A Goya spokesperson said the project would lead to a “doubling [of] the processing capacity of canned beans, tomato sauce, and refried beans”.
A year ago, the chief executive of Goya Foods brushed off a US media report that claimed the company was is in talks to sell a majority stake to private-equity firm Carlyle.
“Goya has a longstanding policy of not responding to rumours. However, the company is not for sale,” Goya president and CEO Bob Unanue told just-food. “We are flattered, of course, that anyone would be interested in owning an iconic brand and business as ours. Our plans for our incredible Goya family is to continue this legacy into the future, even more successfully for generations to come.”
