facility in Duque de Caxias, Rio de Janeiro, plus four additional distribution points. The company operates two distinct go-to-market brands: Frescatto for foodservice clients and Buona Pesca for self-service retail channels. The workforce of approximately 1,200 spans production, logistics, sales, and operations across multiple geographies. Core product categories include salmon, shrimp, and other seafood offerings tailored to different customer segments and price points.
Frescatto uses Tableau, Power BI, and Qlik for analytics; Python and R for data processing; Salesforce and RD Station for CRM and marketing automation; and Microsoft 365 suite for office operations. The stack reflects emphasis on supply-chain visibility and sales performance monitoring.
Active projects include ammonia refrigeration safety training and risk assessment, fire safety certification, audit readiness for safety standards, S&OP process tool improvement, automation of analysis processes, and implementation of large-scale data comparison tools for operational insight.
