Company History

Trafema’s roots go back to 1950, when Marcial Fernández García began hauling fresh fish from the port of Vigo. In 1970, the company added one of Galicia’s first refrigerated trucks and began working with Pescanova in the frozen-food sector. Trafema S.L. was formally established in 1987 by Antonio Fernández Martínez. It began international transportation to Europe in 1998 and moved its offices and cold-chain logistics operations to A Veigadaña Business Park in Mos in 2016. In 2019, it expanded refrigerated storage capacity from 2,000 to 5,000 pallets.
