In 1965, the first BRASIF company was born, and its creation also gave birth to the principle that would guide us today: respect for the customer.

Thanks to this philosophy, our company´s activities, initially focused on iron and steel metallurgy products, have spread out to several different segments including agriculture, distribution and rental of heavy machinery and office equipment, real estate, investment funds management, among others.

From 1979 to the early days of 2006, BRASIF was a leading player in the retail segment inside Brazilian airports (with the BRASIF Duty Free and BRASIF Shopping stores), being, for some time, the top company on that sector in all Americas, also with a high degree of satisfaction among its millions of customers.

Following the recent sale of its retail operations, BRASIF will focus on financial investments through its financial arm, Meta Asset Management; the real estate business, through a series of partnerships; the heavy machinery business, with the distribution by BRASIF Máquinas and rental by BRASIF Rental; and the agricultural business, with the development of elite cattle at the Mata Velha farms, the participation in Da Mata, that is building sugarcane and ethanol processing plants, and the animal genetic development services offered by General laboratory in partnership with Embrapa.

Along with its commercial activities, BRASIF also promotes social and cultural actions, such as establishing centers of technical education for young and underprivileged students, working for a better and fair future.

That´s BRASIF´s contribution for the development of Brazil, continuing our history of pioneering innovation and corporate success.
