COASUL COOPERATIVA AGROINDUSTRIAL started out as a small commercial outlet in the city of Feliz, in the mid-1950s. An important step was taken in 1971 when Waldomiro Freiberger, the company’s founder formed the company with his brother Paulo. The partnership, Waldomiro
Freiberger & Cia Ltda., was very successful.
The entrepreneurs overcame even a fire that destroyed a large part of the company. In fact, they used the fire as a springboard to continue growing. The building, which served as COASUL COOPERATIVA AGROINDUSTRIAL’s headquarters for a long time, was built in 1973, in the city of Feliz. Two years later, Waldomiro and Paulo started raising chickens, as well as selling live ones, until 1980, when they incorporate a slaughterhouse in the district of Vila Cristina, in Caxias do Sul.
In 1996 there was a new step in the company’s expansion, when the company changed its institutional structure and set up a new brand: COASUL COOPERATIVA AGROINDUSTRIAL, which it remained for 20 years until they redesigned the logo, to become COASUL COOPERATIVA AGROINDUSTRIAL. Since then, the brand has become a symbol of quality, which is a testament to its products and services.
Another important indicator of its success was the modern logistics unit, built-in São Sebastião do Caí in 2004, which then operated as a Distribution Center for the poultry products, which continued to be processed in Vila Cristina. Inevitably the investment and development continued and, since 2009, the company has been operating from a new, modern Meatpacking Plant next to the DC in São Sebastião do Caí, where about 180 tons of finished product is processed every day: 40% chilled products and 60%
frozen.
In addition to the Meatpacking Plant, COASUL COOPERATIVA AGROINDUSTRIAL has its headquarters in downtown Feliz, where the Feed Factory and Farm Store have continued to operate up to the present day. The store serves most of the farmers in the region, encouraging agriculture and preserving its family, cultural and commercial bonds, since the time it launched its activities in 1950.
