DR Flavors & Ingredients concluded its participation in Tecnocarne 2026 with positive results in relationship building, opportunity generation, and strengthening its position within the animal protein value chain. Throughout the three-day event, the company welcomed customers, partners, and prospective clients at its booth, located across from the Meat Showcase in the Innovative Ingredients Island, a space it sponsored during this year’s edition.
At a fair traditionally focused on equipment, processing technologies, and packaging, DR was among the few ingredient suppliers in attendance. The company showcased the breadth of its portfolio for beef, pork, poultry, and seafood applications, highlighting solutions developed to meet consumer demands for convenience, health and wellness, protein enrichment, and flavor development.
“Tecnocarne exceeded our expectations. It was an important opportunity to showcase the breadth of our solutions and strengthen our position as a trusted partner to the animal protein industry,” said Marco Henriques, Marketing Director at DR Flavors & Ingredients.
One of the highlights was the company’s presence in the Meat Showcase. During the first two days of the fair, Chef Manoela Lebron prepared a Pulled Pork with Barbecue Sauce recipe using DR ingredients. The presentations drew full crowds to the demonstration arena and helped bridge the gap between culinary applications and the technologies developed for the industry. “The goal was to demonstrate how the trends we observe in the market can be translated into practical applications for different segments of the animal protein industry,” summarized Ana Cristina de Oliveira, Technical Sales Coordinator at DR Flavors & Ingredients, who accompanied the culinary presentations.
The presence of highly influential decision-makers, including directors, business owners, industrial managers, and specialists in quality, engineering, and product development, was another highlight of the fair for DR, as explained by Cristiane Gaboardi Testoni, Flavor Marketing Coordinator. “Tecnocarne brings together an exceptionally qualified audience. We had a busy booth throughout the event, welcoming customers, partners, and prospective distributors ranging from small businesses to some of the industry’s key players. This direct interaction is essential for understanding our customers’ needs and presenting solutions that are aligned with the market’s challenges and opportunities.”
Held in São Paulo, Tecnocarne 2026 brought together companies, experts, and industry leaders from across the animal protein value chain to showcase technologies, ingredients, equipment, and key industry trends. For DR, its participation reinforced the company’s close connection with the industry and demonstrated its ability to support customers end-to-end in the development of solutions for different product categories and protein sources.
