Agribusiness
Since its founding, the Telles Group has been rooted in agribusiness. Today, that legacy is carried on by Agropaulo and Ceará Mirim Agroindustrial, which use cutting‑edge technologies to produce commodities, probiotics, bio‑inputs and anhydrous alcohol for a variety of markets across Brazil’s Northeast.
Beverage Industry
As market leaders in Ceará, Naturágua and Natucoco belong to the Telles Group’s portfolio. Renowned for their outstanding quality, these 100% natural products contain no additives and are manufactured using eco‑sustainable processes.
Packaging Industry
Backed by a robust ESG agenda and strong socio‑environmental commitments, Santelisa pioneered the production of cardboard‑scrap packaging in Ceará. Yplastic—another Group company—also stands out for its cutting‑edge technology, superior quality and sophisticated designs.
Services
Through Ypetro, Grupo Telles operates in the fuel distribution sector, storing and supplying ethanol, gasoline and biodiesel from its stations in Ceará, Pernambuco and Rio Grande do Norte. The Group also shines with iPark Complexo Turístico, Ceará’s largest outdoor adventure park.
