MENGIBAR

MENGIBAR, commercially known as MIGASA (Miguel Gallego S.A.), is a Spanish agri-food group headquartered in Seville, Andalusia. It is a 100% family-owned business that traces its roots to the early 20th century and today ranks as a leading producer and seller of olive oils and vegetable oils, with a global presence in more than 120 countries. The company employs over 1,200 professionals and works with more than 80,000 farming families who have entrusted it with their produce. MIGASA's origins lie in the 1930s, when Miguel Gallego Núñez, founder of MIGUEL GALLEGO S.A., began selling and transporting olive oil from his family business in Extremadura to Seville and Madrid. In the 1940s he moved to Seville and began buying and leasing oil mills in the highest-producing provinces, from Seville and Cadiz to Toledo. In 1946 the business moved further up the value chain by acquiring an olive oil and soap factory with a refinery and a small bottling plant in the province of Seville. During the 1950s, Miguel and his brother bought an olive pomace oil refinery and extraction plant in La Luisiana (Seville), expanding into pomace oil. Through the 1960s and 1970s his sons joined the family business, and a new refinery was acquired in Dos Hermanas (Seville). The group describes itself as remaining true to its origins, to farmers and the olive production sector, especially in Andalusia, while pursuing new growth opportunities in an environmentally responsible way. It oversees every stage of the oil production process, carefully monitoring all phases of the value chain and complying with demanding quality standards. MIGASA also operates a broad brand ecosystem, working with top brands in the agri-food sector that join its community while keeping their own identity and market relevance. Innovation and sustainability are central to the group's positioning. MIGASA states that its R&D+i efforts aim to improve its products and the quality of life of customers, farmers, suppliers and employees. On the environmental side, it became the first company in the Spanish olive oil sector to obtain the "from Waste to Resource: Zero to Landfill" environmental seal. The company presents itself under the motto "More than 90 years of Quality & Tradition."

MIGASA (Miguel Gallego S.A.) is a 100% family-owned agri-food group from Andalusia established at the beginning of the 20th century. Its documented business roots date to the 1930s, when Miguel Gallego Núñez, founder of MIGUEL GALLEGO S.A., started selling and transporting olive oil from his family business in Extremadura to Seville and Madrid. In the 1940s, Miguel Gallego Núñez moved to Seville to start buying and leasing oil mills in the highest-producing provinces, from Seville and Cadiz to Toledo. In 1946, his business made a further leap up the value chain when he bought an olive oil and soap factory, with a refinery and a small bottling plant in the province of Seville. It was there that Miguel and his wife Dolores decided to put down roots and start a family, to whom he would later pass on his knowledge and passion for the countryside and the oil culture. During the 1950s, Miguel and his brother bought an olive pomace oil refinery and extraction plant in La Luisiana (Seville), expanding their business line into pomace oil. Over the course of the 1960s and 1970s, his sons gradually joined the family business, a key moment when Miguel Gallego decided to expand it, buying a new refinery in Dos Hermanas (Seville), allowing him to train each of his sons in the different sectors of the olive business. Over more than nine decades, MIGASA has remained true to its origins, to farmers and the olive production sector, especially in Andalusia, pursuing new growth opportunities while focusing on being environmentally friendly and respecting the work of farmers. The group now operates as a leader in its industry with a team of over 1,200 professionals and a presence in over 120 countries on all five continents. It oversees every stage of the oil production process, monitoring all phases of the value chain and ensuring compliance with demanding quality standards. MIGASA also works with top brands in the agri-food sector, which join its community while maintaining their essence and the characteristics that make them unique and relevant for their markets and customers. The company is committed to R&D+i to improve its products and people's quality of life, and it became the first company in the Spanish olive oil sector to obtain the "from Waste to Resource: Zero to Landfill" environmental seal.
