Founded in 1940 as an ice plant, the company built its first cold-storage room shortly afterward at the Port of Vigo, becoming an early operator in the preservation of fresh and frozen goods. It now operates three refrigerated facilities—Berbés 1, Berbés 2, and Bouzas—all in Vigo, Pontevedra. Its location at the Port of Vigo, 500 meters from the container terminal, provides direct access to freight movements.
