Corporación Multi Inversiones (CMI) continues to consolidate its leadership in the food industry in the region with a second phase of investment in its poultry processing plant in Zapotitán, Ciudad Arce. These improvements, amounting to US$1.1 million, are part of the US$7 million announced in 2023, reaffirming the corporation’s commitment to innovation and quality in its products.
“As CMI, we are committed to the economic development and food security of the region, which is why we invest in our operations to provide the best quality products with brands that are part of the local tradition and flavor, such as Pollo Indio. These projects not only allow us to optimize our processes, but also reinforce our position as a committed leader and our passion for our customers and consumers”, said Emilio Porta, General Manager of Soluciones Cárnicas CMI.
As part of this investment, an advanced whole-product distribution system has been installed, designed to ensure accurate quality assessment through state-of-the-art cameras and a highly accurate weighing system, known as SmartWeigher. This technology enables automated grading of chickens based on weight and vision, optimizing the distribution process and ensuring that products meet the specifications required by customers and consumers. The system not only improves operational efficiency, but also reinforces the quality promise that characterizes the Pollo Indio brand, a leader in the salvadoran market.
With the warmth of a family business that characterizes CMI, the investment also has a positive impact on its employees. The plant employs more than 800 Salvadorans, 50% of whom are women and 40% of whom live in the area.
More than a century of history and a commitment to sustainable development
With a history of more than a century, CMI works inspired by its purpose of “Generating, with family warmth, opportunities that change lives”. These investments are a reflection of its commitment to promote economic and sustainable development in the countries where it operates. In El Salvador, it generates around 8 thousand direct jobs and has brands such as Pollo Campero, Don Pollo, Pollo Indio, Toledo, Pasta Fama, Pasta Ina, Molinos Modernos, Del Comal, Aliansa, Gama, Can Can, among others.
Since 2022, the multilatina has implemented an investment plan in the different countries where it operates, including improvements in infrastructure, technology and innovation, with a focus on sustainability. With this latest investment of US$1.1 million, total investments in this plant, between this year and last year, reach US$7 million.
In addition, the corporation, in its poultry operations, makes other investments aimed at strengthening the country’s food security, with projects such as a poultry farm in the central zone and a distribution center in the eastern part of the country.
“With each investment, we reaffirm our commitment to provide high quality products and to support the economic and social development of El Salvador. This second phase of investments allows us to consolidate our leadership with brands that offer confidence from their origin, such as Pollo Indio. These improvements encourage us to continue offering our customers the best quality, flavor, and convenience”, said Miguel Ángel Pinto, CMI Meat Solutions Business Director in El Salvador.
The poultry plant, like other CMI operations, has solar panels that generate energy for self-consumption and a state-of-the-art water treatment plant. In addition, its poultry and animal feed businesses implement innovative nutritional solutions that have contributed to avoiding greenhouse gas emissions.
Committed to sustainable development with an impact on people, families and communities, CMI will continue to invest in its operations in different geographies, focusing on innovative solutions that ensure the quality and safety of its products, consolidating its position as a benchmark in the food industry in Latin America.
