Familiar Enterprise

Frigorífico Pando’s is a company with familiar capital and operation. While maintaining the values and characteristics of the Uruguayan tradition in the production of quality meat, we remain looking for new technologies applicable to beef industrialization.



Certified production systems

Aligned with the worldwide tendencies, Frigorífico Pando is immersed on Uruguayan’s program for the certification of natural meat. This program’s basis is traceability.




  • Born in 1955, it remained focused on the Uruguayan market until 1992, when Roberto Urgal and Daniel Passanante became the directors of the slaughterhouse and decided to expand horizons, reaching international markets. An arduous work was started based on constant renewal and continuous improvement.

    Due to new technologies and process improvement, Frigorífico Pando has been able to export to markets with high exigencies since 1996.

    The plant currently has all the required qualifications, including the exportation to all of the markets with which Uruguay has sanitary agreements.
