About Celena
Celena is a vertical company in the agribusiness chain.
It acts in all stages (focus on second crop crops) - canola, sunflower, high oleic sunflower and biscuit wheat - starting in the search for the best seeds and agronomic practices until the processing of the final product.
In the soy chain, we focus on the processing and packaging of oil for the sale of the packaging to the final consumer under our Lilac and Violet brands.
We are a family owned and operated business.
With a focus on the field, from the origination of these “safrinha” products, Celena seeks differentiated competitiveness based on its expertise in harvests of “non-commodities” products in the country.
With a well-implemented and profitable origination for the rural producer, the subsequent processing steps remain consistent and sustainable.
We recently incorporated tropical oils (palm kernel, palm stearin, ...) in our line of operation in order to complement our presence in the vegetable oil spectrum, adding tanking in the ports of Paranaguá and Santos.
In this view, we built in partnership with producers in Mato Grosso, Parecis S / A , an industry totally conceived as multi-seeds where in addition to soybeans we process sunflower and cottonseed.
Celena has been growing and overcoming challenges since 1998, consolidating its insertion in the market as a company of first choice for customers in the markets in which it operates.
