Artadi Alimentación

Artadi Alimentación S.L. is a Spanish food manufacturer based in Zumaia, on the Basque coast about 40 km from San Sebastián, and it trades under the brand OKIN. The name OKIN means "baker" in Euskera (Basque), and the company was founded in 1994 as a family business. It specialises in frozen pre-baked bread (pan precocido congelado), a category in which it has become particularly recognised for its rustic breads, where it describes itself as a leader. The company positions itself around a "Clean Label" philosophy, meaning breads made without additives or preservatives, and it has built its identity on treating bread as a gastronomic treasure rooted in Basque baking culture. OKIN's product range is aimed primarily at the foodservice and hospitality sector (hostelería), as well as retail. Its portfolio includes baguettes, rustic breads, small-format breads designed to be ready in about five minutes of baking, and reduced-size boxes intended to save time and space for professional kitchens. Notable product families and lines mentioned by the company include Rustikos, Gastro, Barra Gourmet, Ready (thaw-and-serve), Integramente Integral (100% wholemeal breads), Kasa (a high-hydration, 24-hour fermentation artisan-style water bread), and AKUA, a range of custom frozen bread solutions for hospitality. The company has also developed a hospitality concept called BOCATA NORDICØ and a new hospitality concept branded HIP. In terms of sustainability and recognition, OKIN received a bronze medal from EcoVadis in its first sustainability audit, and it states that its bread is made with energy from 100% renewable sources. The company marked 25 years in business in 2019 (having been founded in 1994) and describes itself as having 30 years of baking experience. It remains a family-owned private company, with its registered address at Polígono Industrial Jose María Korta, parcela 5, 20750 Zumaia (Gipuzkoa), Spain, and CIF B-20682522.

Artadi Alimentación S.L. was founded in 1994 in Zumaia, a town on the Basque coast about 40 km from San Sebastián, and it operates under the brand OKIN, which means "baker" in Euskera. From the outset the company was a family business dedicated to frozen pre-baked bread (pan precocido congelado), and it adopted a Clean Label philosophy, making breads without additives or preservatives. The company describes itself as having been "chapateros" (bakers of small loaves) from birth, a heritage that has shaped its bread-making methods. Over its first decades OKIN built a reputation for the quality of its breads, particularly in the rustic segment, where it describes itself as a leader, and for its closeness to customers. Its product range expanded to include baguettes, rustic breads, wholemeal breads, small-format breads ready in about five minutes of baking, and reduced-size boxes for hospitality. Product families and lines developed by the company include Rustikos, Gastro, Barra Gourmet, Ready, Integramente Integral, Kasa and AKUA. The company also created hospitality concepts such as BOCATA NORDICØ and HIP. In 2019 the company marked its 25th anniversary, and it has since described itself as having 30 years of baking experience. It has pursued sustainability initiatives, receiving a bronze medal from EcoVadis in its first sustainability audit and stating that its bread is made with energy from 100% renewable sources. The company remains a family-owned private business headquartered in Zumaia.
