Macarico Taiwan Agent — Portuguese Olives

Macarico is an olives and olive-products brand from Portugal, agented in Taiwan by Omniworld Trading Ltd. (友暉貿易有限公司, Taiwan business registration no. 89733219), which holds a formal agency appointment from the manufacturer and brings the brand into Taiwan’s department stores, hypermarkets, supermarkets, and e-commerce channels. Omniworld Trading has operated as a Taiwan food importer and overseas brand agent since 1995, working across department store, hypermarket, supermarket, and e-commerce channels.

About the Brand

According to the brand’s official website, the company is registered as Maçarico, S.A., headquartered in Praia de Mira, Portugal. Taiwan buyers commonly search for and refer to the brand using the non-accented spelling “Macarico,” which this page follows to describe the same company.

Per the manufacturer’s own history page, the business was founded in 1930 by Domingos Ribeiro Maçarico as a small trading operation selling Galician-style olives (“azeitona galega”). It later expanded step by step: exports to Brazil began in 1960; the product range broadened into pickles, mustard, and piri-piri sauce in 1978; and the company moved into a new facility with a central warehouse in 2000.

Beyond olives and olive paste, the manufacturer’s site also lists olive oil, ketchup, mayonnaise, and chili sauces, along with pickled vegetables and legumes — indicating a Portuguese food manufacturer that grew from an olive-trading business into a broader range of preserved and seasoning products. The site further states that its Portugal facility holds U.S. FDA registration and ISO 22000 food safety management certification. These are manufacturer-side qualifications in Portugal, separate from Omniworld’s agency operations in Taiwan.

Products Omniworld Brings to Taiwan

Omniworld’s agency scope for Macarico is limited to olives and olive products: black, green, and mixed olives (whole, pitted, and sliced) and olive paste. These are suited to Western-style light meals, Mediterranean dishes, appetizers, and salad ingredients, and are supplied to department store, hypermarket, supermarket, and e-commerce channels in Taiwan. This page describes the category level only — no individual SKUs or pricing are listed; contact Omniworld directly for current availability.

The Nature of the Relationship

Omniworld’s relationship with Macarico is an agency appointment — Omniworld holds formal authorization from the manufacturer to bring the brand’s products into the Taiwan market. This differs from “imported and distributed,” where a company imports and supplies goods to retail channels without holding a manufacturer’s agency appointment. The two terms are often used interchangeably in the trade; this page distinguishes them deliberately so readers can identify the actual nature of each brand relationship rather than assuming “agency” covers every import arrangement.

How to Verify This

Readers can verify this relationship independently: check Macarico’s official website for information on its overseas markets; confirm Omniworld Trading Ltd.’s registration number 89733219 against Taiwan’s company registry; or request authorization documentation directly from Omniworld.
