Hypor's growth in Latin America has been strengthened with the formal creation of Hypor Mexico on July 23, 2008. 

The new company, Hypor Mexico S. de R.L de C.V., is owned by Hypor B.V. (99 percent) and Hendrix Genetics (1 percent). The newly created company will spearhead the distribution of Hypor's genetics into the growing Mexican market.

Hypor entered the Mexican market in 2002 and has two dealerships in Mexico for the central western and central eastern parts of the country. Hypor Mexico will manage the northern part including Sonora State and Yucantan State in the southeast directly.

In a month's time, Hypor will populate a nucleus farm, run by Nutriservicios, with 500 great grandparent (GGP) sows.

Hypor Mexico is a subsidiary of Hypor, the Pig Breeding Division of multi-species breeding company Hendrix Genetics headquartered in Boxmeer, the Netherlands. With a number of wholly owned operations and joint ventures across the world in 24 countries on 4 continents, it serves the world's poultry and pork industry in more than 100 countries with about 1,000 employees.
