VIMA Foods, leader in the marketing and distribution of frozen products in the Dominican Republic, celebrates its 25th anniversary with a special event at its Almafrío warehouse. The occasion brought together employees, customers and industry authorities, highlighting the achievements of the company and its growth in the Dominican market, consolidating its position as a benchmark in the food industry for its efficiency and advanced technology in the cold chain in the Caribbean.
This event, held at Almafrío’s facilities, not only marked a celebration of the company’s achievements, but also gave attendees the opportunity to see first-hand the modern facilities of one of the most advanced cold storage facilities in the Caribbean. With a storage capacity of 15 million pounds, this logistics center is a fundamental pillar in guaranteeing the cold chain for both VIMA’s products and those of its customers, who rely on its storage and distribution services.
In its commitment to growth, VIMA Foods took advantage of this celebration to announce new investments, including the construction of a new cold storage facility in Punta Cana, with an investment of more than US$10 million, to continue supporting the development of the tourism sector and guarantee a constant supply of products throughout the country. In addition, the expansion plan includes the construction of a third logistics center in Santiago de los Caballeros, which will contribute to the strengthening of its operations and the generation of employment in the different regions.
