In 1999, Alberto Serrano, Ángel Vicente, Miguel Muñoz and Paul Soto created Grupo Alba Int. SLL (an Employee-Owned Limited Liability Company) in Plasencia, Cáceres.
As like-minded professionals who had worked together successfully since the 1980’s, we decided to pool the expertise we had developed in farming and food technologies, quality control, marketing, financial management, territorial development and networking. Since then, our multidisciplinary team has successfully grown both the agro-food and the territorial development sides of the business.
We are deeply involved in the ongoing transformation of the food chain by providing technical support, packing and marketing high quality fruit for over 1200 small local farmers. This has allowed us to become a renowned supplier of high-quality cherries in Europe.
This and our direct support to many local development projects informs our wider European networking and technical assistance for all forms territorial development and for the food chain. Our strength lies in our ability to combine our experience on the ground, both in the food chain and in territorial development with broader policy development and networking at an international level.
