CMI celebrates the graduation of 577 employees from laUcmi Technical Training Program

At CMI, Corporación Multi Inversiones, we believe in the transformative power of knowledge and in continuous learning as a driver of growth for our people and operations. Therefore, we proudly celebrate the graduation of 577 employees who completed the Technical Training Program developed through laUcmi, in collaboration with the Technical Training and Productivity Institute (INTECAP), during 2025. This achievement represents a significant step toward their professional development and reaffirms our commitment to “create, with family warmth, opportunities that change lives.”

This program continues to expand its reach and impact. Currently, it has 949 participants, of whom 577 graduates come from various business units within CMI Foods, including Meat Solutions, B4B, B4C, and Restaurants & Retail. Through this initiative, participants strengthen the technical and operational capabilities that contribute to business performance and operational excellence.

The technical training courses offered this year covered key disciplines for industrial operations and workplace safety, including:

In total, participants completed 10,585 hours of training, achieving a 95% attendance rate and a 98% overall satisfaction rate, demonstrating both the quality of the program and the commitment of its participants.

Recognized as the first Latin American corporate university certified by The Learning & Performance Institute (LPI) in London, laUcmi continues to be a strategic pillar of CMI’s organizational development. Since its creation more than a decade ago, it has trained over 30,000 employees across Central America, the United States, and the Caribbean through flexible, innovative, and high-impact learning experiences.

The partnership between laUcmi and INTECAP has proven highly valuable and strategic. Through a relationship built on trust and collaboration, both organizations have adapted training content to business needs, implemented practical simulation-based methodologies, and ensured effective learning experiences aligned with operational realities.

Graduates highlighted the immediate application of the knowledge acquired throughout the program. Car, truck, and motorcycle drivers strengthened their safe and responsible driving skills; refrigeration, air conditioning, welding, electrical, and maintenance teams optimized preventive and corrective maintenance processes; and forklift operators and warehouse personnel reinforced safe practices, contributing to improved productivity and enhanced quality standards.

One of the main challenges participants faced during their training was coordinating schedules and transportation to INTECAP facilities, which required discipline and organization. However, these challenges were successfully overcome through collaborative planning, logistical support from team leaders, and flexible scheduling arrangements.

Graduates identified practical mastery of tools and equipment, enhanced industrial safety practices, stronger teamwork, discipline, and the pride of representing CMI with technical excellence as some of the program’s most valuable outcomes.

This initiative is also a reflection of the REIR values that guide our corporate culture. Throughout the program, participants demonstrated Excellence by applying their learning with commitment; Responsibility through the proper use of resources and adherence to safety standards; Integrity in their actions and decision-making; and Respect in their interactions and collaborative work.

At CMI, we reaffirm our commitment to promoting programs that strengthen both the technical and soft skills of our employees, creating opportunities that transform lives and contribute to a sustainable future for all.

Currently, CMI is led by the third generation of the family, with Juan José Gutiérrez Mayorga serving as President-Chairman of CMI Foods and Felipe Bosch Gutiérrez serving as President-Chairman of CMI Capital. Together, they remain committed to investing in sustainable development and creating opportunities to grow together through programs and initiatives that foster entrepreneurship and shared prosperity.
