Our origins date back to the 1940s with a pig trading business.
Over the years, the business grew and was passed down through generations until, in the 1990s, livestock production was complemented by slaughtering and butchering.
Today, led by the Samper family, we manage all processes in the pork production chain and have diversified our business areas with renewable energy activities, rural estates, and hardwood plantations.
