The acquisition of the Lacetània center (Clariana, Catalonia, Spain) is going to serve the Spanish firm to open a new line of international trade.

Semen Cardona, Spain’s leading production multigenetic porcine semen doses for artificial insemination, has purchased the facilities that the Copaga cooperative had in Clariana of Cardener (central of Catalonia), which until nowadays were leased to multinational Ingafood (from the©Netherlands), a leader industry of the national pig sector. The transaction includes the absorption of the Copaga client portfolio and an important part from Ingafood ones.
