The company is the leader in the margarines market (62%) and number two in sauces (20%).

The company is located in Buenos Aires and operates with the following main brands: Dánica, Manterina, Vegetalia, Danifesta and Primor. Revenues of US$ 122.7 million in 2011 and sales of 68.3 thousand tons, with 689 employees
