What Acudam does
Acudam (legal name Associació Comarcal Urgell d'Ajuda al Minusvàlid) is a non-profit social enterprise founded in 1975 and headquartered in Mollerussa, Lleida, Spain, declared of public utility by the Generalitat de Catalunya. It manufactures and distributes products across four verticals: home decoration (curtains, blinds, shutters, mosquito nets), agricultural supplies (polypropylene tree protectors, forest and seed trays, Full-Pot truffle containers, Arbequina olive seedlings including the licensed I-18 clone), agro-food packaging (R-PET containers and alveoli for fruits, vegetables, and quail eggs), and small hardware and electrical materials. Operations are anchored on an industrial site exceeding 11,000 m² in Vila-sana plus 7,000+ m² of nursery facilities in Castellnou de Seana, employing between 120 and 140 workers including people with intellectual disabilities as part of its social mission.
The company's core technology is plastic thermoforming and R-PET processing, with proprietary registered designs for the Full-Pot truffle container and a licensed inbound exploitation right for the Arbequina I-18 olive clone sourced from Les Garrigues plantations. It also offers custom third-party thermoforming and contract manufacturing services (bottling, counting, blister packaging). As a non-profit, Acudam reinvests commercial revenues into its social mission rather than distributing profit, and is governed as an association under Catalan law.
Revenue is generated primarily through B2B quote-based sales via a commercial team, with direct-to-consumer e-commerce through agriprotector.com for olive trees. The go-to-market combines an in-house sales force handling phone and email inquiries, trade fair participation (notably FIMA Zaragoza), multilingual digital catalogs, and YouTube installation tutorials. Customer segments span fruit and vegetable packers, nurseries, olive growers, hardware stores, home improvement retailers, and end consumers, with no disclosed enterprise anchor accounts.
