By: Sigma Alimentos will build a new packaged meats plant in Valencia and expand capacity at its “La Bureba” site in Castilla y León after severe flooding rendered its Torrente facility inoperable during the fourth quarter of 2024, according to a company press release.
The Mexico-based food company announced the recovery plan this week, citing a combined investment of €157 million—€134 million for the new Valencia facility and €23 million for upgrades at La Bureba. Most of the funding is expected to come from insurance reimbursements and government incentives.
Production at the Torrente site was permanently halted following what the company described as “irreparable damage” caused by flooding.
According to the announcement, the new infrastructure will restore full production capacity in Spain by 2027. Sigma said it is working with local authorities to advance the projects.
The company hopes the new facilities will strengthen operational resilience and efficiency in the region.
Sigma operates in 17 countries, including several across Europe.
