Suministros Medina is a company founded in 1973 that specialises in the production and marketing of meat products.

History

Timeline

We market our products to large retailers, food-service companies, restaurants, supermarkets and manufacturers.

The company is headquartered in Leganés (Madrid), where our facilities include cutting rooms, clean rooms and industrial cold stores.

In 2009 Cárnicas Medina incorporated the Montellos abattoir, a leader in beef slaughtering and cutting in Galicia, to cover the production process from selection at source to product delivery. Located in Betanzos next to the N-VI road, this unique location allows us to offer the finest high-quality Galician beef, valued and recognised by restaurateurs, consumers and distributors internationally.

In 2016 the group, through Elaborados Cárnicos Medina, acquired the beef division of Martínez Loriente by purchasing the Buñol plant (Valencia).
