Food and Beverage

The Portuguese Food Industry is one of the industries with the greatest weight in our country's economy, standing out in recent years for its positive evolution, both in terms of turnover and exports.

This positive development is the result of innovation, quality, and food safety.

The optimization of food distribution processes and the focus on sustainability have translated into a clear increase in the international recognition of the Portuguese Food Industry.

The main trends that will mark the future of the agri-food sector worldwide are directly linked to product quality and environmental concerns.

Consumers are increasingly concerned about the impact of food on their health, while at the same time worrying about their responsibility to the planet.

The refrigeration and freezing used in this sector are major energy consumers, as they are essential for maintaining the freshness and quality of food.

There is therefore a great opportunity for companies in the food industry to take the decarbonization route. Producing solar energy for self-consumption, implementing energy efficiency measures or energy management are the natural evolution of these companies to make them not only more sustainable but also more competitive.
