INDUSTRIAL ZARRACINA SA

What INDUSTRIAL ZARRACINA SA does

Industrial Zarracina SA is a privately held Spanish beverage producer founded in 1857 and headquartered in Gijón, Asturias. It operates two reporting divisions: ZarracinaCopacker, which provides contract canning and bottling services to third-party beverage brands, and ZarracinaDistribución, which handles distribution of its own portfolio alongside third-party beverage lines through Spanish retail and HoReCa channels. Manufacturing takes place at a facility in Meres/Siero, while corporate functions are consolidated at the Gijón headquarters.

The company owns and markets the heritage cider brand El Gaitero, marketed as the oldest natural gasified cider in Spain, alongside additional brands including Zarracina, Real Agrado, and Viñedos Alfaro across cider and broader beverage categories. Production is certified under the D.O.P SIDRA DE ASTURIAS denomination of origin, and the company holds BRC and ISO 9001:2015 quality certifications relevant to food-safety qualified contract manufacturing.

Revenue mechanics are split across B2B contract manufacturing fees, distribution margins on third-party brands, and own-brand product sales. The customer base is not publicly disclosed beyond a reference to "various national and international beverage brands." The company is small (approximately 10 employees), family-influenced in character, and shows no recent publicly observable digital, funding, or expansion activity beyond a 2024 headquarters relocation within the Gijón metropolitan area.
