The JKS

Sustainability and economy. These are the words that have guided us since we entered the agricultural sector in 2003.

Since then, the company has been selling its products both in the Brazilian market and in more than 20 countries worldwide. In total, over 15 million trays have been sold, establishing the company as a reference in the sector.
