ABOUT US

Friguarda became an independent company in the early 1990s. Until then, it operated as a regional distributor of seafood and vegetable products from the popular brand Frip. Over the years, we have expanded our operations while remaining true to what defines us: a 100% family-owned and family-run company dedicated to connecting quality food products with consumers.

Today, we rely on a team of around 60 employees and a fleet of around 25 distribution vehicles, ensuring nationwide coverage. We operate from various facilities across Portugal, including our own in Loures — our main logistics hub — and are currently preparing a new, modern, and sustainable facility that will replace our original headquarters in Guarda, which is still in operation. In the Algarve region, we operate under the name Guardagarve, based in Vilamoura.

Our product portfolio has also grown significantly. To better respond to market needs, we have expanded our range to include meats, desserts, ready-to-cook products, and other food solutions. We are an official distributor of leading international brands such as Bonduelle (vegetables), El Rey del Pulpo (octopus), McCain (prepared foods), and Riberalves (codfish).

In addition to our distribution network serving restaurants, hotels, and resellers, we are also present in the retail market with four stores in the Porto Metropolitan Area — the Ongel stores. This is also our private label brand, under which we are fully committed to product quality and traceability.
