History
decade 70
Created in the 1970s by Fernando Tavares Pereira’s entrepreneurial vision and his pioneering activity in the metalworking sector, the Tavfer Group has kept asserting itself, modernizing and growing, successfully following a series of successive market changes and new consumer demands.
decade 90
In the 1990s, the FTP Group, as it was then known following the merger of Fernando Tavares Pereira’s pioneering companies, entered the vehicle inspection area and expanded its activity into areas as different as wine, tourism, real estate, health, agroforestry and agriculture (fruit, wine and olive oil), industry and energy, occupational safety and food hygiene, as well as surface treatment (zinc plating and lacquering).
2005
In the international market, where it started operating in 2005, it has expanded its activity to the 3 continents where it operates, focusing on South America and Portuguese-speaking Africa, besides consolidating itself in the European market. In 2015, it unequivocally asserted its international presence by increasing its deployment in Argentina.

Nowadays, with about 2000 employees, its management undertakes a policy of social responsibility and respect for the environment, as well as a commitment to the quality of the service it provides in all business areas, to the qualification of its employees, to improve its processes and to consumer satisfaction.
The Tavfer Group is proud of its companies being a national and international benchmark, namely for the recognition of the quality of its services and products, as evidenced by the numerous awards already won by its wines.

Message from the CEO
‘We know that the sustainability of what drives us will only make sense if we are an active part of the lives of our customers and societies in general. Therefore, Tomorrow is a place where we want to be.’
The Tavfer Group was born out of an enormous will. A will, a commitment and the perseverance that are at the origin of its creation 41 years ago, and that are still alive today.
We invest in our industry. We trusted our resources. We believed in our country. And we grew with our customers. It was necessary to overcome many obstacles, overcome countless challenges, and adapt to the social, economic, financial, and political realities of the markets. We made mistakes and learned to be better. From metalworking, we grew to other activities. Today, present in different sectors, of which we highlight Vehicle Inspection, Trade, Services, Industry and Agriculture, we are thinking about tomorrow. That is why quality, precision and innovation always go hand in hand with our growth and with all the business areas where we are present.
Today we are more, we are bigger and we are part of the world. Tomorrow we want to be where the future decides is the best place for our customers to be at the forefront of the answers that markets require, in this globalization era.
