Arca Continental’s sales depend more than 10% on Wal-Mart in the US

Wal-Mart is the only customer that represents more than 10% of Arca Continental (AC) sales in the United States.

In turn, Arca Continental’s sales in that country comprise 19% of the total sales of this Mexican company.

Wal-Mart typically does not enter into long-term operations in connection with the supply of its products.

Consequently, the loss of Wal-Mart as a customer could adversely affect AC.

In general, the United States market is predominantly marked by sales through convenience stores and supermarkets.

For AC, the United States region includes the beverage business of Coca-Cola Southwest Beverages (CCSWB) and the snack business of Wise and Deep River.

CCSWB has seven production plants (including a new production center that began operations in March 2010 in Houston, Texas), 30 CEDIs, and 24 production lines.

For its part, Wise has a production plant located in Berwick, Pennsylvania; same that integrates nine production lines and 34 CEDIs.

On November 9, 2020, a long-term strategic agreement was signed with one of the largest maquiladoras in North America, thus achieving a substantial expansion in manufacturing and distribution capabilities.
