CEX Capital has approved its participation in the Grupo Huevos Guillén project, which involves the construction of a new free-range laying hen farm in Ribera del Fresno, with a total investment of €14.5 million.
The Corporation is participating in this transaction as an equity partner, further strengthening a strategic relationship with the group that dates back to 1995. This new initiative will help consolidate the project’s footprint in Extremadura and advance its industrial and productive development in the region.
As Agustín Delgado, President of CEX Capital, stated: “The participation and support of CEX Capital have been key to ensuring that this project is developed and rooted in Extremadura, working alongside the management team from the outset to make it viable and firmly establish it in the region.”
The project foresees the construction of a poultry complex in Ribera del Fresno with capacity for 320,000 birds distributed across eight laying houses, with an estimated production of nearly 100 million eggs per year. It is also expected to create more than 60 direct jobs, in addition to a positive impact on indirect employment in the area linked to this activity.
The facility will be developed progressively and will consist of five production units adapted to a free-range farming system, fully guaranteeing the birds’ access to designated outdoor areas, in line with current industry standards. The installation has already received a favourable environmental impact assessment.
Investment roadmap for 2026
This project forms part of the investment roadmap defined by CEX Capital for 2026, which also includes other major initiatives in Extremadura, such as the UNINDE university project.
In this regard, Agustín Delgado recalled that: “The investment plan scheduled for 2026 will allow us to continue participating in strategic business initiatives with strong development potential and aligned with Extremadura’s economic priorities.”
The new transaction alongside Huevos Guillén reinforces CEX Capital’s strategy of acting as a strategic partner in business projects with growth potential, supporting companies in their expansion and consolidation processes from a long-term perspective.
