Vall Companys Group reports a turnover of 4.163 Billion
According to the annual accounts soon to be filed with Spain's Commercial Registry, the group's growth was driven by two main factors: pork prices on the Mercolleida market—which has remained relatively high, though slightly lower than in 2023—and several business operations. These included the integration of Montesano into Frimancha Canarias (a group subsidiary in the Canary Islands) and the acquisitions of Ganaderías Casaseca in Castile and León, Comercial Vera in Palma de Mallorca, and Paletas Marpa in the Valencian Community.
The Vall Companys Group’s sales are distributed across diverse business divisions, each with both domestic and international sales channels. Of the total turnover, the three main business divisions stand out: 49.3% came from the pork division, 22% from poultry and 15% from flour.
Sales in the flour and poultry divisions are primarily domestic, with approximately 7% exported—similar to the previous year. Pork exports, however, account for 40%, with Central Europe standing out as the top destination, followed by Asian markets.
True to the Group's philosophy of continuous reinvestment, Vall Companys recognises that this commitment is key to maintaining its competitive leadership in the Spanish and global agri-food sector. That is why it continues to invest in its facilities in order to be a leader in innovation, quality and food safety.
During the financial year of 2024, it invested 118 million euros to improve the Group's facilities. The company’s policy of continuous reinvestment is a cornerstone of its stability, ensuring both national and international competitiveness. Between 2021 and 2024, the total investment in plant upgrades for the Group's companies amounted to 420 million euros.
The company achieved a net margin of 6.7% on sales to third parties, resulting in a net profit of 279 million euros. This represents an increase of nearly one percentage point compared to 2023. The improvement is due to several factors: the Group's ability to maintain production costs that are more competitive than market prices, its strategic hedging policy for sourcing raw materials for animal feed and energy, and the effective use of commercial synergies.
Welfare State and Supporting Rural Spain
Beyond profitability and the 118 million euros invested in industrial infrastructure, Vall Companys Group’s activities have broader positive impacts across Spain. The company contributes socially to the welfare state and to supporting rural areas in Spain.
In this context, it is noteworthy that the company contributed 174 million in taxes and social security payments on behalf of the group's companies, representing a clear contribution to the welfare state.
It is also worth highlighting that the company ended 2024 with a total of 14,406 direct jobs across its production plants and central services—an increase of 3% compared to the end of 2023. Most of these jobs are located in rural areas of Spain, where the Vall Companys Group operates its production centres.
The Group has also made continuous professional training an asset to foster internal talent. In 2024, it invested over 480,000 euros and provided more than 41,000 hours of training to its staff. Thanks to these efforts and other employability policies, the Vall Companys Group has earned the Top Employer certificate for the fifth consecutive year. This certificate recognises the Group as one of Spain’s leading employers.
International Expansion in Latin America
Since 2017, Vall Companys Group has gradually established itself as a minority shareholder in several companies across Latin America, including Peru, Colombia, Mexico, Uruguay, and Brazil. All operations aim to build synergies, share know-how, and strengthen the livestock and meat value chain. The Group’s investment decisions have focused on markets with domestic production deficits, where there is a need to boost local production.
In 2024, the Group’s corporate structure in Latin America included a 45% stake in Vallpork Mexico and a 33% stake in Master Agroindustrial in Brazil. During the year, the company expanded its production capacity to include 18,000 sows, additional pig farms, and a feed mill.
In Brazil, Master Agroindustrial now manages up to 39,000 sows and over one million pigs for breeding, along with industrial facilities capable of slaughtering 3,000 pigs per day. In total, the company employs more than 2,000 people and works with 320 farmers.
The Group has strengthened its international presence. In recent years, thanks to exports, numerous talented local professionals have been able to grow professionally by specialising in international trade. Currently, this expansion process also represents a growth opportunity for many professionals within the Vall Companys Group.
Innovation and Circular Economy
The Vall Companys Group remains firmly committed to the valorisation of co-products from its production process. In previous years, it has launched projects to extract functional proteins from plasma and haemoglobin, and procedures have been initiated for an industrial project to obtain heparin from pig intestinal mucosa, in collaboration with the pharmaceutical company Bioibérica.
