Helios Jams and Preserves

Helios is a renowned Spanish food brand with a heritage dating back to 1901. Founded by Alejandrino Pérez and his grandson Gaspar in Valladolid, the brand began as a craft operation specializing in artisanal jams and preserves. Over more than a century, it has evolved from a small family business into a leading international group known for high-quality fruit-based products, tomato sauces, and vegetable preserves.

Today, the brand operates under the corporate umbrella of Grupo Helios (Dulces y Conservas Helios S.A.). The company maintains a strong manufacturing presence in its home country of Spain with multiple factories, including its primary headquarters in Valladolid. To support its international growth and European market leadership, it also operates production facilities in Germany and Morocco. In 2025, the brand further expanded its portfolio by acquiring the premium jam brand 'Glück' in Germany, solidifying its position as a major player in the European sweet spreads market.

Ownership remains deeply rooted in its Spanish origins. The company is a privately held family enterprise that has successfully transitioned through generations while expanding its reach into over 50 countries. It is recognized not only for its flagship jams but also for its historical involvement in sports sponsorship, notably within professional cycling and football.
