With persistence, dedication and strong entrepreneurial vision were made, at that moment, the first steps that resulted in what is today among the main national companies of grain processing and export. From north to south of Brazil, over these five decades and anchored in solid values, Caramuru expanded its performance in Brazilian territory. Currently, it is present in five Brazilian states, with 64 warehouses, in addition to terminals, factories and units in several municipalities in the country. As a result of its constant investments in the personal development, in the relationship with rural producers and in the search for innovative and sustainable technologies, the company became a reference in the area of processing soybean, corn, sunflower and canola, thus conquering national and international markets.
