OUR COMPANY

SYMBOL OF GENERATIONAL EFFORT

 

Gracomsa is a Single-Entity Limited Company which forms part of the GA Alimentaria Group, a section of the Sesac Group dedicated to food for human consumption and belonging to the Valencian Cases Monterde family, which has dedicated itself to the production and industrial economies for three generations, directly creating more than 200 jobs.

 

Gracomsa is developed from our accumulated knowledge and experience of the market and the treatment of oils and vegetable fats for foods. One of our main raw materials is palm oil and since 2014 we have been members of the RSPO (The Round Table on Sustainable Palm Oil), an independent organisation in charge of certifying that our palm oil comes from plantations that respect the environment, the rights of those who work there and that we only buy from suppliers who are also members. See our progress at www.rspo.org.

 

 

All of our factories and facilities are located in towns near La Albufera in Valencia, a unique wetland in Europe. Enjoying this privilege also led us to committing ourselves to its sustainability.  This is why we collaborate with the Assut Foundation, an organisation dedicated to defending the landscape, and the natural and cultural heritage of La Albufera.All of our factories and facilities are located in towns near La Albufera in Valencia, a unique wetland in Europe.
