Sigma, which is owned by Mexican conglomerate Alfa, added the acquisition would “consolidate” its position in Peru in the categories in which it already operates.

Supemsa’s brands include Otto Kunz and La Segoviana. It operates a packaged meats plant in Chancay near the Peruvian capital of Lima where it employs more than 800 workers.
