History

The company was incorporated in 1956 as Pure Foods Corporation, a manufacturer of processed meats marketed under the Purefoods brand name. Ayala Corporation acquired substantial shares in the company in 1965 and majority control in 1981.[1]

In 2001, San Miguel Corporation (SMC) acquired Pure Foods Corporation from Ayala Corporation.[2] Following the acquisition, the entire food division of SMC was consolidated under Pure Foods Corporation and the company was renamed San Miguel Pure Foods Company, Inc. Its integrated operations range from breeding, contract growing, processing and marketing of chicken, pork and beef to the manufacture of refrigerated, canned and ready-to-cook meat products, ice cream, butter, cheese, margarine, oils and fats, as well as animal and aquatic feeds. It holds in its portfolio some of the most formidable brands in the Philippine food industry. Sixty per cent of its sales comes from poultry, feeds and meats; branded businesses, processed meats, coffee and dairy; and flour. As of 16 July 2013, San Miguel Pure Foods has a market share of over 40 per cent, and is the Philippines' leading poultry producer.[3]

On November 6, 2017, SMC announced the consolidation of its beverage businesses into San Miguel Pure Foods Company, Inc. through a $6.6-billion share swap deal. San Miguel Pure Foods Company, Inc. would acquire 7.86 billion shares in San Miguel Brewery, Inc. and 216.97 million shares in Ginebra San Miguel, Inc. from SMC. After the consolidation, San Miguel Pure Foods Company, Inc. would be renamed San Miguel Food and Beverage, Inc.[4][5] San Miguel Pure Foods Company, Inc. held a special stockholders meeting on January 18, 2018 which approved the amendments to the Articles of Incorporation and the share swap transaction. After the consolidation, SMC intends to sell up to 30 percent of the company to foreign investors to raise roughly $3 billion for future investments. The sale would be done through a private placement in 2018.[6][7]

On March 23, 2018, the SEC approved the change in corporate name and amendments in the company's Articles of Incorporation.[8] The company's PSE ticker symbol was changed to PSE: FB effective April 5, 2018.[9]
