Corporacion Alimentaria Penasanta

CAPSA Food is a leading national dairy company specializing in milk and dairy products, with 1,300 employees that work every day for the wellbeing of their families. 

Central Lechera Asturiana, its main brand, is the one that has connected the most with Spanish consumers over the decades. It is a brand that evokes honesty, naturalness, origin and closeness. For over 50 years this company has been devoted to doing what it does best: caring for, nurturing and ensuring the best flavour and quality milk to feed families with natural and healthy products. The milk’s origin speaks to us about its quality, and that begins in the meadows. Asturias has one of the greenest and most pristine landscapes, with its pastures enjoying a much more varied vegetation as a result of the converging weather patterns, which in turn causes them to be more nutritious and rich in vitamins and minerals. Origin, naturalness, quality and taste are the 4 core brand values that differentiate our products from the rest. CAPSA Food has 7 factories spread across 6 Spanish provinces, with capacity to process over 900 million litres of milk per year.

Central Lechera Asturiana SAT, CAPSA Food´s majority shareholder, is a cooperative of farmers that is also the company´s main supplier. The cooperative provides us with a range of services (technical advice, veterinary care, fodder for their herd, etc.) that guarantee the highest quality milk sourced at point of origin in order to ensure the best products (milk, cream, butter and yogurt) while maintaining all of the milk´s nutritional properties and outstanding flavour. Ideal conditions for product preservation and traceability are guaranteed from the point of origin to point of sale by subjecting them to numerous controls throughout the process. We have the most innovative packaging in the Spanish market, endorsed by such leading suppliers as Tetra Pak and Combi bloc. 

In terms of social responsibility, CAPSA Food supports the primary sector and the rural world; it promotes health through nutrition and a healthy lifestyle; it protects and it respects the natural environment and continues to be a top employer company ever since its foundation.
