About the owner: CMI
CMI is a privately held company headquartered in Guatemala City, Guatemala, founded in 1920. Brandtree records 8 brands under its control.
Corporación Multi Inversiones is a Guatemalan family conglomerate that traces itself to a small store Juan Bautista Gutiérrez opened in San Cristóbal Totonicapán in 1920 and a grain mill he founded in 1936. It grew from milling into poultry farming in 1964 and, in 1971, into the fried-chicken restaurant chain Pollo Campero, and has since expanded regionally into pasta, processed and fresh poultry and meat, renewable energy, real estate and financial services. By its own account it now operates in 15 countries across Latin America and the United States with more than 54,000 employees, organised since 2018 into two business groups, CMI Foods and CMI Capital.
