HISTORY

 

The city of Punta Arenas, situated in the southernmost region of Chile next to the Strait of Magellan, was the birthplace of a visionary businessman, Nicolás Simunovic Sapunar.

  

As a son of Croatian immigrants in love with his birthplace, he invested all his entrepreneurial skills in the region by developing business related to sheep production. In 1958 he created the family business “Industria de Cueros y Lanas Magallanes S.A.” , a pickling plant and exporter of regional slipe wool and pickled pelts. 1985, with the expertise of the founder’s sons, the company incorporated a state-of-the-art sheep processing plant into its activities and changed its name to Frigorífico Simunovic S.A

  

Frigorífico Simunovic S.A. is today the largest and most modern processor of sheep meta in Chile and the first to be granted approval to export to the European Union. It is also licensed to export to Brazil, Argentina, Cuba, México, Canada and Japan, among  other markets.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

 

We interviewed Mr. Nicolás Simunovic, General Manager, after several verbal and written

requests and he said he was surprised about this enquiry claiming he has no pending

credit transaction with any foreign based supplier so he considered unnecessary to

cooperate.

  

Given the circumstances and as usual in these cases in order to prepare report we had to consult third parties, official, etc. but in spite of the efforts employeed  we could not get balance sheets of this enterprise. We could only learn sales of the company are in the US$20 million range.

  

Based on the information gathered we could indicate FRIGORIFICO SIMUNOVIC S.A. is a reknown chilean company with more than 20 years of operations dedicated to slaughtering and marketing of ovine meats and hides, and whose products enjoy great acceptance in international markets.

The interviewed person refused to reveal the names of the suppliers they deal with.  We checked with potential local suppliers but without success. Due to this reason it was not possible to determine the pay records of the company.

  

 

BANKING INFORMATION

 

BANKERS

The interviewed person would not provide the names of the banks they deal with either,  and it was not possible to get said information from outside sources. However it is  important to mention there are not returned checks for insufficient funds in the  company name.
