The business of meat and its derivatives in tourism faces a new concentration process given that Jucarne does not have a solid network and Ansaro is not in the battle of supply to tourism and is not expected either. This is a market that affects sectors such as tourist supermarkets, residential areas, sausages and meats in hotels.
The Catalan company Frimancha is advancing in its process of purchasing part of the Montesano business, which will be in the operations center of Grupo Vall Companys on the islands. According to data from Alimarket, Montesano will contribute a business portfolio of 37 million euros to the Frimancha business. The news in Las Palmas and Tenerife has been censored because Montesano has many interests. At most, they have been able to call the matter "integration."
The new 'Frimansano' will have the Montesano network, the Frimancha Canarias cutting plant and commercial management. The headquarters will be in La Laguna, although the financial business will be in Las Palmas with a follow-up structure in Playa Honda (Lanzarote) and Los Llanos de Aridane (La Palma). The catalog will include meats and processed products of all species, as well as different fresh products from third parties. In 2021, the last known data, its turnover amounted to 31,9 million euros.
On the part of Montesano Canarias, it would contribute a business of more than €37 million, according to the information provided to Alimarket, and a volume of more than 1.536 tons of processed meat per year, which it manufactures in facilities of 20.000 square meters in its headquarters of El Rosario. Grupo Vall Companys is a family-owned and leading agri-food group in Spain, founded in 1956. The Group is associated with more than 2.100 livestock farmers and its operational model is based on the integration of all phases of the production process, guaranteeing complete traceability in all processes, in addition to high food safety and optimal and constant product quality.
