Jealsa Corporate Brand

Jealsa is a global leader in the marine food industry, specifically renowned for its high-quality canned fish and seafood products. Founded in 1958 in Boiro, Spain, by Jesús Alonso Fernández, the company has grown from a local cannery into a massive multinational corporation. It is perhaps best known to consumers through its major brands like Rianxeira and its strategic partnership as the primary supplier for the Spanish supermarket giant Mercadona under the Hacendado brand.

The company operates with a strong focus on sustainability and vertical integration, managing everything from its own fishing fleets to modern processing plants. While its heart remains in Galicia, Spain, Jealsa has expanded its manufacturing footprint to include facilities in Portugal, Guatemala, Chile, and Brazil to serve international markets effectively. The brand continues to be owned and managed by the Alonso family, maintaining its status as a private Spanish powerhouse in the global food sector.
