Overview

  • Campofrío has earmarked €134 million for the Utiel site and €23 million for new production lines at its La Bureba plant in Burgos.
  • Utiel was selected for its strong logistical connections and proximity to distribution hubs and food sector suppliers in Valencia province.
  • The facility is designed to exceed the former plant’s capacity, enabling faster adaptation to evolving demand for processed meats across Spain and Europe.
  • It will feature advanced environmental measures, including solar energy installations and biogas production from plant waste.
  • Over 300 employees affected by the October 2024 Torrent flood will be rehired, bolstering local employment and industrial recovery.
