Sigma, which is owned by Mexican conglomerate Alfa, added the acquisition would “consolidate” its position in Peru in the categories in which it already operates.
Earlier this month, Supemsa general manager Luiz Salazaar had denied a sale of the company, as reported in the local media, was on the cards. “I do not know where they could have got that information,’ he told Gestion newspaper.
Supemsa’s brands include Otto Kunz and La Segoviana. It operates a packaged meats plant in Chancay near the Peruvian capital of Lima where it employs more than 800 workers.
