HEADQUARTERS AND OUR PLANTS
Agripac’s story began in a small location, with only five workers and great aspirations to grow and generate change in the agro-industrial sector. Five years later, after a lot of effort and perseverance, a building was acquired that would become the company’s headquarters up until the present day.
Around the same time, the company began to grow with the opening of production plants as part of its innovation policy. Celtec, Balanfarina, Emsemillas, Agrigrain, and Laquinsa are the current plants in operation.

BALANFARINA PLANT
As a response to the demand of animal feed products in the agricultural and aquaculture sector, Agripac acquired the Balanfarina plant in 2002. It is a pioneer in the industry, thanks to its processing of high quality animal feed for shrimp and poultry.
With permanent investment in the improvement of its operations, the plant expanded its product lines and currently generates animal feed for shrimps, tilapia, chicken, cattle, pigs, and pets.
We consider it a priority to continuously improve our operations to ensure the quality of our products. Thanks to the determined effort of the human talent that integrates the company, we obtained the GLOBAL GAP certification and, then, the GMP (Good Manufacturing Practices) certification in the shrimp feed production line, based on our process protocols.
This plant has the first Aquaculture Research Center whose objective is to continuously innovate in the production of shrimp feed and to offer high quality products that meet market demands.
