Our History

Every successful company has a story. Ours is built on experience, resilience, and a constant commitment to creating international business opportunities.

The history of MAJESTADE GROUP began in 1985, when our President, Itiro Tanabe, founded in the Rio de Janeiro, the first company of the group, specializing in the export of herbal teas, medicinal plants, beef-derived products, and decorative stones.

Only a few years later, in 1988, the company became the world's largest exporter of guaraná seeds, a milestone that reflected not only commercial success but also the entrepreneurial vision that continues to guide our business today.

The beginning of the 1990s brought one of the most challenging periods for Brazilian companies. Major economic reforms transformed the country's business environment, forcing organizations to rethink strategies, adapt quickly, and redefine their future.

Like many businesses of that time, we faced significant challenges. Rather than giving up, we chose to reinvent ourselves. Those years strengthened our resilience, broadened our market knowledge, and reinforced our belief that every challenge creates new opportunities.

During the second half of the 1990s, we expanded our international network, building strong business relationships based on trust, technical expertise, and a deep understanding of global markets. These partnerships became the foundation for a new phase of growth.

Entering the 2000s, our portfolio expanded considerably. In addition to traditional exports, we began working with agricultural commodities such as coffee and vegetable oils, textile products including apparel and beachwear, as well as industrial raw materials for both import and export operations.

Over the following decades, MAJESTADE GROUP continued to evolve, serving companies of all sizes—including multinational corporations—and supplying Brazilian products to customers throughout South America, North America, Europe, and Asia.

Today, our expertise extends far beyond international trade. We develop business opportunities, connect reliable partners, coordinate international operations, and create long-term commercial relationships that generate value for everyone involved.

Looking toward the future, our commitment remains unchanged: to continue growing, expanding global partnerships, and helping businesses succeed in international markets.

Because our story is still being written.
