MAXAGRO
Packing San Francisco ( MaxAgro Business Unit )
Although it was founded as a family business in 1970 , MaxAgro has become an agribusiness leader and the second largest pork producer in Chile . The company has been growing through acquisitions and strategic management , maintaining a progressive development , which resulted in 120 percent growth in 2014 , largely thanks to its global export of pork products .
After this industrial growth , MaxAgro has allocated part of its investment to social and sustainable programs , such as wastewater treatment and the construction of two biogas plants that generate renewable energy to the surrounding communities , providing them with a better environment by reducing their carbon footprint .
One of its major differentiators is quality control in the production area , which has raised its competence in the global market . Being a family business , the company has maintained a close relationship with its local partners and suppliers both domestically and regional , strengthening the value chain from the field .
“ The company has grown rapidly these past ten years , we now have about 1,600 people working directly in our operations . Being in the front lines of MaxAgro is a tremendous responsibility and a daily challenge , I ’ m leading a company with such competitive goals ,” said the current CEO of MaxAgro , Cristian Kühlenthal .
