JBS, one of the largest food companies in the world, celebrated its recent listing on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) with the traditional opening bell ringing ceremony and presented its global growth and value creation strategy. The event brought together members of the financial community for a presentation at the NYSE, in which JBS leadership highlighted priorities and opportunities in its operations around the world.
Before the presentation, JBS executives marked the moment by ringing the opening bell – an honor personally performed by José Batista Sobrinho, known as Zé Mineiro, founder of JBS. Zé Mineiro founded the company in 1953, in Anápolis, state of Goiás, from a small butcher’s shop. More than 70 years later, JBS has grown into a global company that continues to honor its roots by feeding people all over the world.
“This is the beginning of an exciting new chapter for JBS”, said global CEO Gilberto Tomazoni. “Our recent listing at NYSE is the result of the hard work of our teams in every region where we operate and positions JBS even better to realize our goal of being the world’s leading food company. Through key growth projects, JBS can meet the strong consumer demand for high-quality proteins and strengthen the win-win relationships we have with our producer partners. We are grateful for the opportunity to connect with our US-based investors and look forward to continuing to deliver on our vision of feeding a growing world, while building a better future for our employees and the communities where we operate,” said Tomazoni.
Before the bell ringing ceremony, Wesley Batista, JBS’s controlling shareholder, gave a short speech to guests and investors. “Even with growth and adaptation, our way of working remains the same. We are focused. We are disciplined. We are determined to be the best in everything we do,” he said, in a message that reflected the company’s mission and its ongoing commitment to operational excellence in all regions.
In a presentation to over 100 analysts and investors, JBS executives detailed the company’s long-term strategy for growth and value creation, highlighting key areas for investment in its global operations. Wesley Batista (controlling shareholder), Wesley Batista Filho (CEO of JBS USA), Gilberto Tomazoni (Global CEO) and Guilherme Cavalcanti (Global CFO) conducted the presentation.
