CMI, Corporación Multi Inversiones is expanding its production and commercial capabilities in El Salvador as part of a regional strategy focused on strengthening operational efficiency, industrial infrastructure, and proximity to consumers. The country has become one of CMI’s key markets, where its operations combine manufacturing, logistics, and the development of well-established food industry brands.
Throughout 2025, the corporation implemented a series of initiatives designed to strengthen its operational footprint in El Salvador. These efforts include investments in logistics infrastructure, expanded production capacity, and environmental improvements within its industrial processes. Together, these actions reflect a business vision that prioritizes sustainability, efficiency, and operational continuity across Central America.
Logistics Investment to Strengthen the Supply Chain
One of the most significant initiatives was the inauguration of a distribution center in San Miguel, a facility designed to enhance logistics management in the eastern region of the country. The project involved an investment of $1.5 million and aims to optimize the flow of products to retail locations and customers.
Facilities like this enable more efficient coordination between production, storage, and distribution operations. They also help reduce delivery times and improve product availability in the market.
This logistics investment is part of a broader strategy to strengthen the regional supply chain. As a result, the corporation has prioritized projects that increase operational efficiency and enable a faster response to consumer demand.
According to Jaime García Oriani, Corporate Affairs and Sustainability Business Partner for CMI Foods in El Salvador, the goal is to continue strengthening the country’s industrial and commercial capabilities while maintaining a regional perspective and staying closely connected to local market dynamics.
Growth Focused on Efficiency and Sustainability
In addition to logistics infrastructure, CMI implemented improvements across its production operations in El Salvador. These initiatives are designed to strengthen industrial performance while incorporating sustainability criteria into operational processes.
Key actions include:
- Expansion of wheat mill capacity, improving flour production and market supply.
- Installation of a new wastewater treatment plant to enhance environmental management within industrial operations.
- Opening of three new Pollo Campero restaurants, strengthening the brand’s presence in the country.
These initiatives reflect a strategy that combines productive investment, process improvement, and environmental management. They also demonstrate how operational decisions can simultaneously contribute to industrial efficiency and sustainable development.
The strengthening of these capabilities also responds to the strong market recognition of several brands within CMI’s portfolio in El Salvador. These include Pollo Indio, Toledo, Molinos Modernos, and La Siciliana, all of which maintain a strong presence among consumers.
A Regional Strategy with Economic Development Impact
The investments made in El Salvador are part of a regional strategy aimed at strengthening the corporation’s industrial and commercial operations throughout Central America.
In this context, the country serves as an important platform for projects that integrate manufacturing, logistics, and distribution. At the same time, the company’s business approach is focused on creating local employment opportunities and strengthening productive capacity in key sectors such as poultry and food production.
The corporation’s strategic direction continues to be guided by the third generation of the founding family. Juan Luis Bosch Gutiérrez, Chairman of CMI’s Board of Directors; Juan José Gutiérrez Mayorga, President Chairman of CMI Foods; and Felipe Bosch Gutiérrez, President Chairman of CMI Capital, have supported a vision that prioritizes sustainability, efficiency, and regional development.
Looking ahead, the company plans to continue developing production and commercial projects that strengthen its operational presence in the country. Through these efforts, CMI remains an active participant in El Salvador’s economic and industrial development while reinforcing its regional footprint through investments aligned with market needs and the communities it serves.
