Gastaldi Hnos.

What Gastaldi Hnos. does

Gastaldi Hnos. is a privately held Argentine agribusiness company founded in 1930 and headquartered in General Deheza, Córdoba, that processes and distributes three core product lines: wheat flour (Harinas), raw and blanched peanuts (Maní), and butterfly popcorn (Pisingallo). The company operates dedicated facilities — a flour mill, a peanut plant, and an extrusion plant — under food safety certifications including BPM, HACCP, and BRC, and in 2025 became the first Argentine peanut producer to obtain a Type III Environmental Product Declaration (EPD). Its core technology consists of conventional milling and peanut processing equipment; no proprietary software, AI, or developer-facing platforms are part of the offering.

The business model is B2B commodity and semi-processed food supply, with revenue generated through direct sales of bulk wheat flour, peanuts, and popcorn to food manufacturers, wholesalers, and distributors. Domestically, the company maintains commercial representatives in each Argentine province. Internationally, it serves export markets — particularly the Middle East and Europe — through a dedicated Foreign Trade team and persistent participation in major food trade shows (Gulfood, SIAL Paris, International Peanut Forum, World Peanut Meeting). Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is handled via website quote requests for each product line.

Gastaldi Hnos. is family-owned (no external investors, no funding rounds, no M&A activity disclosed), employs 51–100 people, and is led by Director Luis Macario with Francisco Macario of the Foreign Trade team. The company supplements its core production with industry-facing assets — agricultural crop reports, the Originadores Trigo 2025 wheat-originator event, and co-organization of the TrigAr 2019 wheat congress with the Córdoba provincial government — positioning itself as a knowledge hub within the Argentine wheat and peanut value chains.
