HISTORY

1950:

At the beginning of the decade of the ’50s, Mr Raúl Pérez Serani begins his agricultural activities in Monteverde Farm, which has an extension of approximately 250 hectares, located in the commune of Tucapel in the foothills of the Bío-Bío province. From the beginning, and, as it was common in the agriculture of the area, he started an agricultural/forestry company under his own name.

1960:

In the ’60s, the activities that gave origin to the company continued to develop, adding new agricultural and forest properties. The two most important and the ones with the greatest transcendence were Las Astas and Santa Beatriz Farms. In addition, during this decade the sawmilling activities began, acquiring new portable «locomotive» saw mills (steam machines) which facilitated the work in the acquired forests.
Towards the end of the same decade, a lumber mill was established in the commune of Tucapel to process logs from our own forests, marketing the products in Santiago and nearby areas.

1970:

During these years, the future and destiny of the company were founded with the acquisition of a wheat mill in the city of Huepil, in which around 300 quintals of flour were initially produced per day. It was located in a lot adjacent to the sawmill where our logs were processed. The flour then produced was able to satisfy the nutritional needs of the families of the area and small bakeries of the commune and its surroundings, including the cities of Los Angeles and Concepción.

1980:

In the ‘80s, we continued the path linked to the agricultural and forest activity. In addition to this, the local expansion of the flour milling activity is initiated, as well as our sawmill, which already counted with two premises of direct sales of the produced wood. The first one located inside the commune of Tucapel and the second one in the city of Santiago.
This decade is essential for the progress of the company because it manages to consolidate a significant growth in terms of land area for eminently agricultural and forestry uses.
At the end of the decade and after the death of Mr Raúl Pérez Serani’s wife, the company undergoes an important transformation, becoming a closed corporation of family origin, with him and his seven children as direct partners of said organization. This is a crucial moment in which it adopts the denomination that the company carries until today; «MONTEVERDE S.A.».

1990:

During the first years of this decade, there is a considerable modernization and expansion of the wheat mill, gradually and substantially increasing its production capacity and quality. The final project of our oat mill begins to be worked on and shaped. Later on, it will be consolidated towards the last years of this decade, making its first exports abroad, with its main destination being Central and South America.

2000:

In the new millennium, the definitive modernization of the wheat mill is consolidated. We managed to establish the capacity of production that we have today with the last-generation technology that turns us into one of the main referents as for quality and service of the south of Chile.
In the same way, our oat mill is gradually positioned and recognized abroad, making «Monteverde SA» a synonym of quality, responsibility, and experience in terms of processed oat exports.
