Achievements, Acknowledgements and the challenge
to do more

For us, the search for excellence is an endless journey. Every level reached is the basis that challenges us to go further. From the international quality and safety standards we adopted in our factories, attested with important certifications, to our social and environmental, safety and people management practices, we work to build Libbs increasingly better and more prepared to do what we proposed ourselves to do: Taking care of life.
