Sigma Foods has successfully acquired the US-based smoked meats producer Roger Wood Foods, although the financial details of the transaction remain undisclosed. This strategic move is poised to enhance Sigma’s presence in the food and beverage industry.
In a recent statement, the Mexican meat and dairy conglomerate emphasized that this acquisition “strengthens the Sigma US portfolio with a trusted brand that has a deep connection with consumers.” Such initiatives align with current food and drink consumer trends, allowing Sigma to capitalize on established market relationships.
Roger Wood Foods, located in Georgia, is a family-owned company renowned as the “number one smoked sausage company in the US south-east.” The company operates a single plant and reported approximately $50 million in revenue in 2025, according to Sigma.
The acquisition allows Sigma to establish its first manufacturing site in the southeastern US, marking a significant milestone for its growth strategy. Jesus Lobo, CEO of Sigma’s US operations, stated, “We are excited to welcome the Roger Wood team to Sigma Foods and look forward to continue building together on our commitment to delivering delicious products and our passion for consumers.” This commitment is crucial in a rapidly evolving food and drink business landscape.
Lobo added, “We are focused on preserving the legacy of Roger Wood as a preferred brand and accelerating its growth.” This focus aligns with Sigma’s strategic objectives as highlighted in its 2025 annual report.
According to the report, Sigma operates eight plants and 16 distribution centers across the US. The company has a presence in 17 countries across four regions—Mexico, Europe, the US, and Latin America. It produces and sells a diverse range of products, including cold cuts, dry meats, cheese, and yogurt.
In 2025, Sigma reported impressive financial results, with revenues of $9.27 billion, an EBITDA of $1.09 billion, and operating income of $831 million. The group also noted a net profit of $448 million attributed to the majority interest. In the US alone, Sigma generated $1.64 billion in revenue and $200 million in EBITDA last year, reinforcing its solid position in the market and its commitment to ongoing growth and adaptation in the food and beverage industry.
