History
The Company was incorporated as an Argentine limited liability corporation (sociedad anónima) in 1945 under the name Frigorífico La Pampa S.A. In 2003, the former business activities, which were limited to the ownership and operation of a warehouse building, were suspended. In 2005, the Company was acquired by the principals of Grupo EMES (formerly Grupo Dolphin), an Argentine private equity group, to serve as a corporate vehicle for its investments in Argentina. The name was changed first to Pampa Holding S.A., and subsequently to Pampa Energía S.A., given the Company’s focus on the energy industry.
Since this change, it begins a story highlighting one goal: to become one of leading energy companies in Argentina. The following timeline summarizes the Company’s milestones:
