New episode of our Mergers and Acquisitions podcast. This time, we are joined by Jaime Chico Martín.

In this episode, we speak with Jaime about the evolution of Cárnicas Chico, from its origins as a family-owned business to its recent integration into Grupo Vall Companys, one of Spain’s leading agri-food groups.

Throughout the conversation, we analyze the key strategic drivers behind the company’s growth, its positioning within an increasingly demanding meat industry, and the transformation dynamics that are driving consolidation in the sector.

We also take an in-depth look at the M&A process from the inside: when and why the decision to bring in an industrial partner arises, how a transaction of this nature is structured, and which factors are critical when selecting the right partner.

This episode is particularly relevant for entrepreneurs and executives considering a corporate transaction, as well as for those seeking to understand where the meat industry is heading in the coming years.

We would like to thank Jaime Chico Martín for his openness and transparency, which have made this an outstanding episode.
