Museum in Arroyito. One year later, Arcor Group acquired "Dos en Uno", a Chilean leading company of sugar and chocolate confectionery, with a strong presence in the region. By 2003, Arcor had incomes for US$800 million and had 13,000 employees (9,000 in Argentina). In 2004, Arcor associated with French conglomerate Danone to take over Bagley, a local producer of crackers and other cookies. Bagley had been acquired by Danone in 1994. With this partnership, Arcor–Danone became the largest cookies manufacturer in South America, with a turnover of US$300 million. Arcor owned 51% of Bagley, and Danone 49%. This alliance was only for the cookies market, with both companies carrying on the rest of their business separately. The political and economic crises which the large Argentine agro-industrial companies suffered by the end of 2001, hit Arcor badly. Arcor was able to restructure its debt on December 1, 2008 with up to 5-year financing. Nevertheless, during those years Arcor acquired Benvenuto SACI, the company that owned La Campagnola brand, for US$40 million in 2005. Through this acquisition, Arcor incorporated some of La Campagnola canned products such as tuna, tomatoes, peas, and dips. At the moment of the purchase, Benvenuto employed 2,000 people that became part of the Arcor staff. Arcor totalised a total of 14,000 employees in Argentina by then. Arcor Group settled in Europe in 2002 through the opening of commercial offices in Barcelona, Spain.
