Vidalac

What Vidalac does

Vidalac (legal entity Alimentos Vida S.A., commercial name Grupo Vidalac) is an Argentine privately held food manufacturer founded in 1995-1996 in Santa Fe. It produces a portfolio of powdered foods, dairy derivatives and gluten-free staples, including whole and instant powdered milk fortified with vitamins A, D, C, B-complex, iron and zinc; grated cheese (queso rallado) fortified with vitamins A and D; flavored dairy drink powders under the YA LISTA and VIDALAC + PLUS brands; a VIDASIN T.A.C.C. line of certified gluten-free pre-mixes for ñoquis, bread, pizza, empanadas, tarts and cakes; rice, lentils, rice flour, cassava starch and corn starch; and a recently added Más Vida line of hydrolyzed collagen dietary supplements. Manufacturing is concentrated in two industrial plants — a 6,000m² facility in Paraná (Entre Ríos, opened 2009) for powdered foods and a plant in Sauce Viejo (Santa Fe, opened 2015) for pre-mixes — supported by a 2,200m² commercial headquarters in Puerto de Santa Fe (opened 2018), 11 production lines with 3,500 tons/month combined capacity, and 8,000m² of operative surface in total. The company also operates an exclusive inert gas generation plant and robotic packaging systems to support shelf-stable product quality, and uses a Just-In-Time production and commercialization model with continuous reinvestment in infrastructure.

The business operates a hybrid B2B/B2C go-to-market: it supplies the Argentine national and provincial governments under public procurement contracts (its only named anchor customer segment), and distributes nationwide through retail channels and a company-owned fleet of high-capacity trucks. Revenue is generated through one-time sales of physical goods across grocery, dietary supplement and institutional feeding programs; pricing is not publicly disclosed. Vidalac is independently owned — no venture, private equity or public shareholders have been identified — and transitioned from a sole proprietorship (empresa unipersonal) to a Sociedad Anónima to qualify for larger institutional contracts. The company is not technology-software-led: there is no API, no mobile app, no disclosed AI/ML capability, and no digital integration footprint in the source data. Distribution is single-country domestic (Argentina), with environmental commitments including 250,000 trees planted in a Misiones conservation reserve and 100% internal plant waste recycled at certified facilities.
