Heineken N.V. has completed the acquisition of Florida Ice and Farm Company (FIFCO)’s beverage and retail businesses in Central America, after receiving all necessary regulatory and corporate approvals. The operation consolidates the brewing group’s presence in the region and expands its portfolio of local brands, including the popular Imperial beer.
The integration of operations has already begun and is expected to be completed during 2026. As part of the agreement, Rolando Carvajal, current CEO of FIFCO, will join Heineken to lead the combined operations and ensure management continuity.
The agreement, initially announced in September 2025, includes the acquisition of assets, brands, and commercial networks in several Central American countries. The transaction reinforces Heineken’s expansion strategy in the region and its capacity to serve both the beverage and retail markets.
