We serve both large retail groups, with stores and local supermarkets in several European and Maghreb countries, and specialized meat distributors.
But our main target is the end consumer. For this reason, we create unique products designed for them, optimizing processes and creating synergies for the development of products that meet their tastes and needs.
Collaboration with companies specialized in agri-food auditing and certification is essential to ensure that our values and quality standards are respected throughout the production process.
To this end, we have partnered with Defhesa (Spanish Sustainable Beef Alliance) and Global SLP, dedicated to ensuring the protection of consumers and the environment, sustainable production, and the promotion of social and animal welfare.
Our mission is to provide society with a sustainable project for the meat sector, with quality and sustainability as fundamental values. We work in the knowledge that all efforts aimed at meeting the highest quality standards will undoubtedly lead to progress towards the sustainability of the sector.
To this end, we focus on production methods that ensure at all times:
Responsible use of resources through efficiency, innovation, digitalization, and the development of appropriate management plans.
Farms that allow livestock to live in harmony with the environment and comply with the highest Animal Welfare standards.
Efficient consumption of resources, generating as little waste as possible. Achieving this is a contribution to the sustainability of beef farms.
Innovation in beef production to contribute to the maintenance and development of the rural world, the creation and maintenance of employment, and the improvement of the living conditions of workers in the sector.
Guarantees and certifications against deforestation and conservation of CO2 emission reduction parameters.
