The AIGHIS Group arises from the union of individuals who unite their peoples network to form the differentiated corporate resources cluster that specializes in the areas of agriculture, agro-business, international trade, international banking and international shipping. We have hands-on control over the supply chain from the selection of the field and seeds in country of origin, until the warehouse of the grain and end product at the port of the country of destination.
AIGHIS originates its sources in Brazil, Paraguay, Argentina and Uruguay and acts as the integrated representative, exporter, trader and shipper of agricultural commodities. The company is currently processing contracts for GMO Soy Beans for Chinese and Arab customers. The commercial activities also involve corn, wheat, urea, phosphate, potassium chloride, seeds, among others.
Aighis will be focused on its relationship network, aiming to ensure its customers, safety and reliability in operations. Its goal is to gradually gain presence in the national and international market, participating consistently in all stages of the logistics chain, adding value to the business and optimizing the import and export processes related to the soy and corn production chain.

The history of Aighis goes back to more than 12 years, when Adilson Jorge Silvestre, Brazilian, and Kimon Patkas, Greek-Canadian, crossed paths. In 2009 Adilson, as President of the Business Association of Imbituba (ACIM) received Kimon, as Founder/President of the Hellenic-Brazilian Chamber of Commerce (Greece – Brazil).
Years later, friendship and cooperation grew stronger. To narrate the origin of Aighis, it is imperative to talk about the actions delegated and contracted by the two parties, which contributed to the development of the actions that lead to the birth of the company. Therefore, the facts narrated below lead to the construction and consolidation of the company.
It was in 2013 that a European delegation for development in the Port of Imbituba signed an institutional cooperation agreement. The agenda included an international cooperation protocol between Greece (Europe) and Santa Catarina (Brazil).
Years later, in 2018, Saw’X Madeiras da South America Eireli was founded, a company owned by Adilson Jorge Silvestre dedicated to exporting wood. The enterprise, despite being successful, did not reach the goals initially planned. That same year, in August, a navigation delegation (offshore tug services; coastal shipping container line; chartering of bulk carriers) visited Imbituba to support the operations for exports.
In March of 2019, a commercial partnership was signed with a financial company of the Macau Fund together with a cooperation protocol for the development of a Navigation Fleet between Brazil Greece and China, through Portuguese-speaking African countries.

In October 2020, the commercial partnership and representation of Arshine MP Resources PTY (South Africa) was formalized, with the purpose of supplying fertilizers and fuels of Russian origin.
The unfortunate hardship of the pandemic forced a new corporate restructuring and two of the partners exited from the company´s capítal.
In March 2021, the commercial partnership and representation of IGSL was signed for the purpose of, commercial financing and international trade.
In May 2021, the commercial partnership and representation of Bessco Gen Trading was formalized for the purpose of supplying fertilizers, inputs, seeds and petroleum residue cleaning products.
In October 2021, the partnership agreement of LRX GUERRAS was signed for the financial security and operational agility for all the current activities of the company as well as development of new business.
In November 2021, the Shipping partnership with DIKOM is formed for the chartering of the vessels necessary for the execution of the international contracts of the company.
Currently, the corporate structure is composed of Adilson Jorge Silvestre and Kimon Patkas, with strong synergy for the success of their socio-economic objectives. Aighis' commercial activity in this new phase is executing contracts for the exportation of agricultiral commodities, mainly soy/corn and animal protein (chicken parts) – the importation of fertilizers mainly Urea among Trading in general and commercial representation.
