PROTEINAS DEL OLIVO

PROTEINAS DEL OLIVO is a Spanish company linked to the MIGASA agri-food group, a 100% family-owned Andalusian group that is a leading producer and seller of olive oils and vegetable oils with a global presence in over 120 countries. The company's name points to the olive protein segment, an area connected to the valorisation of olive by-products and the broader olive oil value chain in which MIGASA operates. MIGASA, the parent group, traces its roots to the beginning of the 20th century. In the 1930s, 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 high-producing provinces, and in 1946 he bought an olive oil and soap factory with a refinery and a small bottling plant in the province of Seville. In the 1950s, Miguel and his brother bought an olive pomace oil refinery and extraction plant in La Luisiana (Seville), expanding into pomace oil. During the 1960s and 1970s his sons joined the family business and a new refinery was acquired in Dos Hermanas (Seville). Today MIGASA describes itself as a 100% family-owned agri-food group from Andalusia, with more than 90 years of quality and tradition, more than 80,000 farming families entrusting it with their work, a team of over 1,200 professionals, and a presence in over 120 countries on all five continents. The group oversees every stage of the oil production process, carefully monitoring all phases of the value chain and complying with demanding quality standards. It also works with top brands in the agri-food sector, which join its brand ecosystem while maintaining their own identity. PROTEINAS DEL OLIVO sits within this ecosystem. As a Spanish company associated with MIGASA, it belongs to the group's broader activity in olive oils, vegetable oils and related olive-derived products. The group emphasises R&D+i, innovation, sustainability and environmental protection; MIGASA states it was the first company in the Spanish olive oil sector to obtain the 'from Waste to Resource: Zero to Landfill' environmental seal. Detailed public information specifically about PROTEINAS DEL OLIVO as a standalone operating company is limited, and its precise founding date, ownership structure and product portfolio are not established by the available evidence.

PROTEINAS DEL OLIVO is a Spanish company associated with the MIGASA agri-food group. Its history is best understood through the history of MIGASA, the Andalusian family-owned group to which it belongs. MIGASA was established at the beginning of the 20th century. In the 1930s, 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, his affinity for olive oil led him to move to Seville to start 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 the oil culture. In 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. Today MIGASA is a 100% family-owned agri-food group from Andalusia, a leading producer and seller of olive oils and vegetable oils, with a global presence in over 120 countries. It reports more than 90 years of quality and tradition, more than 80,000 farming families entrusting it with their work, and a team of over 1,200 professionals. 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 also works with top brands in the agri-food sector, which become part of its community while maintaining their essence and the characteristics that make them unique and relevant for their markets and customers. MIGASA is committed to R&D+i and innovation, aiming to improve its products and people's quality of life — customers, farmers, suppliers and employees. It also emphasises sustainability and environmental protection; this commitment drove it to become the first company in the Spanish olive oil sector to obtain the 'from Waste to Resource: Zero to Landfill' environmental seal. Within this group context, PROTEINAS DEL OLIVO represents activity in the olive protein segment, connected to the valorisation of olive-derived materials and the broader olive oil value chain. Public evidence specifically documenting the company's own founding date, corporate milestones and product portfolio is limited; the available sources establish it as a Spanish company and associate it with the MIGASA group.
