Longvie (ISIN ARP6356B1059) is reorganizing its three factories, with the production transfer scheduled for completion in November 2026, according to Infobae on October 1, 2026. The plan moves water-heater and stove production to Catamarca while Paraná focuses on large-scale water tanks and heaters and Villa Martelli concentrates on kitchens and ovens.

What the factory move means

Longvie told Argentina's securities regulator that the concentration should reduce production costs, increase capacity and improve operating efficiency. The company is also seeking scale benefits by combining processes previously spread across two plants, a strategy that could lower unit costs if production volumes recover.

The company is investing ARS 500 million to refurbish the Catamarca site, while the plant currently employs 60 people, according to Elonce on October 2, 2026. Specialization should free space in Paraná and Villa Martelli while preserving production at all three locations.

Losses raise the execution stakes

The operational changes come after a difficult first half. Yahoo Finance reported on October 2, 2026, that first-half 2026 sales fell from ARS 39.921 billion to ARS 35.569 billion, a decline of 10.91 percent, while the net loss widened from ARS 3.792 billion to ARS 6.035 billion.

That comparison gives the factory plan a clear financial test: the new layout must improve cost absorption while Longvie operates in a market facing greater import competition. The company has said the gradual transfer is intended to preserve customer supply during the transition.
