Vimifos

What Vimifos does

Vimifos is a privately held Mexican animal nutrition company headquartered in El Salto, Jalisco, operating since 1977 with 501-1,000 employees. The company designs, manufactures, and distributes specialized feed products across a broad species portfolio — aquaculture (shrimp, tilapia, marine fish), swine, cattle, poultry, deer, horses, goats, and sheep — using extrusion, microconcentrate, pellet, and crumble processes underpinned by HACCP-based food safety systems. Five certified manufacturing plants (Villahermosa, Cd. Obregón, Querétaro, El Salto, Navojoa) and a network of 92 authorized distributors provide nationwide Mexican coverage, while international certifications (FSSC 22000, ISO 14001, BAP, SEDEX SMETA, SENASICA, EU Organic, ASC) position the company to serve export-oriented producers.

The business operates two distinct revenue streams. The core stream is the manufacture and sale of branded animal nutrition products (e.g., XtruDix, BabyPIG, Motivate, BASEMIX, Bura Landeer, Dinasty Horse, VimiGoat, VimiSheep, Aquapremiere) sold B2B through authorized distributors and the app.vimifos.com customer portal, supplemented by field-based technical advisory and training. The second stream is VIMIFOS CAPITAL (Corporativo Financiero Vimifos, SOFOM E.N.R.), a non-bank financial services subsidiary backed by FIRA Banco de México since 2006 that provides working capital, fixed-asset, and revolving credit to over 180 agricultural and aquaculture producers, operating more than $1,000 MDP in credits per year. A third adjacent line, Vimifos Pet Care, extends the formulation capability into the companion animal segment. The go-to-market is sales-led, field-based enterprise motion with strong distributor enablement and a financial services overlay that increases customer switching costs.
