We are proud to be celebrating an important new milestone for our Alagón site in Spain. Three years after launching an ambitious industrial development plan, the site has completed a new phase of expansion, further strengthening its role within our international production network.
This achievement is the result of a journey shaped over time through investments, innovation and the expertise of the people who contribute every day to the evolution of our site.
By investing €15 million, we have doubled our gluten-free bread production capacity, one of the leading categories within our portfolio. At the same time, the expansion of the site’s logistics platform is progressing. An additional 2,000 square metres of storage space is currently being added, with completion expected by the end of the year.
Since 2023, total investments allocated to Alagón have increased to €38.8 million, supporting significant growth also in terms of employment: the team has expanded from around 130 to more than 210 employees, further strengthening the site’s contribution to the company’s development and the local area.
Founded in 2011 following the acquisition of Natural Aliment Factory, today Alagón is one of our main industrial hubs. With more than 10,000 square metres of production space and three dedicated lines for manufacturing gluten-free bread and bakery products, the site represents a strategic reference point not only for our global network, but also for the local industrial ecosystem.
Alagón is also the only facility dedicated to producing sweet bakery products distributed across all the countries where we operate and represents a strategic platform for exports. Thanks to the most recent investments in the bread category, the site is taking on an increasingly important role in supplying strategic markets such as France, the United Kingdom and the United States.
The growth of the site is also adding value for the local community in Zaragoza, by creating new employment opportunities, strengthening the local industrial and logistics ecosystem, and enhancing the skills and expertise present in the area.
This new milestone confirms our commitment to building sustainable long-term growth by combining innovation and a focus on the quality of our offering: these elements enable us to continue developing high-quality gluten-free products each and every day, products that are capable of meeting the expectations of consumers who are increasingly seeking natural and high-quality foods.
