Brand growth in the food market increasingly relies on smart expansion strategies and solid partnerships with major retail chains. Against this backdrop, Açaí Food announces a major partnership with Grupo Mateus, expanding the presence of the *Açaízinho* brand within one of Brazil's largest retail ecosystems.

This collaboration marks a significant step forward for both companies, linking food-sector innovation with a well-established, highly efficient retail infrastructure.

Founded in the interior of Maranhão, Grupo Mateus has built a track record defined by constant expansion and a strong regional presence. Over the course of 38 years, the company has established itself as one of Brazil's top three retail chains, currently operating more than 490 locations across nine states.

The group’s presence across various regions ensures close proximity to millions of consumers, offering a wide range of products and services that meet everyday needs.

This growth stems from a strategy combining efficient management, market insight, and continuous investment in infrastructure and technology.

A key differentiator for Grupo Mateus is its logistics infrastructure. With strategically located distribution centers and its own fleet, the company ensures rapid store restocking and efficient demand fulfillment.

Technological innovation has been fundamental in sustaining the company's rapid growth.

More than just a commercial partnership, the alliance between Açaí Food and Grupo Mateus represents a convergence of food industry innovation and retail operational excellence.

By combining the logistical strength and extensive reach of a major chain with a product that is winning over consumers nationwide, the partnership unlocks new growth opportunities and strengthens the market.

Thus, both companies continue to advance their expansion strategies, bringing more flavor, convenience, and quality to the shopping experience of millions of Brazilians.
