History in time and management changes
Paramonga was considered the geographical key to the Coastal Empire, for its strategic location in territories ambitious by the Incas. A mute witness to what our ancestors did to defend their territory is the Fortress of Paramonga.
The Spaniards called this area “parmonguila”, according to writings dating from 1549, signed by Fray Lope de la Fuente and the noble Gregorio de la Peña, found in the Mirador de la Barranca, where the Christ the Redeemer of the province is currently located.
During the Spanish conquest, they hand over the Paramonga area to the Convent of the Paulinos. In 1860, Don Joaquín de Asín acquired the rustic paramonga fund with sugarcane plantations. Later, the Canaval Family introduces new technological elements of the time to turn it into the Hacienda Sociedad Agrícola Paramonga. Subsequently, the transnational Grace & Co. acquires the property and turns it into a paper chemical agro-industrial complex, which became a benchmark of the industry for many years.
The military government of General Juan Velasco Alvarado divided the Paramonga industrial complex into two companies: the Paramonga Ltda. Society, a state-owned company for the production of paper and chemicals, and the Paramonga Sugar Agricultural Cooperative Ltda. No. 37, which was ceded in property to its workers and dedicated to sugar production. After twenty years of cooperativism, in the early 1990s, rules were given to refloat sugar companies that were broken, turning them into public limited companies.
In 1996, the company Río Pativilca bought most of the company’s shares and in 1997, the Wong Group introduced a modern management style, with a philosophy of teamwork and continuous improvement, achieving productive results never before recorded.
