THE HISTORY OF A GREEN AND YELLOW GIANT

Granol was born in april 1964, founded by Mr. Germano Guido Baldi, Mr. José Gomes Cadette, and Mr. João Serdan D`Alarico. Without employees, with borrowed tables, in a 43m² rented room in the Palácio do Comércio building, on 24 de maio Street, downtown, São Paulo. From Contibrasil (Continental Grain New York Group), with a bold and entrepreneurial vision, they started the new business. At the time, Mr. Gomes and Mr. João were only 25 years old. Until 1971, Granol was a commodity trading company, and from 1972 it started industrial activities byacquiring its first peanut and soybean processing factory in Junqueirópolis city. In 1974, Granolincreased its industrial activities by acquiring another industrial unit in Tupã city. The company begins its expansion process and market achievement, becoming one of the largest manufacturers of bran and vegetable oils in Brazil. With modernization programs and technological innovations, Granol defined its market position as a responsible company, concerned about the environment, its community, and employees, thus determining its institutional values.

With the acquisition of Junqueirópolis and Tupã units, Granol adds the industrial activities of grain processing and oil refining to the commodities trading, the beginning of a growing industrial expansion.
In 1982, the Osvaldo Cruz unit became part of the Granol group with the purchase of S.A. Romanini Vegetable Oil Industry, expanding Granol’s soybean and soybean oil production, distinguished by including a rail link in the Fepasa Paulista S.A. grid.
