Reflecting on the Impact of the Automated Plant Opening and Future Investments in Storage Technology
In March 2023, the unveiling of Patatas Meléndez S.L.’s automated plant in Medina del Campo marked a pivotal moment in the agrofood industry of our region. One year on from this milestone, the company finds itself amidst a concerted investment effort to integrate storage chambers into its facilities, aiming to extend the availability of national potatoes throughout the winter months. However, as we progress in this endeavor, it is imperative to acknowledge the collective effort of our team and the strategic leadership of our CEO, Francisco Javier Meléndez Juárez.
Despite our ongoing investment in technology, we remain firmly committed to sustainability and supporting local farmers. Our “Meléndez x Origen” project epitomizes the company’s dedication to authentic quality and Social Responsibility at every step of our supply chain.
