Ahead of the investor event, JBS executives marked the occasion by ringing the opening bell — an honor personally conducted by Mr. José Batista Sobrinho, known as Zé Mineiro, the founder of JBS. Mr. Zé Mineiro established the company in 1953 in Anápolis, Goiás, starting from a small butcher shop. The company’s name, JBS, carries his initials — a lasting tribute to its origins.

“This is the beginning of an exciting new chapter for JBS,” said JBS CEO Gilberto Tomazoni. “Our recent listing on the NYSE is the culmination of incredibly hard work of teams in every corner of our global organization and better positions JBS to fulfill our ambitions to be the world’s leading food company. Through key growth projects, JBS can meet the strong consumer demand for high-quality proteins and build on the win-win relationships we have established with our producer partners. We are grateful for the opportunity to engage with our U.S.-based investors and look forward to continuing to showcase our vision to feed a growing world, while creating a better future for our team members and the communities in which we operate.”

Before the bell-ringing ceremony, Mr. Wesley Batista, controlling shareholder of JBS, delivered a brief speech to guests and investors. “While we grow and adapt, our way of working remains the same. We are focused. We are disciplined. We are determined to be the best in all that we do,” he said — a message that reflects the company’s mission and enduring commitment to operational excellence across its global operations.

Speaking to an audience of more than 100 analysts and investors, JBS presented its long-term growth and value creation strategy, key areas of investment across its global operations. The presentation was led by Wesley Batista, controlling shareholder of JBS; Wesley Batista Filho, CEO of JBS USA; Gilberto Tomazoni, Global CEO; and Guilherme Cavalcanti, Global CFO.
