The company runs a sales-dominated hiring engine (163 open roles in sales vs. 16 in logistics) with accelerating velocity, signaling aggressive market expansion despite already reaching 95% of Brazilian municipalities through a 4,350-person sales force.

Founded in 1949 in Ponte Nova, Minas Gerais, the company relocated its headquarters to Contagem in the 1960s and built a state-of-the-art logistics hub with advanced automation, solar generation (10,000+ panels), and wastewater treatment since 2008. The product catalog spans over 35,000 items. Active projects focus on monthly and quarterly sales campaigns, customer portfolio management, and retention initiatives, while operational priorities center on expanding market penetration and reengaging inactive accounts.
