The investment from the Spanish subsidiary of European agri-food investor Unigrains will support Haricaman’s plans to strengthen its industrial capabilities, expand its product portfolio and develop higher value-added categories. It also manufactures gluten-free products under the Crossed Grain certification, with the company having established a strong position in Spain’s gluten-free market. Haricaman is majority-owned by the Rodríguez Cuéllar family and led by CEO Nicolás Rodríguez Cuéllar. Álvaro Hernández, CEO of Unigrains Iberia, added: “Haricaman has built a unique position in the Spanish market, combining strong industrial know-how, an entrepreneurial culture and a proven capacity for innovation." The transaction marks the latest step in Haricaman’s development as it seeks to build scale across cereals, gluten-free products and emerging healthy snacking categories, while retaining the Rodríguez Cuéllar family as majority owners.
