Barentz recently announced that Distribuciones Industriales Variadas, S.A.— known as Divsa — had changed its name to Barentz. The name change follows Barentz’s acquisition of Divsa, which was announced in March 2022.
With branches in Guatemala, the Dominican Republic, Honduras, El Salvador, Costa Rica and Panama, Barentz says it will continue Divsa’s 25 years of customer service in the region.
Mike McKenna, president of Barentz for North America, says this development is crucial to the company’s strategic development in Central America.
In other Barentz news, the company announced the name change for Origination, a distributor of animal feed products that Barentz acquired in 2021. Barentz says the company’s focus on production automation and strategic access to river, rail and road transportation allows for extensive domestic and international distribution.
