HISTORY

It all started in the 80s on a small family farm, intending to improve the meat quality of a small livestock Cooperative in Cardona (Barcelona) to reduce health risks. One member of this cooperative was Maria Àngels Rial, now a successful businesswoman. She is the president of a world reference company in the swine artificial insemination sector.
