Grupo Calvo operated in the town of Guanta, Venezuela under the name "Atuneras del Oriente" (ATORSA) and, later, as Industrias Calvo Conservas de Venezuela S.A. Between 1991 and 2001, they had to temporarily close due to lack of tuna.
In 2003, Calvo opened a facility in El Salvador, specifically, in Puerto La Unión. In 2006, Calvo expanded its canned fish facility in Gomes da Costa, Brazil. In November 2008, Calvo closed its cannery in Laayoune, Western Sahara. In 2008, Calvo had a net profit of two million euros. Since 2017, the power of the company is 77.8% in the hands of the Calvo family and 22.2% in the hands of the Italian giant Bolton Group, who paid a total of 70 million to take over the shares they previously had. In 2017, and for the first time, it began to distribute its products under the white label of the Día supermarket chain.
