The diversification of Illacamp

Located in Sa Pobla, in the middle of a major growing area, Sat Illacamp has been in operation for ten years now with very diversified business.

Joan Serra

The company concerns itself with supplying the market of the island of Mallorca itself and export, sales to catering and restaurant channels and supplying retailers.

In summer, business increases significantly due to the growth the Horeca channel experiences from tourism. Illacamp has a facility to prepare pre-prepared convenience food and here it prepares not only potato but also carrot, onion and turnip.

As oppose to other companies in the area, export only represents a small part of their business activities. Britain is their unique market receiving around 1,500 tonnes.
