MAFRIGES

Mafriges, S.A. is a Spanish meat company based in Sant Vicenç de Torelló, in the province of Barcelona, Catalonia. Founded in 1984, it operates an integrated pork processing complex that includes its own slaughterhouse, product-specialised cutting rooms, a packing plant and a large cold store. The company describes itself as a slaughter, cutting plant and coldstore of pork products, located in a traditional pig-rearing region about one hour from the French border and one hour from a major freight port. Since its beginnings, Mafriges has delivered and distributed fresh meat and prepared meat products on a daily basis to retail shops, wholesalers and processing plants. Its slaughter capacity is stated at more than 17,000 heads weekly, and its plant staff numbers around 250 people. The company has extended its sales beyond Spain to the European market and to Asian countries, describing itself as being in a state of constant growth. Quality control and traceability are central to the company's positioning. Mafriges says it controls all phases of the production process to guarantee the best quality, selecting raw material from nearby farms and checking the origin of each animal, the state of the farms and the feed the pigs have eaten. It uses the CALITAX traceability system, which allows the carcass to be traced through the slaughterhouse, cutting, boning, packaging and dispatch, and back again. Its quality management is endorsed by HACCP, FSSC 22000, IFS, BRC and Animal Welfare Quality certifications, under the oversight of the Official Veterinary Service operating under Spanish law and European Union regulation. The company's processing flexibility allows it to produce according to intended use and customer requirements under an ISO-based quality management system. Mafriges can supply any type of cut, from primary cuts to boneless and trimmed parts, and its newer facilities include a packing zone able to pack products IWP or vacuum, fast freezer tunnels and the cold store. A central database supports optimisation and planning of production and helps assure full product traceability. Mafriges remains a privately held Spanish company. Its prestige, as the company itself frames it, rests on product quality together with good customer service, supported by modern installations, animal welfare commitments and environmental responsibility.
