Lagomarsino

What Lagomarsino does

Lagomarsino S.A. is a privately held, family-owned Argentine flour milling company founded in 1933 by Andrés Lagomarsino (whose family history in milling dates to 1912 in Genoa, Italy). It is positioned as the second-largest milling company in Argentina, operating 13 industrial plants across Buenos Aires province — 8 production facilities and 5 wheat storage facilities — with combined daily milling capacity exceeding 2,000 tons. The company sells through multiple sub-brands: industrial flours and pre-mixes (Lagomarsino), consumer packaged flours (Caserita, Rayito de Sol, Artesana), frozen baked goods and viennoiseries (Cremachel), and exports through its wholly-owned Brazilian subsidiary Farisur (established 1992, the first Argentine flour exporter to Brazil) and to worldwide markets.

The core technology is wheat milling and downstream flour processing, supported by integral product traceability from raw materials through finished products, modern plant equipment, and FSSC 22000 food safety certification at the Navarro mill. The product portfolio spans 350+ SKUs including wheat flours, integral products, semolinas, wheat bran pellets, bakery and pastry pre-mixes, improvers, breadcrumbs, breadings, and frozen baked goods (raw, pre-fermented, and pre-baked). Distribution combines a domestic broker/representative commercial network, retail channels for consumer brands, and export operations via Farisur (Brazil) and direct international sales.

The revenue model is transactional (product sales) across four customer segments: (1) industrial food companies requiring certified, custom-formulated flours; (2) artisanal bakeries supplied through the broker network; (3) gastronomy/HoReCa buyers; and (4) household consumers purchasing branded retail products (Caserita). Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is understood to be quote-based for B2B accounts. The company is controlled by the Lagomarsino family across four generations, operates as a sociedad anónima domiciled in Argentina, and has no disclosed external investors or public listing.
