It is one of the giants of Spain’s dairy industry: the Leche Celta dairy. This year the company, which is now part of the Lactogal Group, celebrates 25 years in the business. Right from the start, Leche Celta and SIG Combibloc have had a close partnership. Leche Celta packages around 75 per cent of its annual milk production in aseptic carton packs from SIG Combibloc, on a total of 12 filling machines. For the anniversary, the two companies are jointly taking stock. Celta and SIG Combibloc – that belongs together.
Victor Cordoba, Head of Cluster Europe South at SIG Combibloc: “Leche Celta is an extremely committed and forward-looking partner, characterised in equal measure by high quality standards and a taste for innovation. As a technologically advanced company, Leche Celta has state-of-the-art filling machines in operation, so it covers the full spectrum of possible package sizes from small format to family size, right up to the 2-litre large-format carton pack. Leche Celta was the first dairy in Spain to bring out the large-format 1,500 and 2,000 ml carton sizes, and even today the company is a pioneer in the 2-litre sector”.
Leche Celta helps you grow
The anniversary slogan ‘Leche Celta helps you grow’ could not have been a more apt choice. Because it refers not just to the many premium dairy products whose beneficial ingredients contribute every day to the good health of consumers – especially the healthy growth of children. As a leading private label manufacturer in Spain, Leche Celta has also succeeded in growing along with its customers. “And we can carry this shared growth across to the partnership between Leche Celta and SIG Combibloc as well”, says Victor Cordoba with obvious satisfaction.
The Lactogal Group, of which Leche Celta is now a part, processes around 1,500 million litres of milk annually, making it the leader on the Iberian Peninsula.
