La Comarca Meats plans to build a large slaughterhouse
La Comarca Meats announced the public from the region of Murcia about its intention to build an industrial slaughterhouse with a capacity of up to 16,000 pigs/day in the Serrata de Lorca industrial estate. Also, the company requested environmental authorization for an expansion of its current cutting room with the aim of reaching 12,000 channels/day. The project is yet to be defined in all its details but this is simply the first legal step to take to get it started. The application for the environmental impact study and the documentation related to the application for integrated environmental authorization will be available to the public for 30 days after the publication of the announcement.
Recently, La Comarca Meats along with Grupo Alimentario de Lorca, Ingelor and Labor Alimentaria have joined forces to create a meat holding company called LCFG (La Comarca Food Group). Its operation will be that of a multi-brand corporate group focused on business expansion in the national and international meat sector, responding to the demands of quality and control of the most demanding meat markets in the world, as well as satisfying the needs of quality and proximity of the consumers.
The contribution of each of the companies will be the following:
- Grupo Alimentario de Lorca (La Comarca), the oldest company in the group, will continue its activity focused on the national meat sector and on the commitment to offer consumers a brand of quality and local meat products;
- The Comarca Meats will continue its activity in the new facilities inaugurated in the last year, and will maintain its expansion in the industrial meat sector and in international markets;
- Ingelor (Ingeniería y Mantenimiento de Lorca, S.L.), was born with the aim of specializing and deepening the branch of industrial meat engineering of companies and offering the best technologies and innovation to each one of them;
- Labor Alimentaria (Laboratorio y Servicios Técnicos Alimentarios S.L.) focuses its activity as a quality laboratory specialized in R + D + i, services, advice and diagnosis in the food industry as well as in environmental management and animal welfare.
In the near future, the holding company plans to create new companies specialized in other branches of the food industry, which will offer services to both the holding companies and the entire meat and food sector.
