With operations in Argentina, Chile, and Uruguay, the company aims to strengthen its presence in key sectors such as construction, steel, and mining, which are beginning to show signs of recovery. In this context, Grupo Calidra unveiled an investment plan of approximately US$30 million to enhance its production capacity and optimize its infrastructure, with a specific focus on its plants in Argentina and Chile.

“We are moving forward with an ambitious plan to strengthen our classification, crushing, and packaging capacity, ensuring a more efficient and higher-quality supply for our customers,” said Pedro Brandi, Regional Director of Grupo Calidra Cono Sur.

The investments will be concentrated in the La Laja plant in San Juan, Argentina, and Noviciado in Chile. In addition to improving production processes, the company will allocate part of the funds to modernizing its facilities, including the construction of new dining areas, locker rooms, and laboratories for its employees.

"With this strategy, Grupo Calidra seeks to capitalize on the recovery in industrial and mining demand while strengthening its position in the regional market," the company concluded.
