The year 2024 has been one of great growth for Mahta, which has been accumulating awards, increasing revenue and attracting professionals to strengthen the team.
In June, the company won another award: nut milk powder, a product from the company's portfolio, was chosen as the best drink at Naturaltech, the largest natural products fair in Latin America.
The award continues a series of recognitions that began in 2023, which demonstrates excellence in product development and a lot of innovation in the use of Amazonian ingredients: Mahta took 1st place in the Fi Innovation Awards and Startup Innovation Challenge, from FISA (Food Ingredients South América) with Mahta Superfoods Amazônicos Powder, and came in second place with Mahta Coffee. It also won the Golden Açaí Award from the NIS (Nutri Ingredients Summit) with nut milk powder.
Also at this year's edition of Naturaltech, the company launched its fourth product, Mahta Coffee with wild cocoa from the Amazon. And it aroused a lot of interest from the retailers present at its stand.
“We were highly sought after at Naturaltech, more than a hundred retailers showed interest in putting our products on sale. We also had numerous prescribers – nutritionists, nutritionists and health professionals – who came to us interested in prescribing the products for their clients. The results were very good”, describes Max Petrucci, founding partner of Mahta
With the success in sales through the website, the company begins to expand its presence in retail, entering the main self-service chains in São Paulo and Brazil. It is now possible to find the products in the Santa Luzia, Quitanda and Varanda emporiums, for example, and the expansion has been carried out in a qualified and careful manner. The next step, after consolidation in retail in the country, will be international expansion.
Mahta also continues to add great talents to the team, such as Alessandra Luglio, a nutrition professional, and Rafael Oliveira, one of the founders of Impact Bank, who joins as communications and community advisor.
Having doubled revenue in six months – December 2023 to June 2024 – the prospect by the end of the year is to double this mark again. “With this, we can reach revenues of R$ 20 million in annual recurring revenue during this period, a very privileged revenue situation”, analyzes Petrucci.
