FOR RECONSTRUCTION
OF KEKÉN
PROCESSING PLANT
During the year, we focused our efforts on projects that allowed us to maintain operational continuity, implementing protocols to protect our employees’ health and maintaining an ongoing commitment to our shareholders, customers, suppliers, communities and the environment. In addition, we experienced unforeseen situations that challenged us; however, this proved the strength of our business model and the effectiveness of the Company’s response capacity.

Fire and Reconstruction of the Sahé Processing Plant
During the second quarter of the year, we experienced an extremely unfortunate event, when one of the processing plants of the Pork Meat Business suffered a severe fire, affecting about 80% of the machinery, building, equipment and inventories. This plant served the domestic and export markets and represented close to 30% of the pork processing capacity.
From the first week after the event, mitigation measures were taken to minimize the impact on the operation, including the implementation of additional shifts at the processing plants in Umán, Yucatán and Irapuato, Guanajuato, as well as the production of a limited volume at third-party facilities.
The plant was covered for Property Damage, Extraordinary Expenses and Consequential Losses. At the end of December, an amount of $1,025 million pesos was recorded corresponding to the first installments for insurance recovery, and we expect to conclude this process in the next few months.
This advance payment was used to begin the reconstruction of the processing plant at the same location, which will be fully financed with the proceeds from the insurance and should be completed by the end of 2021.

Sustainable Approach at Resirene
The business is developing its own initiatives and collaborating with other entities to take advantage of waste for its subsequent integration into our production chain. Today, it has a solution in bio-based polymers for different everyday applications, mainly for the food packaging market.
Polymers as a base for medical applications
The versatility of the polymers we produce at Resirene allows them to be transformed into applications for the medical and pharmaceutical sector, which demand high technical standards of safety and quality. Some examples are: Sample containers, Petri dishes, drug blister packs, vials, thermal foam containers, among others.
