Grupo Fuertes bases its business philosophy on constant improvement, reinvestment and sustainable development. The holding comprises a strong agro-food core and a collection of diversified investments which guarantee its solidity and future. In this sense, one of its main objectives is to create shared value for its consumers, clients, employees, suppliers, civil society and investors.

Prominent companies in its agro-food sector include Agrifusa (dedicated to agriculture), Cefusa (livestock), El Pozo Alimentación (protein-based meat products), Procavi (Spanish leader in turkey meat production), Sediasa (food fractioning and preparation centres as a service to distribution), Fripozo (deep-frozen foods), Aquadeus (bottling and commercialisation of natural mineral water), Bodegas Luzón (wineries in the Jumilla Denomination of Origin) and Palancares Alimentación (production of milk products and cheeses).

Grupo Fuertes’s diversification area encompasses the companies managed by the holding whose activity is not agro-food. They include property developer Profusa, petrochemical company Aemedsa, Vis Hoteles and the ceramics company Todagres. In the field of leisure and entertainment, Grupo Fuertes has Terra Natura Benidorm and Murcia, two latest-generation animal parks.

In addition, Grupo Fuertes participates financially in businesses which operate in various sectors ranging from leisure, telecommunications, infrastructure and residential homes to RDI and biotechnology.
