Spa Group. In 2007, Cremonini Spa and the Brazil-
ian group JBS SA established a strategic alliance
and Inalca’s new company name became in 2008
Inalca JBS Spa.
It was the first national company in the beef produc-
tion sector and its mission is to strive for excellence
in beef. The company carries out integrated industri-
al activities covering all working and transformation
processes in this sector and is present on all main
international markets.
Inalca Angola has been present in Angola since the
beginning of the 80s, but in 2004 it started to build its
own local distribution centre, purchasing an area of
12,000 square meters, located 5 km from the centre
of Luanda. Since it was founded, Inalca Angola has
grown.
The new 7,000 m2 distribution centre has a capac-
ity of 8,500 tons for frozen goods and 10,000 tons
for dry goods, and includes offices, guest quarters
and a cash & carry for the sale of milk-derived prod-
ucts. The plant also carries out meat processing and
mincing operations.
Inalca Spa has recently acquired another 8,000 m2
piece of land in Lobito, where a new 5,000 m2 distri-
bution centre has been built. Lobito is an extremely
strategic city thanks to its important commercial port,
and is second only to Luanda in terms of growth rate.
The new distribution centre has a capacity of 4,000
tons for frozen goods and 5,000 tons for dry goods.
The main business segments are:
Traditional market: distribution of commodities, ba-
sic dry and frozen products to the open markets of
Luanda and other cities.
Food service: sales and distribution of a wide
range of products (fresh, frozen and dry) to the
HORECA market and to local and international
suppliers.
Trade to retail: sales of products to the expanding
retail market, direct management of the meat de-
partments in the Jumbo supermarket chain.
In the last few years, Inalca Angola has become the
market leader in importation of frozen beef, fish and
beef offals. With the new storage capacity, Inalca An-
gola is planning to consolidate this position in other
product categories.
The primary strengths of Inalca Angola are its expe-
rience in the market and the quality of its products
and services.
In addition, Inacla Angola invests heavily in educat-
ing its local employees by transferring the knowledge
of foreign professionals who have more experience
in this relatively new sector in Angola.
“Angola has fertile land, water and good weather; all
the necessary conditions to invest in the agro-indus-
trial production sector”

Induve, one of Angola’s biggest plants in agro indus-
try, is involved in edible oil and corn flour milling. At
the beginning of its activity in 1972 during the colo-
nial period, Induve belonged to a Portuguese Group.
Later on, the State took control of the factory for a
while, before it was privatized again to be consoli-
dated. At that time, Induve was the unique producer
of vegetable oil in the country and supported the pro-
duction for the national market.
In 2005 the “new Induve”, belonging to an Italian
group, produces flour up to more than 40% of the
