About Capsicum Prologic
Built by
an operator.
Capsicum Prologic rests on thirty years of running, building and selling businesses in this industry, not on advising them.
Why We Exist
Someone who has been inside the machine.
Capsicum Prologic was founded by Jose “Pepe” Garcia after three decades building, running and ultimately selling a global business in paprika, spices, dehydrated vegetables, herbs and agricultural commodities, and running companies in Spain, Mexico, Peru and the United States. That path covered every dimension of the industry: sourcing volatility, food safety compliance, EBITDA pressure, working capital, and the complexity of preparing an industrial operation for external scrutiny and a transaction.
That experience changes how a mandate is run. Every recommendation comes from someone who has taken the same decisions with his own capital at stake, and who has sat on the seller’s side of a transaction and knows what a buyer will look for.

Proprietary Methodology
The Industrial Diamond
The operating architecture of every food ingredients business. EBITDA rarely leaks inside a single function; it leaks where they meet.
Production
Drying, grinding, blending, sterilization, packaging. Line efficiency, throughput benchmarks, CapEx prioritization. We read a plant the way others read a balance sheet.
Quality
ASTA colour, microbiology, food safety compliance, IFS, BRCGS and GlobalG.A.P., forced-labour audits, ESG traceability. The compliance layer that unlocks or kills the transaction.
Sales
Customer mix, pricing discipline, CRM maturity, channel structure. The commercial reality behind the revenue line: what it earns and what it costs to earn it.
How We Work
Senior judgement on every mandate.
Small by design. Every engagement is led by the people who have run the operations they are assessing.
- Principal-led
- Every mandate is led personally by the founder. No junior analysts, no theoretical frameworks.
- Specialists where the asset is
- When a mandate needs presence in an origin or destination market, we bring in senior specialists from a network built over 30 years in the sector.
- Board-level deliverables
- Every finding is quantified in EBITDA impact and translated into decisions with owners and dates.
- Confidential by default
- Strict confidentiality from the first conversation through delivery and beyond. Mandates, clients and findings are never disclosed without the client’s consent. NDA available upon request.
Next Step
Thirty years of operating experience, one conversation away.
