Group Structure
Group structure of MEIGAL – ALIMENTACAO, S.A.
MEIGAL – ALIMENTACAO, S.A. is not reported as an independent company. Multiple independent Portuguese business-press sources (Hipersuper, Despedimentos.pt, Interior do Avesso, and the Indeed employer-review listing "Meigal SA (Grupo Lusiaves)") consistently describe Meigal as a company of Grupo Lusiaves, a Leiria-based agri-food group reported to comprise more than 30 companies and generate group turnover above EUR 465 million. Internal directory data associates the company with an ultimate parent recorded as GRUPO LUSIAVES – SGPS, S.A. (Portugal, registration number 507438884); this is corroborated in substance by the independent press reporting above, though no source discloses an ownership or voting percentage, so the relationship is treated as confirmed in kind but with the percentage undisclosed. The same internal data records two entities carrying the Meigal name outside Portugal: MEIGAL ALIMENTACION ESPANA, SL (Spain, registration ES B21582218) and MEIGAL ALIMENTATION (France, registration FR 50982249000033). A dated official publication entry for MEIGAL – ALIMENTACAO, S.A. itself (6 September 2017) records a board appointment made "via Meigal Alimentation SAS," giving some independent support to a link with the French entity, though the precise relationship type and ownership percentage are not confirmed. No relationship to the Spanish entity could be independently corroborated beyond the internal data tree.
