FAGAR – Faro, Gestão de Águas e Resíduos, E.M. is a Portuguese empresa municipal (municipal enterprise) registered with NIPC 507142217 at the Commercial Registry of Faro, incorporated on 19 September 2005. Its registered office is at Rua Professor Norberto da Silva, n.º 8, 8004-002 Faro, Portugal, and registry sources reviewed for this profile record its status as active.
FAGAR was established under Portugal’s local-enterprise-sector legal framework (regime jurídico da atividade empresarial local) to deliver public services on behalf of the municipality of Faro. Its principal registered activity is CAE 36002, water distribution, and according to its own published mission statement it manages, operates and maintains the public systems for water supply, domestic and rainwater drainage, collection and transport of urban waste, and urban street cleaning within the Faro municipality.
FAGAR’s share capital is EUR 5,000,000. Company-information provider Iberinform reports FAGAR’s latest turnover in the EUR 10 million to EUR 50 million range, with an increasing trend, as of its most recent data update; FAGAR’s own website separately reports a workforce of 270 employees as of 31 December 2025, comprising 222 permanent, 43 fixed-term and 4 seconded public-interest staff, a more precise and more recent figure than Iberinform’s broader 101-250 employee estimate.
FAGAR is not listed on any stock exchange and holds no public ticker; it operates as a locally controlled public-service provider for the Faro municipality rather than as a listed or purely private commercial company. An active registry status confirms the entity’s current legal standing but should not be read as a statement about its financial condition or trading activity.

Shareholders
Shareholders of FAGAR – Faro, Gestão de Águas e Resíduos, E.M.
FAGAR is a Portuguese municipal enterprise (empresa municipal) rather than a conventional joint-stock or limited company, so its disclosed capital holders are governed by Portugal’s local-enterprise-sector framework (Lei n.º 50/2012, RJAEL) rather than ordinary company law. According to FAGAR’s official website and corroborating Portuguese business-information sources, its share capital of EUR 5,000,000 is held as follows: Município de Faro (Faro Municipality, NIPC 506579425) holds 51%, and AGS – Administração e Gestão de Sistemas de Salubridade, S.A. holds the remaining 49%. AGS is a private Portuguese water and wastewater management company, founded in 1988 with its own share capital of EUR 11,000,000, that is in turn wholly held by Marubeni Corporation, a publicly listed Japanese trading and investment group, per AGS’s own website. This 51%/49% split was current as of the retrieval date of 23 September 2026; no more recent change to FAGAR’s capital structure was identified in the sources reviewed.
Ultimate beneficial ownership
No natural-person ultimate beneficial owner applies to FAGAR. Its majority holder, Município de Faro, is a Portuguese local public authority (municipality), not a natural or private legal person, and public bodies are not subject to beneficial-ownership disclosure under Portugal’s Central Register of Beneficial Owners (RCBE) in the way private companies are. The minority holder, AGS, S.A. (49%), is itself a corporate entity ultimately held by Marubeni Corporation, a publicly listed Japanese company; no natural-person UBO chain for the AGS stake was verified from the sources reviewed, and none is reported here.
Data availability
Shareholder information for FAGAR is major shareholders only: the two disclosed capital holders and their percentages are published on FAGAR’s own website and corroborated by AGS’s own website, but no RCBE or equivalent natural-person UBO filing was reviewed. Cached Zavia baseline data for this entity contained only a generic notice about Portugal’s RCBE filing regime rather than actual shareholder records; the research above supersedes that placeholder.

Group Structure
Group structure of FAGAR – Faro, Gestão de Águas e Resíduos, E.M.
FAGAR is not an independent, freestanding company: it is a Portuguese municipal enterprise (empresa municipal) established under the local-enterprise-sector legal framework, with Município de Faro (Faro Municipality, NIPC 506579425, registered office Largo da Sé, 8004-001 Faro) as its majority capital holder. FAGAR’s own website confirms Município de Faro as its "entidade titular" (controlling/titular entity), alongside AGS – Administração e Gestão de Sistemas de Salubridade, S.A. as the 49% minority partner. AGS is itself a private company held by Marubeni Corporation, a publicly listed Japanese trading and investment group, per AGS’s own website. No further ownership chain above Marubeni was reviewed for this profile.
Município de Faro also controls at least one other municipal enterprise, AMBIFARO – Gestão de Equipamentos Municipais, E.M. (NIPC 504497782), which manages the Faro municipal market building and the municipality’s limited-duration parking zones. AMBIFARO and FAGAR are both separately incorporated municipal enterprises of the same municipality and, on that basis, may be considered sister companies; however, no direct ownership or control relationship between FAGAR and AMBIFARO themselves (as distinct from their shared municipal parent) was identified in the sources reviewed. No subsidiaries of FAGAR itself were identified.
