Shukran

What Shukran does

Shukran (legal entity: SOIFA ALIMENTACION SL) is a Spanish food manufacturer founded in 2012 in Getafe, Madrid, specializing in clean-label, plant-based spreads and dips. The company's core product range spans seven hummus variants (Classic, Boletus, Tomato & Basil, Truffle, Spicy, Beetroot, and Mutabal roasted eggplant spread) plus a cocoa and hazelnut spread and a cocoa cream spread formulated with chestnut and dates, no added sugars, and 60% less saturated fat than market alternatives. All products are positioned around no preservatives, no artificial colors, high protein (24g per 220g tub in Classic Hummus), and Realfooding certification co-developed with nutritionist Carlos Ríos and the 4.5M+ follower Realfooding community. The company also operates three B2B lines: NotEgg (a 100% plant-based egg powder for industrial food production launched in 2023), Field Rations for military and mining operators with up to 48-month shelf life and halal ingredients, and private-label (MDD) contract manufacturing for national and international retail chains under IFS food-safety certification.

Shukran generates revenue through three distinct streams. The largest is consumer packaged goods (CPG) sold through Spanish retail banners including Carrefour (320+ stores with exclusive pocket-format cocoa cream), Alcampo, Eroski, El Corte Inglés (135+ stores via Ahorramas), La Sirena, Makro, and online platforms including Amazon, Alcampo online, Planeta Huerto, Naturitas, and Vegaffinity. The second stream is B2B private-label manufacturing using Design Thinking and Double Diamond R&D methodologies, with pricing negotiated per project. The third is institutional field rations sold to military and mining operators, packaged in 2kg and 25kg industrial formats. GTM is sales-led across both retail and B2B with field sales teams, augmented by heavy marketing investment through the Realfooding/Carlos Ríos community, viral TikTok content, and sports sponsorships (Kings League, Balloon World Cup Spain).

The company reported €6M in revenue in 2024, operates with 11–50 employees at its Getafe manufacturing facility, and is led by CEO Patricia Gallego. It is privately held with no disclosed institutional funding, and as of 2024 has initiated a formal international expansion process anchored on B2B private-label and field-rations contracts. The product portfolio is supported by a Grupo Posada chestnut supply partnership, IFS food-safety certification, and a Realfooding co-branding arrangement that functions as a third-party clean-label endorsement to Spanish consumers.
