SMA FOOD TRADE WAS ESTABLISHED IN 2017, FOLLOWING FROM THE PREVIOUS EXPERIENCE OF SAN MICHELE ALIMENTARI (ITALY).  

We put one decade of experience at the service of companies and operators of the agri-food sector.

SMA Food Trade facilitates and supports its suppliers in the process of  internationalizing” their presence on the market, cooperating with zeal, passion and competence in breaking down barriers to access foreign markets.

One of our main intent is to support the purchasing offices of our client companies in the search for the most appropriate raw materials for their production, giving the possibility to safely expand and optimize their reference basin whenever it is needed.

Our distinctive elements are:

  • Completeness of service, which is not limited to identifying the best purchase or sale opportunity, but goes from the management of the commercial relationship between providers and customers, to the support in the logistics organization, the quality and documental management and the administrative recovery of payments.    

  • Solid partnerships or cooperation with hundreds of international transport companies and food warehouses specialized in the control of temperature of fresh and frozen merchandises
  • Our relationships with business partners are always governed by clear and scrupulous contracts that ensures quality, delivery time and possibilities of objection.

These are the characteristics that our partners have been able to rely on since the beginning of our history.

The activity of San Michele Alimentari started in 2014 in Italy.

It became SMA Food Trade in 2017, when the company’s headquarters were moved to Funchal, the capital of Madeira’s Island (Portugal).

Our headquarter is now in the very centre of the city.

Over the years, we have developed stable long-term cooperation with slaughterhouses, cutting plants and cold stores, including
renderings and collecting plants. We are currently representing several meat producing companies, mostly settled in Southern and Eastern Europe.

We have developed an affordable technical know-how regarding the preparation, the packaging, and the quality requirements of the products that we deliver. 
Daily collaboration with logistics companies, in order to find every time the most convenient loading fares, completes the picture of the skills and services on which our partners can rely.

Our most requested packaging methods are the naked blocks and the plates, in view of the fact that, if performed in a perfectly safe manner, they are fairly convenient, less expensive and easy to manage solutions to pack at all stages involved in the value chain.

Let's build something great. Together.
