We Distribute Trust,freshness and quality in every delivery.
At Ferreira da Silva, we believe that the fruit sector needs more than suppliers: it needs trusted partners who ensure quality, consistency, and availability throughout the year.
This is the role we assume every day. With over 60 million euros in annual sales, we are today one of the leading distributors of fruit products in the Iberian Peninsula. We operate from a 20,000 m² warehouse, with capacity for 5,000 pallets, supported by 800 m² of offices and specialized teams that ensure efficiency across the entire operation.
Our presence in the wholesale markets of MARL (Lisbon) and MAC (Coimbra) allows us to stay close to customers and partners, responding quickly and reliably to the sector’s needs.
The right fruit, at the right time,
with precision and trust.
Over three decades of growth
with the fruit sector.
Ferreira da Silva, S.A. was founded on February 19, 1988, in Vale da Murta, Torres Vedras. The choice was no coincidence: the Oeste region is one of the country’s most important fruit-growing hubs, with a high density of retail trade and close proximity to leading producers and companies in the sector.
In 1993, the current partners acquired full ownership of the company, initiating a phase of expansion marked by investment in specialized human resources, new facilities, a company fleet, and technology. This investment allowed the company to consolidate its position in the domestic market and expand its horizons internationally.
In 2002, the transformation into a public limited company, with a share capital of €2,500,000, strengthened the company’s structure. In 2013, this amount was increased again to €3,000,000, confirming a trajectory of sustained growth and long-term vision.
Trust, rigor, and commitment
in everything we do.
We believe that strong relationships and transparency are the foundation for creating value for customers, suppliers, and partners.
Quality as a priority
Respect for customers and suppliers
Rigor and professionalism
Partnerships that break barriers and ensure freshness all year round.
To ensure that our customers have access to fresh fruit at any time of the year, we have developed a global network of partners that transcends borders and seasonal limitations.
With a strong presence in Latin America, these partnerships allow us to maintain permanent and diversified stock, while supporting local producers to expand their activities and explore new markets.
Many of these collaborations have evolved into true co-development relationships, where we share know-how and create joint solutions to meet the demands of national and international markets.
