What MIGASA does

MIGASA (legal entity MIGUEL GALLEGO, S.A.) is a 100% family-owned Andalusian agri-food group and one of Spain's largest producers of olive oils and vegetable oils. The company's portfolio spans extra virgin olive oil, virgin olive oil, refined olive oil and olive pomace oil, alongside seed oils (sunflower, high oleic sunflower, rapeseed, grape seed and avocado), delivered both packaged and in bulk. Production is vertically integrated: the group runs 8 own olive mills (making it the largest private olive miller globally), 3 refineries (olive, seed, and olive pomace), seed extraction facilities, fatty-acid distillation, and 3 bottling plants across Dos Hermanas (Spain, PET for domestic), Alcolea (Spain, glass/cans/PET for export) and Setúbal (Portugal, glass/PET for export). The La Luisiana refinery alone processes over 50% of the world's olive pomace oil, and the sourcing network covers roughly 80,000 farming families.

The business model combines B2B bulk oil sales to bottlers in Spain, Portugal and Italy with packaged branded and private-label distribution through major retail chains in 120+ countries. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is set through distribution and direct B2B contracts; the company sells through both an own-brand ecosystem (La Masía, Musa, Sandúa, Rafael Salgado, Aceites 1881, Realfooding, etc.) and distributor/private-label brands. Customer segments span enterprise retail/distribution, food-industry bottlers, and through the Realfooding line, health-conscious consumers of prepared foods. The 50/50 joint venture Grupo Ybarra Alimentación (formed 2009) extends the business into sauces, mayonnaises, olives, vinegars and vegetable preserves.

Technology and sustainability investments form a secondary but visible layer of the operating model: PLC and Energy Management Systems at Dos Hermanas, Industry 4.0 automation of extractors and cooling towers with variable speed drives and control flowmeters, a biomass boiler at La Roda de Andalucía replacing fossil-fuel combustion (co-financed under IDAE FEDER aid), and circular-economy waste handling that earned MIGASA Spain's first 'Zero to Landfill' certification for a food company at Alcolea in 2021. The Olivar Tradicional program, developed with UPA and LIDL under SMETA ethical-trade audit, is a provenance and fair-price certification program rather than a technology investment.
