Hutesa Agroalimentaria

A family business born with export vocation.

In the year 1988 Maria Paz Hurtado started to buy and sell olives in one of her rooms in her little apartment in Malaga, equipped just with a teletext machine, followed by a fax, a typewriter, a big dose of illusion and with a husband, who believed her projects to be more than just possible. Working under these conditions she succeeded to bill until 1992 more than 500 million of the old "Pesetas" (today around 3 million Euros), without any producing infrastructure of their own, until the couple decided in 1992 to risk everything they had achieved until that moment (which certainly was not much) and to buy an old packaging factory, which was closed since 1987 and half destroyed to ruins. With an enormous effort, a total of 4 mortgages on the building and their own home, with interests of more than 18% and a lot of illusion they continued their project - but this time with their own production and packaging line.

Our maximum aim is to guarantee the control of the product from its origins until it finally ends on the table of the final consumer.
