In January 2025, Jaime Gilinski became president of Colombian food conglomerate Grupo Nutresa. Since then, the company has strengthened its position in the fast-food market through five food-brand acquisitions. The latest acquisition, announced on October 22, involves the purchase of Colombian hamburger chain Presto. This marks the fifth acquisition under Gilinski's leadership and has already led to a 236% increase in the company's share price.
The deal, which remains subject to closing conditions, includes Presto's restaurants, brand and production infrastructure. Presto will join Nutresa's Alimentos al Consumidor division, which already includes El Corral and other restaurant brands. The acquisition is expected to bolster Nutresa's presence in Colombia's competitive fast-food market, where it would join competitors like McDonald's and Burger King.
