Latest news from Cono Group

The Board of Directors of Cono has named Francisco Balestrini as its new CEO. Francisco Balestrini takes on his new role on 2 November 2020, succeeding Pablo Marziotte.

We thought it was time for a change, so we’ve given our website a makeover and the Cono logo a facelift. It’s not simply change for change’s sake, however. Our business has evolved over the past four decades, but especially in the last few years. In that time, we’ve greatly expanded our product range and our service offerings to clients in Argentina and in the 50 countries where we do business. We wanted the website and logo to reflect the modern identity of the company and our new market presence.

Cono has been working with nonprofit organisations in Argentina to help address food shortages and health and safety needs during the COVID-19 pandemic. So far this year, we’ve donated more than 1 million food rations, including chickpeas, beans and corn to alleviate food shortages in Cordoba and Buenos Aires and help support vulnerable children and their families. 

At Cono, preserving our natural resources is essential, which is why the production of our crops is always geared towards sustainability. We want to ensure our soil stays healthy and fertile in the long term so managing soil carbon levels is particularly important.
