Gador, next to the valley of the river Andarax, is known because of the good quality of its oranges and because of being the largest producing area of vegetables in Europe. In this privilege area is where is located our plant to elaborate the ecological squeezed juice refrigerated, gazpacho from Andalucia- South of Spain (cold soup made from tomatoes, peppers…) cream and clear soup, all of them 100% natural products under the brand DON SIMON.
The plant has its own R&D area, allowing us to achieve the highest product quality by preserving the natural properties of raw materials. It features state-of-the-art technology, spread over 15,000 m² within an 80,000 m² site.
J. Garcia Carrion sources production from 1,200 hectares owned by over 850 farmers, with long-term agreements in place. The company has encouraged regional farmers to convert to organic farming, resulting in our Don Simon organic squeezed juice, certified by the Andaluz Committee of Ecological Agriculture (CAAE).
The plant operates 7 aseptic packaging lines and processes over 120,000 tons of fruits and vegetables annually.
At our Almeria plant, we’ve implemented sustainable practices such as efficient water management, the use of cleaner fuels like natural gas, and waste reduction. Water optimization is a key achievement, with treated and reused wastewater minimizing environmental impact.
The plant also adheres to ISO 9001 quality management standards and holds BRC and IFS certifications, consistently achieving top audit ratings.
