Kiremko and Urtasun join forces for new Virto plant

One of the most prestigious contracts awarded to Kiremko last year was the supply of a turnkey roots vegetable line for the brand new processing and packaging plant for Ultracongelados Virto S.A. in Funes, Navarra, Spain.

Virto is a Spanish family-owned group which was founded in 1984 with its first plant based in Navarra in the middle of the fertile fields of the Ebro river basin, which is now one of the main centres of industrial vegetable processing in Europe.

Through mergers and rapid autonomous growth, the company currently owns 8 specialized plants distributed over the whole of Spain and Portugal and is now considered to be one of the largest European processors of frozen vegetables. This year, it also inaugurated its first plant outside Europe, building a state-of-the-art packaging plant and frozen storage facility in Texas, USA.
