PODIUM ALIMENTOS
The cassava and derivatives market has been continuously transformed since the beginning of the 90s, when Ivo Pierin and his sons Paulo Sérgio Pierin and Ivo Pierin Júnior started their first starch factory in Tamboara, Paraná.
Strategically, in 1995 we envisioned a market repositioning and, using the technology proposed by Maurício Gehlen, we developed our first special modified starch, designed to bring standardization, quality and optimization to manufacturing processes in the cheese bread industries.
Since then, we have always been looking for technologies, professional training and developing solutions for our clients. No longer just focused on cheese bread, new markets were being explored within the universe of cassava derivatives and in addition to modified starches, we developed other products such as mixes, dehydrated cassava and fiber.
At the beginning of 2020, we dared to acquire a new plant, Podium Nordeste, which brought us greater business breadth and new specificities in starches entered our list of innovative products for dairy products, juices and sauces.
Always attentive to the new demands of the food market, we at Podium work to overcome our limits and become even better through the quality of our products, innovation, personalized service, socio-environmental responsibility and appreciation of our employees and partners.
