A Rich History of Growth and Innovation
CAPSA FOOD’s journey is marked by strategic acquisitions and pioneering initiatives. In 2024, it acquired 40% of INNOLACT S.L (QUESCREM), a Galician dairy company specializing in cream cheese. The previous year, it fully acquired Lácteas Flor de Burgos, S.L., strengthening its foothold in the cheese market. The company has been ahead of the curve with innovations like the first cap attached to the carton in 2022, anticipating the Waste Law of July 2024, and launching the “Carbon Neutral” carton. Going back a few years, CAPSA FOOD was the first dairy company to obtain B CORP certification in 2020 and the first Spanish company to achieve AENOR certifications for “Carbon Neutrality,” “Zero Waste,” and its “Circular Economy Strategy.”
Commitment to Sustainability and Circular Economy
CAPSA FOOD doesn’t just talk the talk — it walks the walk when it comes to sustainability. The company’s dedication is evident in its certifications and projects. It launched CAPSA VIDA in 2019, an investment vehicle focused on rural development and promoting health and sustainability in food. The company’s factories operate under strict standards to minimize waste and carbon emissions, aligning with its circular economy strategy. This commitment is not new; it dates back to initiatives like the Guarantee Livestock Seal in 2018 and the ESENCIA project in 2014, which focused on delivering pure milk without additives.
Innovations That Set CAPSA FOOD Apart
Innovation is at the heart of CAPSA FOOD’s DNA. From launching the first “Net Zero Emissions” bottle in 2021 to introducing new products and formats that cater to evolving consumer needs, the company continuously pushes boundaries. Its hospitality business unit, launched in 2006, and the development of new packaging like Gémina, show a clear focus on adapting to market trends. The company’s history of mergers and expansions, including the 2001 merger with Yogures Andaluces, S.A., and the 1997 merger with LARSA and ATO, have helped shape CAPSA FOOD into a diversified and international player in the dairy industry.
