November 06 2009 - Being able to consolidate storage and serve as a distribution point for the new Brazil Foods in the southern State of Rio Grande do Sul represents a plus in Standard Logística’s business.
A partnership with former Perdigão started with the distribution of the milk brand Elegê but increased with Perdigão’s new acquisitions and own brand expansion including Batavo Milk, Batavo Meats, Avipal, Unileite, in addition to Perdigão Meats.
Standard's revenue at the Esteio unit that serves Rio Grande do Sul state is expected to grow 10% this year with storage activity alone. Overall, Standard expects to increase its revenues by 33% to R$120 million in 2009 compared to 2008.
Partnership with Brazil Foods made monthly storage activity increase to 15 thousand tons, three times higher than 2008. There are about 25 thousand deliveries per month, with Sadia and Perdigão retaining its own brand characteristics of marketing and distribution.
The expected merger between Sadia and Perdigão, still awaiting a decision from CADE -Administrative Council of Economic Defense- is celebrated by Standard. The company also has Sadia as customer (among Nestlé, Unilever, Carrefour and others) but the merger with Perdigão means logistic gains.
