With the name of Santa Marta, we began our commercial operations on July 15, 2014, on a property located in the city of Mariano Roque Alonso. There were 10 collaborators who were in charge of different areas, such as agriculture, laboratory, production, administration, collection, processing, export and commercial; the latter in charge of the founder himself. The growth of the company required the expansion of the physical space and a greater incorporation of people into the work team. This led us to install a new industrial plant in the city of Eusebio Ayala (better known as “Barrero”), in the department of Cordillera, giving way to another chapter in our history. The Barrero plant involved an investment of USD 1.5 million, it was opened in 2016, on a 4-hectare property, and 20 collaborators were already part of the team. Peanuts and sesame are processed in it, in quantities of 2,500 and 2,000 kilograms per hour, respectively. In mid-2017, another important change occurred. As a result of the evolution of the company, we migrated to the name HYPERGRAIN (very large grains, in Spanish), considering that this name better represented and identified the characteristic of our production.
