Investor-backed Spanish food business Pastas Gallo is reorganising its pasta operations by consolidating production and packaging of the dried variety under one roof at its plant in the city of El Carpio, located in Cordovan province.
Dried pasta currently manufactured at the company’s facility in Granollers, Barcelona, will be switched to El Carpio, a spokesperson for Pastas Gallo confirmed, adding in a statement: “The aim of this new strategy is to consolidate and redefine the roles of its factories”.

Pasta Gallos has two other sites near Barcelona, located at Esparraguera, producing gluten-free pasta, and Sant Vicenç dels Horts, home to Ta-Tung, a manufacturer of Asian-style ready-meals the company acquired last summer.
The Spanish company itself was bought out by local private-equity firm ProA Capital in 2019.
Future plans for the Granollers facility are currently being considered in what, according to the statement provided, amounts to “important projects”, which will be announced shortly.
Negotiations with employees have already started amid an initial offer for 37 staff to transfer to El Carpio, or other Pastas Gallo plants for the remaining 37. But the outcome and timing will depend on the results of those talks, the spokesperson said.
“In order to implement this move, a decision has been taken that commits to the continuity of work contracts and the retention of experience through the option of a collective transfer,” the statement read.
