Our History

By your side since the first day,

growing naturally!

The will of a group of 18 pig farmers, who believed that they could do more and better for the sector, especially in the animal feed production for animals, leaded to the creation of Raporal, S.A. in 1971.

The first livestock farm for pig production was acquired about 10 years later, and after many others came. Then, the company acquired STEC, a slaughter and meat-processing unit, which was subject to great investments in its modernization in order to fulfill our Clients’ demands.

In 2009, the business expanded and the relationship with the end consumers became closer with the opening of the first “Meat Store”.

Today, here we are, more certain than ever that our path has been the best: at the right time and well succeeded.

We are proud of our history.
