BACHOCO ANNOUNCES A NEW COMPLEX IN NORTHERN MEXICO
CELAYA, Mexico, Dec. 11 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Industrias Bachoco S.A.
de C.V. (NYSE: IBA) (BMV: Bachoco B) ("Bachoco" or "the Company"), Mexico's
leading producer and processor of poultry products, today announced that it
has started operating a new complex in the State of Sonora, located in
northern Mexico, close to the border with the United States.
Comments from the CEO:
Cristobal Mondragon, Bachoco's Chief Executive Officer, stated, "In
accordance with our strategic plans, we are starting operations at a new complex
in the state of Sonora by acquiring the farms from and leasing the processing
plant and feed mill of Del Mezquital Alimentos S.A. de C.V., a well recognized
company located in the region.
This complex is designed to increase our chicken production capacity within
this region, while also meeting several strategic requirements for the Company:
* This region is considered to be "clean", meaning that it is free of
diseases, and is able to export to other countries.
* The Company has been able to achieve competitive international levels in
chicken production in that region. Specifically, in our complex located in the
state of Sinaloa.
* The complex will be located in Hermosillo, Sonora, close to the United
States border, which increases the Company's opportunities for future chicken
supply to the southern region of the USA.
"At the same time, we will also start constructing more chicken farms, a
processing plant and a feed mill of our own, which should be appropriately
equipped for efficient production in that region, while also satisfying all
exporting requirements.
"Construction of the processing plant is expected to be completed within two
years.
"We are also entering into a partnership agreement with Del Mezquital
Alimentos, S.A. de C.V. concerning its turkey business line where we will
concentrate on selling fresh value-added products.
"These initiatives will enable us to continue our strategy of delivering the
best service to our many customers in the region with fresh and high quality
products that Mexican consumers prefer, while also providing future
opportunities to expand into international markets."
