This significant investment will focus on implementing state-of-the-art freezing tunnels and comprehensive digitalization of data collection at the plant. These areas are crucial for the group's future expansion and for ensuring the highest standards of quality and efficiency in its operations. These actions complement recent technological improvements, such as the robotization of filling and packaging handling, and artificial vision systems for quality control.

The announcement was made during a visit by a representative of the Andalusian Government to the company's plant in La Línea de la Concepción. During the tour, the representative highlighted Ubago Group's strategic role in the Andalusian food industry, describing it as a “historic and extraordinary” company that generates progress, employment, and well-being in the region. They also emphasized the group's solidity, which boasts an annual turnover of 270 million euros and processes over 66,000 tons of fish, leading the national market in products such as smoked salmon and canned goods.

Ubago Group operates three production plants in Andalusia, located in Málaga, La Línea de la Concepción, and Barbate, employing over 1,000 workers. The company's management stressed that its growth is based on a strong commitment to values, equality, and sustainability. The company has an Equality Plan, a balanced workforce, and no gender pay gap, in addition to a strong commitment to R&D&i, aimed at developing new "ready-to-eat" food solutions.

Regarding sustainability, the company has made progress in circular economy initiatives, including energy monitoring, the installation of charging points for electric vehicles, and Zero Waste certification, which ensures that 90% of its waste is recycled or reused. The positive impact of its Dual Vocational Training program, which has trained 300 students, and the Acredita program, developed in collaboration with the Junta de Andalucía, were also highlighted.
