Like any other company, a family business wants to remain active in the market. For this, there is the need to go through the succession process. In this process, managers pass the company to the successor and along with it the challenges to be faced by the organization in this process. Thus this study aimed to present the challenges to be faced by a company in the food industry in its first family succession process. Specific objectives were: to describe the company's history, the constitution of the family and of the family members that are part of the collaborators; to present the profile of the company's owner and of the possible successor; to identify if there is a plan for the succession in the company; and to point out the challenges faced by the company in the succession process. Methodologically, the monograph is characterized as descriptive research, qualitative and case study.
