IBÉRICA DE PATATAS is a pioneer company in the production and commercialisation of potatoes in Spain.

Established in 1946, it is incorporated into the Group in 1984. It is the first company to modernise the origin of the seed in Spain, incorporating potatoes from exterior markets, mainly France and Holland, improving both production and quality.

We are a company with strong ties to Madrid, with warehouses in Calle Atocha, Paseo de la Esperanza and subsequently, in Mercamadrid since the establishment of these facilities. At that time, we established ourselves in Mercamadrid to facilitate distribution, and today, we consider it the most strategic distribution point for the national market.

We are pioneers in three basic concepts concerning the distribution of potatoes:

1) Producing the best quality, certified seeds
2) Conserving the potatoes through washing and maintaining constant temperatures in cold rooms
3) Creating different types of packaging to meet the demands of both wholesale and retail buyers

In our effort to continuously improve the production and commercialisation processes of the potato, we inaugurated our facilities in 2004 offering 15,000 square metres of climate controlled space, including the latest technologies for washing, conserving and manipulating potatoes.

Furthermore, our quality control systems are certified under regulation ISO 9001/2000 by BVQI, accredited by ENAC (Spain), UKAS (United Kingdom) and COFRAC (France). We also develop internal control systems for APPCC (Analysis of Hazards and Critical Control Points) and international IFS (International Food Standard) regulations that allow us to reconcile the requirements of the distributors concerning Food Safety. We also have the Services Certification QUALICERT for the "Distribution of fresh potatoes", given by SGS and were pioneers in receiving this type of certificate in the potato sector.

Our latest project includes developing the fourth tier production process and for this, we have implemented a system for peeling, cutting and vacuum packaging fresh potatoes, which we are currently developing with IMADE and the INSTITUTO VALENCIANO DE AGRICULTURA, including techniques to improve the conservation of fresh potatoes without using any type of additive.

Our goal for upcoming years is not only to reach the restaurant sector, but also to become a reference in fresh, peeled potatoes in every home, for cooking in the microwave, for frying, etc..., ready to cook, without any type of preparation necessary and forgetting about frozen potatoes, offering the highest quality product to the most modern households.

We will continue to provide innovations for the potato industry in all corresponding fields.
