“We tried to get the potato sector to advertise at a national level, because we wanted to value the potato, but there was no agreement. In 2018, seeing that it could not be done at a sector level, we decided to do it individually. We knew that it was a tremendous effort from an economic point of view, but we thought it was the way forward. Time has shown us that we were right and it has helped us to build an image of quality. That is what we have sought with advertising: to value and dignify the product and give it the prominence that we believe it should have in the shopping basket, regardless of the fact that it is such a basic product. It was about putting it in the place it deserved. And that advertising also has repercussions on the rest of the sector. We knew that someone had to lead it. It was us and we are very proud of it,” says Gómez.

Gómez states that between 2 and 2.5 million euros are allocated each year to all its lines of innovation, both in the improvement of the facilities, its production processes and management, as well as in the R&D&I of new products or packaging .

“We are incorporating the latest technologies. It is an industry 4.0, with a control area from where all orders are sent to production, which is fully monitored. We also have a data capture program in place that extracts all the information from the industrial machinery to be much more competitive. In addition, we have very advanced industrial machinery, both at the packaging and selection level: robotics, sorters/calibrators with artificial vision, etc. Likewise, digitalization and the programs we have allow us to control traceability from the field and in real time,” specifies the CEO.
