FIFCO Sells Central American & Mexican Operations to HEINEKEN
FIFCO has agreed to sell its beverage, food, and retail businesses to HEINEKEN. The sale includes operations in Costa Rica, Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, and Mexico, along with stakes in Nicaragua and Panama. Shareholders have given the green light, and the deal is expected to close in the first half of 2026, pending regulatory approvals.
The transaction, once completed, will see HEINEKEN take over FIFCO's extensive operations in Central America and Mexico, including popular brands like Imperial and Brahva beers, as well as food and retail outlets. The sale is a significant move for both companies, with FIFCO focusing on its remaining businesses and HEINEKEN expanding its footprint in the region.
The takeover was approved by FIFCO's shareholders, marking a major shift in the company's strategy. However, details about the current chairman's role post-takeover remain unclear, as search results did not provide specific information.
The sale of FIFCO's beverage, food, and retail businesses to HEINEKEN is set to reshape the industry in Central America and Mexico. The transaction, expected to close in the first half of 2026, will see HEINEKEN gain a strong presence in the region, while FIFCO focuses on its other operations. The future leadership of FIFCO remains uncertain following the approval of the takeover.
