Grupo Trabanco

What Grupo Trabanco does

Grupo Trabanco is a fourth-generation, family-owned Asturian cider producer headquartered in Lavandera, Gijón (Asturias, Spain), founded by Emilio Trabanco in 1925. The company operates two production sites — the original Lavandera cider mill and a 11,000+ square meter Sariego facility opened in 2010 — supported by over 100 hectares of proprietary apple orchards that are described as among the largest for natural cider producers in Asturias. Core production centers on traditional Asturian natural cider fermented in chestnut wooden barrels with wild yeasts, supplemented by the family-developed 'trasiegos' barrel-blending technique and second-generation expertise; the portfolio spans traditional natural ciders (Sidra Trabanco Tradicional, Selección, Sobre La Madre), the DOP-certified Poma Áurea brut nature, sparkling ciders (Lagar de Camín, Avalon), non-alcoholic variants, the Alma de Trabanco vermouth, and a cider-vinegar line (Solarina, Camín Organic). Selected products carry the Protected Denomination of Origin 'Sidra de Asturias', and the Camín Organic line carries organic certification.

The business operates a hybrid revenue model combining cider and ancillary product sales, on-site restaurant operations at Casa Trabanco, paid cider tourism (Orígenes tours at €12/adult; combined Túnel de la Sidra + Orígenes at €16/adult), and direct e-commerce through tiendasidratrabanco.com. Go-to-market spans three primary motions: a Spanish distributor network covering all provinces plus large supermarket and hypermarket chains; country-specific international distributors serving Europe, Americas, and Oceania; and direct-to-consumer sales through the on-site restaurant, tourism experiences, and the online shop. The brand is reinforced through experiential marketing (cider festivals, the 'La Gran Manzana' documentary premiered in 2026, the Madres de la Sidra gala) and consistent recognition at international competitions, with over 50 awards in the last decade including Top 3 in the world at GLINTCAP 2024.

Operationally the company is privately held (Sidra Trabanco, S.A., CIF A33688953, registered in Asturias) with no disclosed parent, institutional investment, or public market listing, and no M&A activity is recorded. Headcount is disclosed at 13, which appears to reflect core corporate and family-operations staff rather than full production labor (the production footprint and tourism venues imply significant seasonal employment). Customer base is diversified across traditional sidrerías, restaurants, retail consumers, and cider tourists, with no single named anchor customer of disproportionate scale.
