FS was founded as a result of a long-term vision and entrepreneurship between two separate groups, which combined their American expertise in ethanol production from corn and the strength of the Brazilian agribusiness. This partnership led to the country’s first plant 100% dedicated to producing ethanol from corn, along with animal nutrition products, technical-grade corn oil and electrical energy derived from biomass.
Operations began in June 2017, with an initial capacity of 200 million liters of ethanol annually. Since then, FS has been expanding its capacity and industrial plants.
Today, we operate in Lucas do Rio Verde, Sorriso, and Primavera do Leste, in the state of Mato Grosso, establishing FS as a reference in technology, productivity, and sustainability in bioenergy.
