The President of Cooparaiso and Brazilian Federal Deputy, Carlos Melles, received the International Quality Crown Award in London, from the President of Business Initiative Directions, Jose E. Prieto.
Cooparaiso, awarded International Quality Crown by Business Initiative Directions, is one of the largest cooperatives in Brazil and one of the biggest companies in the agricultural sector, an area that represents a third part of the country’s Gross Domestic Product.
Cooparaiso has managed to give support to the coffee production sector, one of the main driving forces of the Brazilian economy. The company has continuously striven to maintain the production levels and to find new ways to publicize the company’s products and services through the development of calendars that can assure the sales will be planned and organized.
All this work is carried out thanks to courses, training sessions, meetings, and technical encounters between employees and clients. Cooparaiso bases its work on cooperation and on constant improvement of its services.
More than 4,000 people comprise this cooperative, which has an income of almost US$ 100 million. Its achievements have made the company grow in its sector and country, and have also brought Cooparaiso the BID Award for Quality, which symbolizes business success and leadership.
