One of the most extraordinary regions globally regarding plant production is undoubtedly the Mediterranean area, especially the Iberian Peninsula.
This fortunate situation has a reason: its climate, characterized by dry and warm summers, with average temperatures above 22 °C, and wet and rainy winters, with mild temperatures.
These climate conditions generate the development of forest-like species, among which the carob tree or ‘garrofer’ stands out with its fruit: carob or ‘garrofa’. A wild grown tree that can exceed ten meters in height and does not require much water to survive.
Its fruit, carob, is a highly valued product today, considering that it was deemed to be little more than cattle feed for a long time.
Our company Pedro Pérez Martínez SL was established in 1980 in Bugarra (Valencia), although its origins date back to over 50 years ago when its founder, Mr Pedro Pérez Martínez, started out in the carob industry. Since its inception, our entrepreneurial outlook has led to the addition of new production lines featuring the most advanced carob processing technology, culminating in the expansion of a new head office in Cheste (Valencia).
In both facilities we have the most specialized infrastructure and equipment – as well as the most experienced team for manufacturing new carob products. Our strategy has led us to be leaders in innovation worldwide and to offer an exclusive service to clients with whom we closely work every day.
