What Vicky Foods Products S.L.U does

Vicky Foods Products S.L.U. is a privately held, family-owned Spanish industrial bakery and food group founded in 1952 in Villalonga, Valencia, and headquartered in Gandía. The company manufactures and sells more than 400 products under a multi-brand portfolio — flagship Dulcesol (bakery, pastries, breads since 1976), the recently acquired Panrico (sliced bread, since 1962), Be Plus (clean-label and organic since 2017), Hermanos Juan (refrigerated products for HORECA), Fit'z (ready meals), and Il Forno di Giovanni (Italian-style pizza) — serving mass-market grocery, food-service, and health-conscious consumers across Spain, Portugal, France, Algeria, Morocco, and Andorra, with exports to 50+ countries.

The underlying production base comprises five factories (two in Spain, one each in France, Portugal, and Algeria) running 49 manufacturing lines that produced 254,000 tonnes in 2025, an in-house egg farm (472,000+ hens covering 98% of liquid-egg needs), and a wholly owned packaging subsidiary (Ducplast) producing 100% of packaging film and bags. Distribution is executed through a captive network of 37 delegations, 726 distribution personnel, and 438 delivery routes, supplemented by local distributors in export markets. R&D is centralized at CINS (Centre for Innovation, Nutrition and Health, established 2018) with public co-funding from CDTI, IVACE, and FEDER.

Vicky Foods generates revenue through one-off wholesale sales of branded and private-label industrial bakery products to retailers and food-service operators — pricing details are not publicly disclosed. FY2025 sales totaled €761M (up from €707M in FY2024) with 4,200+ employees. The group operates eight wholly owned subsidiaries (Dulcesa, Juan y Juan Industrial, Dulcesol Maghreb, Granjas Dulcesol, Ducplast, Mecanodul, and others) and acquired the Panrico brand from Adam Foods in March 2026 for an undisclosed consideration. The company is self-financing with 100% Valencian capital, led by second-generation CEO Rafael Juan.
