Costa Food offers semi-processed pork, sausages, hams and Iberian pork under the brands Casademont, Villar and La Nuncia.

Chief executive Jorge Costa said: “It is key to be able to position ourselves as a reference provider for our clients. We want to be able to offer them a wide portfolio of products, so that we can supervise all traceability from origin to commercialisation in order to establish collaborative relationships in the medium term.”

Aviserrano, which will see its management team remain in place, generates a turnover of more than EUR315m (US$340.3m), compared to a forecast from Costa Food for its own business of EUR1.6bn for 2020. The companies employ around 1,800 and 4,000 workers each, respectively.
