The origins of El Campo date back to 1975 when Mr Teodoro Muñoz started carrot production. In 1992 we took a risk and diversified our activity into the fifth range products of sweetcorn, beetroot and potato.
Since then, our company has undergone significant growth in human resources and facilities, without losing the identity or aims for excellence that have characterised us over the years. We are currently leaders in Europe with growing demand in this market.
We consider the balancing of our business development and collaboration with society to be essential, and reflect this in our social commitment.
