MIGASA ACEITES S.L.U.

MIGASA ACEITES S.L.U. is a Spanish agri-food company headquartered in Seville, Andalusia, and the corporate core of the MIGASA group. It is a 100% family-owned business that traces its origins to the early 20th century and today ranks among the leading producers and sellers of olive oils and vegetable oils, with a commercial presence in more than 120 countries across all five continents. The group employs over 1,200 professionals and works with a network of more than 80,000 farming families who supply its raw material. The company's roots go back to the 1930s, when Miguel Gallego Núñez 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, and in 1946 he acquired an olive oil and soap factory with a refinery and a small bottling plant in the province of Seville. During the 1950s the family expanded into olive pomace oil with a refinery and extraction plant in La Luisiana (Seville), and in the 1960s and 1970s the founder's sons joined the business and a new refinery was acquired in Dos Hermanas (Seville). This gradual integration along the value chain turned the family firm into an industrial group. MIGASA describes itself as overseeing every stage of the oil production process, carefully monitoring all phases of the value chain and complying with demanding quality standards. Its portfolio covers olive oil and vegetable oils, and the group operates a broad brand ecosystem, working with leading agri-food brands that join its community while retaining their own identity and market positioning. The company also emphasizes R&D+i, aiming to improve products and the quality of life of customers, farmers, suppliers and employees. On sustainability, MIGASA states that it became the first company in the Spanish olive oil sector to obtain the "from Waste to Resource: Zero to Landfill" environmental seal. Its stated commitment is to remain true to its origins, to farmers and the olive production sector, especially in Andalusia, while pursuing new growth opportunities in an environmentally responsible way. The company is privately held and remains under the ownership of the Gallego family.

MIGASA's history begins in 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. His affinity for olive oil led him, in the 1940s, to move to Seville and begin buying and leasing oil mills in the highest-producing provinces, from Seville and Cadiz to Toledo. In 1946 the 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 oil culture. In the 1950s, Miguel and his brother bought an olive pomace oil refinery and extraction plant in La Luisiana (Seville), expanding the 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 the following decades the family firm grew into an agri-food group. MIGASA now describes itself as a 100% family-owned agri-food group from Andalusia, established at the beginning of the 20th century, with a team of over 1,200 professionals and a presence in over 120 countries on all five continents. More than 80,000 farming families have entrusted the company with their work. The group oversees every stage of the oil production process, carefully monitoring all phases of the value chain and ensuring compliance with demanding quality standards. It operates a broad brand ecosystem, working with leading agri-food brands that join its community while maintaining their essence and the characteristics that make them unique and relevant for their markets and customers. MIGASA also emphasizes R&D+i as a means of improving its products and the quality of life of customers, farmers, suppliers and employees. On the environmental side, the company states that it became the first company in the Spanish olive oil sector to obtain the "from Waste to Resource: Zero to Landfill" environmental seal.
