In September 1972, the Barrera family and the Guti\u00e9rrez family decided to join forces and founded Constantino Guti\u00e9rrez S.A. with a clear purpose: to provide farmers with quality products that meet the needs of their crops and to become a benchmark in the manufacturing and distribution of fertilisers in the Mediterranean.<\/p>\r\n <\/div>\r\n

Due to the restructuring of the fertiliwer industry in Spain, we changed the business model and began to import raw materials from abroad.<\/p>\r\n

We introduced calcium nitrates in the market and after reaching a trade agreement with the multinational Hydro (now Yara) we became their official distributor in the provinces of Alicante, Murcia, Albacete and Ciudad Real.<\/p>\r\n

By mutual agreement, we ended the relationship with the multinational Hydro and as a reinvention strategy we launched Planets, the first range of specialized products in the Spanish market. This initiative opened a new horizon for the company. <\/p>\r\n

We acquired a 66% stake in Fertisac, the first superphosphate and complex NPK factory in Spain.<\/p>\r\n

After fifty years, we started a profound process of digitalization and long-term strategic replanning. This new path involves a new way of doing things, of committing to a sustainable future, without forgetting - of course - where we come from and who we are.<\/p>\r\n
