SID Group received the official visit of the United States Ambassador to the Dominican Republic, Leah Francis Campos, in a meeting aimed at sharing the evolution and scope of an organization that has accompanied Dominican productive development.
During the tour of its facilities, the diplomat learned about the productive and logistical infrastructure that supports the group’s operations, as well as the capabilities that have allowed it to expand its presence to 22 countries.
“The United States has been a strategic partner in our growth trajectory. The results we have built over decades reflect a constant commitment to innovation, operational excellence and the construction of long-term relationships that generate value for both countries,” said Ligia Bonetti, executive president of Grupo SID.
With 89 years of experience, Grupo SID has established itself as one of the most relevant industrial groups in the Dominican Republic. Made up of MercaSID, Induveca, Induspalma and the Leones del Esgido, it generates more than 5,400 direct jobs, markets more than 1,900 SKUs and articulates a value chain that involves more than 1,700 local and international suppliers.
Its operating platform includes 20 manufacturing plants, 11 distribution centers and more than 400 commercial routes, an infrastructure that supports its competitiveness and its long-term growth vision.
The visit also allowed us to highlight the solid relationship that Grupo SID has built with the US market.
Currently, the organization has a presence in more than 1,200 points of sale in 14 states of the United States and its territories, including more than 200 Walmart stores, and operates from US territory for the production of the Stellar Super Special Salami.
A binational commercial relationship built over time that is also reflected in the strategic alliances that Grupo SID maintains with leading global companies such as Kimberly-Clark, Kraft Heinz, General Mills and Hershey’s, as well as with technological leaders such as Amazon, Microsoft and Blue Yonder.
Beyond commercial exchange, these collaborations promote innovation, accelerate digital transformation, raise operating standards and strengthen the competitiveness of the Dominican industry.
The visit seeks to reinforce the common interest in continuing to strengthen commercial and cooperation ties between both nations.
