Minamel

HOW IT ALL BEGAN

It was in 1984 when our founder, Agenor S. Castagna, started activities with the opening of a timber company in the city of Içara, in the southern region of the country, in the state of Santa Catarina. Over time, noticing the movement of beekeepers around him, he understood the need to manufacture bee boxes to meet the demand of producers and contribute to the local economy. Two years later, in 1986, with his passion for bees already formed in his heart, Mr. Agenor installs his first own apiary, thus making beekeeping the main source of income for the family. At that moment, he began to buy and gather the production of several beekeepers in the region to resell in the most promising market at the time, the state of São Paulo.

NEW HORIZONS

Realizing the success of honey commercialization in the Southeast region of the country, Mr. Agenor decided to bring his own brand to Santa Catarina, founding in 1989 the company Minamel, whose name was inspired by his wife Luiza Mina Castagna.

With a great challenge in his hands, he began a constant search for the improvement of the objective that has walked with us for over 34 years.

THE MISSION CONTINUES

Seeking to be the most important honey brand in the country, since the 2000s we have been conquering more and more space in the national and international market. It was in 2001 that something very important happened: we became the pioneers in the export of honey in bulk. With the company's constant commercial expansion, taking our products to more than 20 Brazilian states and several continents, we are proud of the way in which we are recognized by our suppliers, partners, employees and customers. The result of a history that today continues to be written by its second generation, with an innovative look and a lot of perspective for the future.

OUR PASSION

We want to help you, consumers, to include more naturalness in your daily life, also helping the environment and not forgetting our society.

It is for these and many other reasons that we include the love for bees and the improvement day after day to continue the Minamel story.
