What the sources say
Researched 2026-09-13 (tray SUB-00018); no held claim preceded it. The company ended in 1932; the Oriental brewery and its Parque Múnich/Oriental closed in 1953, and FNC used the Atahualpa plant until 1959, then subdivided the site in 1960. Wikidata's 1937 is unsupported by any source found.
Ownership history is kept as dated events, so a change of owner never overwrites the one before it.
