2. WHEN
THE COMPANY
MERGES WITH
THE FAMILY
When I recall the memories of my father Emílio, my grandfather
Manuel and my great-grandfather Sebastian, who founded the
company in 1853, I am filled with saudade and great pride of this
love affair: Ramirez & Cª (Filhos), SA.
I remember my father’s affection and commitment to his factories,
to the well-being of his employees, and to protecting the compa-
ny’s good reputation. From him, who guided me morally and pro-
fessionally, I learned that my grandfather and great-grandfather
had had a similar passion and defended the same principles. And
that, for me, explains our reality!
Only Man can give scope and life to a project. Empty fish mar-
kets, without boats, are desolate and sad places, which even the
seagulls forsake. Factories at a standstill are humid and nostalgic
spaces, devoid of any life or human warmth. Each one of us de-
pends on the work of our neighbour. Therefore, my gratitude goes
to the people of the sea, who bravely fish for us; as well as all our
staff, who with endeavour and enthusiasm, have shared the work
and successes with us; and also our clients, for the preference
and loyalty they have honoured us with.

3. WHEN
THE COMPANY
MERGES WITH
THE FAMILY
We have always tried to have a permanent prospective insight
into our market trends and those of world economy. Moreover,
to anticipate before the others, without that meaning to forecast
the future, is a requirement and an obligation of a company that
is responsible, modern and a leader. For business to develop, it
has always been important to know with accuracy, what new col-
lective habits were being generated in the community, what eco-
nomic and social needs were emerging, which force the company
to meet them at medium and long term.
Despite this complicated and competitive global market, as you
will see the following pages, the Ramirez family continues to cre-
ate conditions to face one more century. The dream lives on!
Message from the Chairman
Manuel Guerreiro Ramirez

4. ONE
COMPANY,
FIVE
GENERATIONS
In the Portuguese economy, the canning
of fish has occupied a relevant indisput-
able place. No one is in doubt as to the
national interest in the continuity of this in-
dustry that contributes to the social-eco-
nomic balance of countless fishing com-
munities along the Portuguese coast and
represents an important inflow of foreign
currency. While it is true that this indus-
try stamped its mark on the history and
development of many cities on the Portu-
guese coast, it is no less true that, from
among the companies that developed this
industrial activity, some do stand out, not
only for the quality of their products, but
above all for their strategic vision. Among
them is Ramirez & Cia (Filhos), SA – the
oldest cannery in the world in operation
– to whom competitive strategy, together
with a strong family desire to always do
more and better, forms a structural vector
of its long life.
From Vila Real de Santo António (VRSA) to
Matosinhos, passing through Olhão, Albu-
feira, Setúbal and Peniche, the industrial
and commercial activity of Ramirez is full
of remarkable events. As the first cannery
to operate in the country, VRSA is granted
the statute of birthplace of the canning in-
dustry.
When it applied the principles discovered
by Nicholas Appert and, later, theorised by
Pasteur, it made fundamental changes in
the concept of food preservation in Por-
tugal. At the beginning of the last century,
Ramirez started exporting its products
and launched the first steam sardine fish-
ing galleon, the Nossa Senhora da Encar-
nação.
In the 30s, one of its managers was also a
pioneer in the corporative organisation of
the sector. In the 70s, the easy-open cans
came into being as a result of its present
owner’s, Manuel Guerreiro Ramirez, ob-
sessive desire to serve well.

5. More than one hundred and sixty years later,
several million tons of cans, a great family
mission of knowledge, endeavour and per-
severance - this is the portrait of Ramirez &
Cia (Filhos), SA - one of the few fifth genera-
tion family companies, that it rose above and
grew during the unrest of scores of revolu-
tions, the fall of empires and two world wars.
Always accustomed to overcoming the ad-
versities, Ramirez possesses enough self-
confidence to face the challenges and op-
portunities of this new millennium. It is a
company dedicated to constant modernisa-
tion, and the assets of its brands are proof of
that: permanent commitment to technologi-
cal innovation and quality control of the prod-
ucts are the pillars for a mutual relationship of
trust with the clients.
Credibility gives the world. This is why
Ramirez invests today in the robotization of
its plants. An innovative device of artificial
vision, which increases the levels of qual-
ity control of the cans, and a line of robotic
packaging and palletizing which allows sav-
ing time and favour new product presenta-
tions, benefits the performance of Ramirez in
one of the most critical management indica-
tors, time…
In a context of global economic crisis, the
acquisition of a plot of land in Matosinhos to
build a new plant is underway and will con-
solidate the strategy of continuous innova-
tion of the Ramirez brand.
With Ramirez, the past meets the future: ro-
bots team up precision with tradition.

VEGETABLE OIL
Tuna in Vegetable Oil is
Ramirez’s flagship product,
which was introduced to
Portugal for the first time in

SARDINE
SEGMENT
SARDINES IN VEGETABLE
OIL
Canned Sardines in
Vegetable Oil is a traditional
product in Portuguese
cuisine, which Ramirez
has proudly produced
since the middle of the
19th Century. The sardine
is the most popular fish
in the Mediterranean
diet, recommended by
nutritionists all over the
world principally for its
high Omega-3 content, a
polyunsaturated fatty acid,
which protects the heart
and helps reduce the risk
of heart attacks, controlling
cholesterol levels in the
blood.
SARDINES IN TOMATO
SAUCE
For those that like canned
foods but like to vary the
way they consume them,
Ramirez has its Sardines in
Tomato Sauce, produced
with the best ingredients
and the reddest and ripest
tomatoes from a farm in
the Alentejo where that
exceptional quality is grown.
The tomato is a source of
vitamins A, B and C, which
give it properties as a body
fortifier and blood purifier,
which allow it to fight liver
illnesses, mental tiredness
and digestive disorders.
SPICED SARDINES IN
VEGETABLE OIL
Canned Sardines in
Vegetable Oil is a traditional
product in Portuguese
cuisine. Ramirez also makes
this variety, in which one
whole chilli pepper is added
to each can, to give the
sardines a spicy tang, much
loved by its aficionados.
The fresh fruit of the whole
chilli used by Ramirez
brings a fuller flavour to the
sauce, compared to the
chilli powder used by most
brands.
SPICED SARDINES IN
TOMATO SAUCE
For those who appreciate
good canned fish but like to
vary the way they consume
it, Ramirez offers its Sardines
in Tomato Sauce, made
with the best ingredients
and the reddest and most
mature tomatoes, from an
Alentejo farm specializing
in these exceptional quality
tomatoes.
SARDINES
IN OLIVE OIL
A typically Portuguese
product, Ramirez
Sardines in Olive Oil is
prepared with two items
considered fundamental to
a Mediterranean diet: the
sardine, indispensible for
protein, and olive oil, a key
source of fat.
