What F.J. Sánchez S.A.U. does

F.J. Sánchez S.A.U. (operating commercially as Aceites La Pedriza) is a family-owned Spanish food manufacturer specialising in the production, packaging, and distribution of Mediterranean products — principally olive oils, table olives, capers, caperberries, and pickles — under its own 'La Pedriza' brand, proprietary specialty sub-brands (FRITURAMAX frying oil, Pedrisol sunflower oil), and private label/ co-packaging arrangements for major retailers. The company's operational base sits at Sorbas, Almería, supported by 11 production facilities strategically distributed across Andalucía and Extremadura, including two dedicated caperberry processing lines with 1.5 tons-per-hour throughput and packaging capacity of 400 jars per minute. Production technology centres on physical extraction and packing infrastructure for olive oil and seed oils, with differentiated formulation know-how in frying-oil chemistry (FRITURAMAX) and food-safety certification since 2003.

The business operates a three-stream revenue model: (1) branded packaged retail products under 'La Pedriza' sold in glass jars, PET bottles, or tins; (2) private label and co-packaging services to major retail distribution chains worldwide, with palletised, store-ready packaging; and (3) bulk industrial supply of oils in drums (200kg, 220L), IBC totes (1000L), flexitanks, and road/ship tankers for downstream industrial users. Pricing is B2B and quote-based, with no public pricing disclosed.

Go-to-market combines direct export via an in-house Export Department, an international distributor network across 70+ countries in five continents, private-label partnerships with global retail chains, and direct-to-consumer online sales. The company actively participates in major international trade shows (FOODEX Japan, PLMA Amsterdam, ANUGA Cologne, GULFOOD Dubai, PRODEXPO Moscow, Fancy Food Show New York, FHC China) for lead generation, while digital channels (Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, YouTube) and website recipe content serve awareness and education. Food-service operators (restaurants, hotels, catering) are addressed through the FRITURAMAX brand in 5L and 10L formats.
