The company operates two integrated facilities — REIXACH PRODUCTION in Hostalric (slaughtering and butchering) and REIXACH PACKAGING in Sant Feliu de Buixalleu (packaging) — supported by a proprietary cutting system that delivers pinker, higher-quality meat with lower moisture content. Total footprint is 25,000 m2 with daily processing capacity of 280 tonnes and annual production volume of 60,000+ tonnes.

The company generates revenue primarily through B2B sales of fresh, packaged, and frozen pork products to international distributors, retailers, and food service operators across 20+ countries, with 55% of production exported. It holds BRC, IFS, and Welfair animal welfare certifications, which are gating requirements for major European retail and food service buyers.

Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed.

Reixach has invested in sustainability infrastructure including CO2 recovery (with GasN2, covering 70% of demand), water recovery via DARTEX (600 m3/day), solar panels (1,800 m2), and energy-efficient refrigeration (292.57 MWh/year reduction), partially funded by Spanish and EU grants (IDAE 2021, MITECO 2022, Generalitat de Catalunya 2023). The company remains privately held with no external institutional investors, directors, or public listing, and has been recognized for regional community engagement through sports and cultural sponsorships.
