Our expertise
Combining more than 20 years of experience and a great innovative and industrial capacity, we offer our customers the best service and highest food safety and quality products.
We have control over the entire process: from the seeds used for our crops, to the products served on your table. Our focus on efficiency, sustainability and ongoing improvement enables us to be leaders in our sector. This makes us the best possible partner for the development of innovative fresh-cut products and salad topping trays.

Industrial capacity
Our 3 production centres, located strategically in different points around Spain: Riba-roja de Túria (Valencia), Antequera (Málaga) and Aranda de Duero (Burgos) enable us to guarantee maximum product freshness and year-round availability to our customers in Spain, France and Portugal. In addition, our Group has 3 more processing plants for fresh-cut products.
Our facilities are equipped with the latest technology to produce a wide range of ready-to-eat and cook products. At our plant in Antequera, Málaga, we centralise the production of topping trays for the Group’s entire product range in Spain, as well as for international customers.
Our industrial potential is backed up by our agricultural capacity: 5,000 hectares of our own crops. This enables us to supply our plants all year round, as well as to have full control over the entire chain: from the field to the consumer.
Innovation
Innovation is our main ingredient. At Verdifresh we take the latest food trends and turn them into healthy product solutions in practical formats, anticipating our customers’ and market needs.
Every year we invest over 1 million euros in R&D. We reinforce our investment in innovation with alliances and collaboration projects with the most prestigious universities and technology centres.
Food safety and quality
Maximum food safety and quality are ensured across our entire production chain: from our fields and crops, to our processing plants, through to our suppliers and the end product.
We guarantee strict traceability checks on 100% of our products, right from the seed. Moreover, all of our plants are equipped with the latest food safety technology and quality control. Each plant has its own laboratory, where safety and quality checks are carried out on all product batches every single day. We perform over 60,000 product and raw material analyses every year.
We have implemented the strictest protocols in terms of food safety, quality and environmental sustainability. Our plants are certified with the most demanding international seals in this field.
Our
suppliers
We work together with our suppliers to guarantee the best raw materials and complete traceability of our products along the chain.
This supplier model is included in our Quality Model, which establishes a rigorous standardisation and auditing system ensuring the safety and quality of the raw materials we work with.
All of our agricultural suppliers are certified with the international standard Global G.A.P. for good agricultural practices. We also have suppliers who are certified in the supply of sauces and raw materials for producing our salad topping trays.
Sustainability
We are committed to sustainability. We act responsibly in our day-to-day activity, favouring the environment and creating alliances with different social, business and sectorial associations to generate a positive impact on our society.
As a responsible, innovative company, we include sustainability and ecodesign criteria in our packaging. We use the lowest weight and least amount of materials possible, striving to offer more sustainable packaging solutions to customers and consumers.
At present, in our ready-to-eat salad range, 80% of the plastic in the containers is made from recycled materials and 100% of our cardboard packaging is FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) certified.
Out in our fields and at our plants, we also work to minimise the impact of our activity. To do this, we work on the continuous improvement of our agricultural practices and logistics planning, always favouring an efficient use of resources. All Verdifresh plants have the environmental certification ISO 14001.
In addition, our Aranda and Antequera plants are certified to produce salads with tuna with the Marine Stewardship Council's blue seal for sustainable fishing.
