What carnicas toni josep sl does

Carnicas Toni Josep SL, commercially rebranded as Costa Food Meat in December 2019, is a Spanish pork meat production company founded in 1978 and operating as a subsidiary of the Costa Food Group. The company conducts slaughtering, cutting, and packaging of pork products from a 27,000 m2 industrial complex in Vic, Catalonia, at a reported annual throughput of approximately 200 million kg. Its operations are vertically integrated into the broader Costa Food Group ecosystem through sister company Piensos Costa's network of more than 850 farms, which the company describes as enabling a "controlled circular process" across the full feed-to-finished-product chain. The Costa Food Group parent reports more than 4,000 employees and €1,500 million in revenue, with Costa Food Meat alone employing more than 700 people.

Costa Food Meat sells pork products through B2B channels serving industrial processors, food service operators, and retail distributors in more than 56 countries under the Costa Food Meat brand, extending to 107 countries across the broader Costa Food Group. Distribution is supported by direct, temperature-controlled logistics infrastructure. The company holds an extensive certification stack including AENOR Animal Welfare (reportedly the first Spanish pork producer to obtain this in February 2019), BRCGS, IFS Food, IAWS, Welfair, RSIPAC, and SGPRL occupational health and safety, with COVID-19 protocol certification added in September 2020. These certifications function as market access credentials for export and premium channels.

The business model is industrial B2B meat supply, with revenue driven by volume throughput (kilograms processed and shipped) across diverse customer segments and geographies. Pricing follows commodity pork benchmarks with potential mix uplift on certified, welfare-grade, and value-added cuts. Growth has been pursued through a combination of organic capacity expansion, the July 2019 acquisition of Carnicas Sola (reportedly adding 75,000 tons of annual capacity), and international channel development signaled by participation in SIAL Paris 2024 and SIAL Shanghai 2025. The June 2024 energy efficiency project delivering 138.07 tep/year savings indicates ongoing operational cost optimization at the existing Vic footprint.
