Consolidation in the pig industry intensified in Spain

Three companies - Goikoa, Alejandro Miguel and Los Alecos - united under the name GAM Family.

A new food group emerged in Spain when three companies - Goikoa, Alejandro Miguel and Los Alecos - merged under the name GAM Family. The new company has a turnover of 250 million euros and is present in more than 50 countries around the world. The three companies have already collaborated with each other, each sharing their deep market knowledge. With very similar profiles, the three companies have a strong and recognized track record in the sector, specialization in strategic areas and proximity to customer needs. The similarities between the three operators contributed to this collaboration.

Goikoa is a family business specializing in sausages with a history of almost 100 years. The company is one of the five largest producers of cured sliced ​​sausages in Spain with a current production capacity of 12,000 tons per year. it has a wide range that includes chorizo, chitorra, boiled ham, serrano ham, salami, turkey breast, appetizers, salami, bacon, etc.

Alejandro Miguel is well known for its Duroc pork products, sold under the brands Alejandro Miguel for fresh MEAT and Artysan for processed products. Ten years ago, the company began its journey in the world of Iberian ham, where today it is an important operator and markets its products under the Altanera brand.

Alecos is a well-known name among pig producers in Spain. a company engaged in the production of pigs, mainly breeding and raising pigs with high value-added genetic lines, which guarantees the highest quality of meat. The mission of the company since its founding in 1967 has been based on animal welfare and sustainability. The company has nearly 100 collaborating farmers and has sales in excess of 50,000,000 euros. It has reference certificates in animal welfare and production without antibiotics. All three companies are based in the province of Navarre.

Thus, the GAM Family is born with a vocation for innovation, growth, serving consumers with ever-changing trends, but without losing its family origin based on work and effort, on the pursuit of quality as the highest principle.

 “We are starting a new phase in which we reinforce all our values ​​by bringing together all our experience in the service of the market and society,” emphasizes the official statement with which the group is presented. Thus, GAM Family becomes not just an amalgamation of three companies, but a family project with a desire for continuity, backed by a strong specialization of each of its members. A synergy alliance that will allow us to stay closer to customers, but with more ability and flexibility to meet any type of demand, both inside and outside our borders, says the group.
