What's the deal? Santa Fe-based group La RamadaDealroom has a profile for this one. Try Dealroom → has acquired 100% of La LácteoDealroom has a profile for this one. Try Dealroom →, a historic dairy brand from Córdoba, Argentina. The transaction was announced in September 2026, with terms undisclosed.

Why now? The purchase follows La Ramada's 2025 acquisition of a plant in Villa del Rosario, also in Córdoba — the province long associated with La Lácteo. The two deals form part of a wider investment programme spanning Córdoba and Santa Fe.

What's the endgame? La Ramada aims to lift industrial processing capacity to 1.05m litres of milk a day before the end of 2026. That figure reflects planned capacity, not current output.

No investment value was disclosed. The group has not provided a project timeline or a breakdown of how the capacity will split between the two provinces.

The signal: The deal marks another step in the consolidation of Argentina's dairy sector, as regional players scale up processing capacity through targeted acquisitions rather than greenfield builds.
