The energy to be delivered to Grupo Mateus stores will enable investment in new capacity by Omega Desenvolvimento in the region, a successful example of infrastructure and consumption working together to generate opportunities in the Northeast. With this deal, the energy that will supply new stores in the Northeast will be 100% renewable, generated by Omega’s wind farms, most of which are located in the state of Maranhão.

Grupo Mateus’ investment will represent significant savings for the company and will prevent the emission of more than 120,000 tons of CO2 per year. Omega Geração’s CEO, Antonio Bastos, celebrates being part of Grupo Mateus’ sustainability strategy. According to him, like Omega, the retail chain believes in doing business that values Brazil and bets on the potential of the Northeast.

About Grupo Matheus

Grupo Mateus was born from the persistence of a former mechanical lathe operator, gold miner, and cachaça salesman from Imperatriz, Maranhão. The year was 1986 when Ilson Mateus opened a small grocery store with only 50 m² in the city of Balsas. It would be the beginning of a 34-year story marked by his entrepreneurial vision and the tireless work of a team that now exceeds 30,000 people.

Today, Grupo Mateus is the largest food retail chain in Brazil with 100% national capital. They operate in supermarket retail, wholesale, appliances, furniture, baking, slicing and portioning centers. In 34 years of history, they have consolidated their brand among the largest in the country and the largest in the North and Northeast. They serve nearly 20,000 points of sale with the help of 1,750 wholesale sales representatives. They are present with 54 stores in the states of Maranhão, Pará, and Piauí.
