San Miguel Corporation’s acquisition of Pure Foods Corporation in May 2001, brought together two giant food industry leaders to become San Miguel Pure Foods Company Inc. The acquisition ushered in a new era of growth and market leadership for the Company’s integrated businesses. With it also came a wide portfolio of well-loved Pure Foods products, most of which are market leaders, like Pure Foods flour products and Pure Foods Hormel line of processed meat products. (SMFI) Flour Business is a strategic fit that complements the integrated businesses of San Miguel Pure Foods. It produces and markets flour under leading brand names Emperor, King, Queen, Baron, Princess, Monarch and other specialty flour products. In 2006, SMFI-Flour Business spun off to a new company called San Miguel Mills, Inc. (SMMI) which is to evolve as San Miguel’s milling business and flour-based branded retail business cluster. The move is expected to benefit the company in terms of increased stability and profitability, stronger business focus through strategic product groupings, greater synergy of resources and improved operational efficiencies. SMMI will not only supply the growing demand for flour and flour-based products in the local and Asian market but will now be able to customize products catering to each and every need of the market.
