Grupo Nutresa has pursued a strategy of growth through both product diversification and strategic acquisitions within the Colombian market.

Initially, the conglomerate expanded its consumer footprint by launching a new line of flavored pastas through a partnership between its Doria brand and Ranchera. Simultaneously, the company strengthened its industrial capabilities by acquiring 100% of Empaques Industriales de Colombia, a manufacturer of corrugated cardboard packaging.

Following these moves, Nutresa entered the restaurant sector by signing a purchase agreement to acquire Presto, a long-standing Colombian hamburger chain. The acquisition follows judicial liquidation proceedings for Presto due to financial difficulties and is expected to preserve approximately 700 jobs across 104 locations.
