Our dream began with the business vision of Grupo Fortaleza's CEO and founder, Carlos Eduardo Simonetto. Born in the midwest of Santa Catarina, he ventured early on into São Paulo. In a short time he connected his region's demand for paper with the large amount of that material generated in São Paulo. That is where the Group's first business was born: buying and selling used paper.

Since 2005 we have grown and achieved a great deal. Our portfolio includes solutions and technology that enable a circular economy, from production to the correct disposal of all materials generated by the food industry.
