The latest food and beverage industry news and trend analysis

TAGAT Foodtech has officially launched its operations today, establishing a consolidated solutions ecosystem designed to digitise the entire animal protein supply chain.

The new entity is the result of the strategic union between EDATA and SAG, originally announced on 12 June 2025. The brand launch marks the formal commencement of the merger process, positioning the company as a comprehensive "one-stop shop" for producers ranging from farm to processing facility.

Operational Scope and Technology

TAGAT Foodtech aims to move beyond the traditional software provider model. The platform is engineered to centralise production needs across multiple protein verticals—specifically poultry, swine, beef cattle, and aquaculture.

The ecosystem integrates advanced technology layers, including Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Internet of Things (IoT) connectivity. This architecture is designed to ensure data governance, traceability, and operational efficiency across the value chain.

Strategic Expansion and R&D

The group's positioning is bolstered by a strategy of aggressive expansion. Prior to this official launch, the group strengthened its customer base through the acquisition of AVECOM.

Furthermore, TAGAT has established a dedicated Research & Innovation Business Unit. This R&D hub is tasked with anticipating sector demands and accelerating the evolution of the ecosystem's capabilities.

Leadership and Heritage

The new company combines significant industry heritage: SAG brings 26 years of agribusiness expertise, while EDATA contributes 35 years of global industrial experience.

Edgard Trevisan, founder of EDATA and now CEO of TAGAT Foodtech, commented on the shift in value proposition:

"We moved from being providers of isolated systems to delivering an integrated ecosystem. TAGAT Foodtech offers the breadth needed to simplify the customer's operation, ensuring data governance, traceability, and access to innovation through a single solution."

Sidiney Tartari, founder of SAG, has assumed the role of Chief Commercial Officer (CCO).
