Our History
Since 1980, we have brought innovation and pioneering spirit to the work with sugarcane.
1980
Cocal Foundation
In the city of Paraguaçu Paulista/SP, we started our activities by the hands of Carlos Arruda Garms, as a family and 100% national company.
1994
Start of the sugar production
We expanded our operations, incorporating the sugar production into our activities.
2002
Energy cogeneration
In addition to the production of ethanol and sugar, we also started to include the electricity cogeneration in our activities, a pioneering initiative at the time, with an increase in the yield of the thermoelectric plant at the unit of Paraguaçu Paulista/SP.
2008
Inauguration of the Narandiba unit
We expanded territorially with the construction of a second unit in Narandiba/SP, a poorly developed city at the time. Thus, we strengthened our purpose of generating jobs, income, and development in the west of São Paulo state.
2018
Ethanol innovation and expansion committee
The year of 2018 witnessed the creation of the Innovation Committee, mapped in the strategic planning of 2017, becoming responsible for centralizing and standardizing the work focused on this area. Also, in this year we expanded our ethanol production capacity.
2020
Recognition and new projects
Our concern with the positive impact of our activities was recognized with the achievement of the Renovabio certification. We also launched the Connectivity Project, which expanded the internet connection in the agricultural areas where we operate, enabling the use of technology for management of processes.
2021
New products
We further expanded our business and started producing biogas, green CO2 (food grade), and dry yeast. This way, we reduce our carbon footprint and strengthen our performance within the concept of circular economy, reaffirming our commitment to sustainability.
Our partners
No one gets far alone. Therefore, we work together with a network of partners, institutions and entities from different sectors to expand our positive impacts, generate development and opportunities in our regions of operation, and share the benefits of sugarcane.
