The history of FUGINI has always been based on serious and committed work. It began in 1996, as Food Industry Fugita, in the city of Monte Alto (SP), traditionally agroindustrial region. In 1998, it became a supplier of the Cica brand, wich is recognized for its quality reference in the market.
From 2003, it launched products with the FUGINI brand, licensed the Cica brand for jams, jellies and fruit in syrup and acquired a brand of great value - AMENDOCREM, becoming an important participant in the Brazilian market, operating from north to South of Brazil.
In July 2004, Fugita, owned by Mr. Kogi Fugita, in partnership with Auro Ninelli, changed its corporate name to FUGINI ALIMENTOS LTDA.
As a supplier of raw material, it strengthened its own brand, its product line and started to have a strong presence in the market, being among the leading brands in the supermarket channel. Today, FUGINI is one of the main food industries in Brazil and maintains the leadership in the segment of Tomato Sauces, with 39,8% market share (SUperHiper Meu Fornecedor 2017), and presents a wide mix of products such as sweets, jellies, creams , fruit in syrup, tomato sauces and ready to eat dishes, vegetables, among others.
Aware of the new trends, FUGINI pioneered and innovated in several aspects in the food sector:
- Pioneer in the use of packaging stand up pouch (sachet), in the segment of tomato sauces;
- Launch of the Ready Meals Fugini Line, which inaugurated a new category of products, combining high technology, consumer economy and practicality with a line of products without preservatives;
- The “Spreads Line” – Fugini’s halzenut cream with cocoa and Peanut Butter, which brought innovation in the cost-benefit ratio of the category;
- Jellies and Creamy Guava Fugini in stand up pouch, unprecedented product in this type of packaging;
- Fugini’s Vegetables Line, products with the same quality and daring of the other products of the brand, in unprecedented packaging and practical for diverse profiles of consumers.
- FUGINI is still an important producer of raw material and exporter of some items from its product line to several countries.
Always striving for quality, FUGINI has modern factories. In 2010 it inaugurated its new plant in Cristalina (GO), with 25,000 m² of production area and modern automation and manufacturing systems.
FUGINI's success story is only just beginning. Its consolidation in the market is a consequence of its unique ability to see the opportunities, to be daring and show how it is possible to do different and innovate.
