Neimo provides an innovative and complete line of rainforest fruits and products. Neimo focuses most of its energies on the sourcing and selling of the acai berry, cupuacu and other exotic fruits from the Amazon. We work closely with acai processors in the Brazilian state of Para. We work with them in every phase of production, from ingredient sourcing and quality control to packaging configuration and distribution. We have made strategic partnerships with many other companies in Brazil and the US to add value to our raw acai. These value added products come in the form of oils, powders, juices, and concentrates. By continuing to deepen our insertion into both the Brazilian and U.S. markets, we are uniquely positioned to provide the best service to our clients, supplying them with acai and other fruits from the Brazilian rainforest.

The name
Neimô is an ancient Greek verb meaning to deal out, distribute or dispense. Much of early Greek poetry is concerned with the just distribution of goods and honors, a noble concept which the poets and philosophers aspired for in their society. In their mythology, Nemesis, a derivative of Neimô, was the goddess of retribution who took vengeance on injustices and those who arrive at undeserved rewards. We adhere to the principles of fair trade, making sure our activities positively impact the rural economy of the Amazon region that we come in contact with.

History
The Neimô Trading Company was founded in August of 2004 by two friends. One, Mateus Barbosa, a Brazilian, who at that time was completing his degree in business administration. The other, Noah Landes, a United States citizen, was teaching Physics and Chemistry at the Pan American School of Bahia . Through much dialogue, thought, and of course, debate, they starting laying the groundwork for the company that was to be.

In January 2006, the company moved its office from Salvador to Belém. Belem is the capital of Pará, gateway to Brazil’s Amazon and producer of 90% of the world’s acai. In Pará the company began to discover many other exotic products from the rainforest which held great promise. Neimo only works with products whose commercialization promote a healthy and diverse rainforest.

Today, Neimô has become much more than just an exotic, nutraceutical ingredient supplier. The company also adds value to these ingredients by developing them into a variety of forms and formulations. Neimo continues to forge partnerships with established companies to stay on the nutraceutical cutting edge.
