Grupo Fuertes Acquires Jamones Albarracín to Enter Ham Processing
Spanish agri-food company Grupo Fuertes has acquired Jamones Albarracín, a Spanish ham processor based in Teruel. The acquisition marks the group's entry into ham processing and aligns with its strategy of strengthening core operations through diversification within food production. Financial terms were not disclosed. Jamones Albarracín specializes in salting, drying, and curing hams across three plants owned by the Dobón family. It will continue operating under its current model while Fuertes plans to invest further for modernization and increased capacity. This move follows recent expansions into chicken production via Tolvasa and Paasa acquisitions earlier this year. Fuertes is a diversified group with interests in livestock, dairy processing, mineral water, wine, real estate, and petrochemicals. The acquisition supports its broader strategy of vertical integration across the food supply chain.
