Jealsa canned seafood

Founded in 1958 by Jesús Alonso Fernández in Boiro, Spain, Jealsa has grown into a global leader in the canned tuna and seafood industry. Originally a family-run enterprise focusing on high-quality preserved fish, the company pioneered several innovations in the Spanish canning sector, including advanced tuna loining and processing techniques.

Today, Jealsa remains a family-owned entity under the leadership of the Alonso family through the holding company Jealsa Rianxeira S.A. The company is renowned for its vertical integration, managing everything from its own fishing fleet to secondary processing and packaging. It operates several major production facilities globally, notably in Galicia (Spain) and through subsidiaries like Rianxeira and Robinson Crusoe in Latin America. Jealsa is also a key partner and supplier for various international private labels, maintaining a strong commitment to sustainable fishing practices and the circular economy through its specialized divisions.
