Founded in 1991 by brothers André and Luiz Eduardo Rezende, Prática Produtos SA is a company dedicated to the development and manufacturing of innovative equipment for the food service and bakery sectors. With over three decades of experience, we have built a strong reputation in the Brazilian market and expanded our international presence, exporting to more than 45 countries. While our foundation remains in Brazil, we now have branches in Chile, the United States, and Germany.
With a long-term vision, we are committed to delivering high-quality solutions that meet our clients' needs while promoting innovation, efficiency, and sustainability. Prática Produtos SA believes that the company's success is rooted in the success of all our stakeholders: clients, employees, suppliers, and partners. For this reason, we continuously work to enhance our products and services, maintaining ethical, transparent management focused on excellence.
We are guided by strong values that reinforce our commitment to trust, mutual respect, and collaboration. We continually invest in new technologies and foster a work environment that encourages ongoing development, always with a vision of building a solid and prosperous future for everyone.
Located in the city of Pouso Alegre, in the south of the state of Minas Gerais, Prática’s industrial park is a 46.362 m², high-tech facility with highly qualified and specialized development, engineering, and production teams, always ready to create with innovation, improve with vision, and produce with speed and precision.
Prática's purpose is to help its customers prepare high-quality food without waste. This purpose, which is also a commitment, unfolds in three complementary dimensions: well-being, productivity, and preservation.It is important that all of us at Prática know that working well and fulfilling our purpose will enable us to help bring well-being to people, as well as development opportunities to our customers and, in addition, do our part in preserving the only home we have: the planet Earth.
The first one, well-being, is related to the individual, the one who consumes the food prepared using Prática’s equipment and solutions. People’s well-being is, for the most part, the result of providing a healthy and nutritious diet to our biological machine, restricting the excess of elements that may be harmful to our bodies. Well-being is also reflected through moments of sensory pleasure and socialization, where cuisine is a fundamental element in virtually all cultures. Our solutions and equipment favor the preservation of nutrients, reduce the use of oil, and enhance colors, textures, and flavors, providing people with a more pleasurable eating experience. Nutrition and cooking, science and art: these are elements that will find support in the technology we provide.
The increased productivity and performance provided by our solutions and equipment has a direct impact on customer results and the profitability of their businesses. Better use of labor, reduction of preparation times, reduction of food waste, in addition to water and energy savings are determining factors for a more efficient and profitable food-making operation. It is our commitment to help our customers in all these aspects with the products and services we provide.
The preservation of the planet for other species and future generations is imperative for all of us, human beings, both personally and institutionally. Much of humanity’s impact on the environment is due to the food needs of billions of people. Agriculture and livestock are the human activities that demand the most from areas where forests and other natural environments were originally located. On the other hand, more and more food are prepared in restaurants, industrial kitchens, hotels, schools, hospitals, bakeries, and other similar establishments that we serve. Therefore, by helping reduce waste, we are doing our part in limiting the harmful impact of human activity on nature.

The values of Prática Produtos were internally developed over time, based on our experiences and the culture we have cultivated. They are not just words but a management tool that guides our daily decisions and actions. We understand that memorizing all 12 values might be a challenge; however, more than just remembering them, our goal is for these values to be practically and consistently applied across all areas of the company. These values guide us in our pursuit of innovation, efficiency, and excellence, shaping the way we interact with clients, partners, and employees while helping us build a sustainable and successful future for everyone.
In a global market, competitiveness is essential for our growth and success. We strive to maintain our leadership position by constantly exceeding customer expectations and achieving our financial goals. Competitiveness also reflects our ability to continuously improve, explore new markets, and seize opportunities before the competition does.
The customer is at the center of all our actions; they are the ones who pay our bills. Our dedication goes beyond simply meeting their needs—we aim to surprise them with our attentiveness, creating a lasting relationship of trust and loyalty. We are committed to excellence in service, ensuring our products and services add real value to our clients' businesses, contributing to their success.
We believe all individuals deserve consideration and that relationships should be based on mutual respect. Actively listening and ensuring effective communication are fundamental principles for strengthening collaboration within the company and with our external partners. At Prática, we respect opinions and diversity, fostering a healthy and productive environment.
Quick decision-making and execution are crucial for survival and growth. In a dynamic and competitive environment, agility ensures that we are always ready to act, pivot when necessary, and respond rapidly to market demands. Agility allows us not only to keep up with changes but also to lead them, adapting our strategy and operations to meet current needs.
Commitment is vital for achieving our goals and maintaining our leadership position. It drives us to meet and exceed customer expectations and to ensure the company's continuous improvement, growth, and success.
Proactivity means being guided not by circumstances but by carefully selected values. It also involves anticipating problems and opportunities, facing challenges head-on, and taking action before situations escalate. Being proactive means staying alert to opportunities and leveraging them for the benefit of the company and its partners.
The drive for continuous improvement is the key to our evolution. In all aspects of our work, we strive to learn from mistakes and always improve—whether in developing new products, enhancing our processes, or fostering personal and professional growth within our team. We believe that every small improvement contributes to a more solid and successful future.
Innovation goes beyond incorporating new technologies; it involves constantly rethinking our processes, business models, and ways of interacting with customers. At Prática, we aim to do things differently, creating solutions that meet our clients' needs while helping us stand out in the market. Innovation is key to consistently delivering more value and remaining competitive.
Teamwork is the foundation of our culture. We recognize that people tend to support those who support them, and we use this natural tendency to our advantage and for the benefit of those around us. Within the company, we promote an environment of mutual collaboration where everyone is encouraged to support one another in achieving common goals. Externally, we strive to build long-lasting relationships with our partners, sharing knowledge and resources for mutual growth.
Transparency and ethics guide all our actions. Honesty and integrity are fundamental for building trust with our employees, clients, and suppliers. Acting with integrity also means staying true to our values, always striving to do what is right, even when it requires personal sacrifices.
The intelligent and efficient management of our resources is essential for the company's sustainability. Austerity means avoiding waste and focusing on efficiency by always seeking to optimize processes, reduce costs, and maximize the use of available resources. This enables us to maintain the company’s financial health and invest in sustainable, long-term growth.
We understand that no one achieves success alone. We recognize and appreciate the contributions of every team member, partner, and client. Gratitude fosters an environment of respect and motivation, where everyone feels valued and inspired to contribute to the collective well-being of the company.
