About La Cantonesa
La Cantonesa is a Guatemalan pasta, soup and sauce maker whose operations CMI's own corporate history says it acquired in 2021, adding a specialised line of packaged meal components to the group's existing Pastas INA business rather than replacing it. CMI's history page groups the deal among a run of food-business acquisitions made around the same time, alongside a new cookie production line and the 2022 purchase of bakery-ingredients supplier AIS Bakery.
