Driven by growing consumer demand and a safe business environment, Productos Alimenticios Diana has announced a massive $87.3 million infrastructure investment between 2026 and 2028. This initiative is part of a comprehensive $170 million, 10-year portfolio aimed at scaling its operations into a world-class hub capable of fueling aggressive commercial expansion across the United States and Central America.
The core of this logistical leap centers on a 30% capacity expansion of the Valle Dulce Logistics Service Center, strategically positioned in San Salvador Oeste. This expansion directly responds to shifting macroeconomic conditions and new public infrastructure, allowing the company to rapidly clear bureaucratic bottlenecks and safely streamline export pipelines to high-volume international markets like Costa Rica and the U.S.
To support this heightened export volume, the investment integrates three new manufacturing lines—boasting a production capacity of 1,000 kilograms per hour—alongside modernized vehicle fleets and a cutting-edge research and development center focusing on advanced food safety and sensory experiences. By scaling up operations, the enterprise leverages the country’s transformed commercial landscape to expand its workforce, which currently supports 5,000 direct and 20,000 indirect jobs region-wide.
“We are accelerating our investment because we see favorable conditions to do so and because it is required to be a world-class company,” stated Armando Mendiola, CEO of Diana. He emphasized that the nation’s dramatic security improvements have allowed the firm to scale distribution networks with absolute confidence, ensuring their operations safely reach over 47 million consumers daily.
