M&A Financial Advisory in Ecuador 

Proventus acted as the exclusive financial advisor to the shareholders of DELCAMPO in the recent sale to Vita Alimentos. DELCAMPO S.A.S. is the company behind the production of cheeses and other dairy products under the La Holandesa brand. This transaction allows Vita to consolidate its position in the Ecuadorian dairy market and become one of the leading groups in the sector. The deal marks a strategic milestone for DELCAMPO’s shareholders and reinforces Proventus’s position as a firm specialized in mergers and acquisitions in Ecuador.

Strategic support to the shareholders of DELCAMPO 

Proventus supported the shareholders of DELCAMPO from the early preparation phase, taking a comprehensive approach and leading a competitive process that resulted in a successful closing. The firm’s role included advising on the transaction structure, managing the information flow, coordinating with interested parties, and supporting the negotiation of binding sale agreements.

The company’s strong commercial foundation and sound management practices contributed to the high level of interest and the smooth, agile nature of the transaction.

The company will now be operated by Vita Alimentos, whose portfolio will be strengthened with leading cheese products. Through this acquisition, Vita will leverage its capabilities in high-quality raw material sourcing and distribution to bring more La Holandesa products into Ecuadorian homes.

A transaction in a changing market 

The Ecuadorian dairy sector is undergoing significant transformation, driven by shifting consumer habits, rising demand for functional products, and an evolving competitive landscape. La Holandesa has successfully anticipated these changes, particularly the impact of new retail formats. By adjusting its portfolio, La Holandesa has solidified its strong presence in retail channels, blending tradition and innovation.

Proventus’s value in the transaction 

Proventus played a central role in structuring the process, from defining the transaction perimeter to preparing and managing the information shared with potential buyers. The firm developed a clear narrative around La Holandesa’s value and growth prospects, while also enabling buyers to evaluate potential strategic and operational synergies.
