The Balearic Islands' food and industrial history is facing a turning point. Following the demise of Agama, the Catalan group Vall Companys has acquired Comercial Vera, a leading name in Mallorcan gourmet food. Founded in 1994 by Manuel Vera, the company has been sold to this meat distribution giant, which boasts an annual turnover exceeding €4.1 billion. Specializing in both domestic and imported meat, the company has been a key supplier for hotels, restaurants, and local businesses, offering a catalog of over 4,000 products and daily delivery services throughout the island. In 2009, Comercial Vera opened a 3,500-square-meter facility equipped with advanced technology for animal waste disposal, processing, and packaging, as well as a 450-square-meter retail space for direct sales. The Vera family will continue their involvement in the food sector by managing a butcher shop in the Olivar market and a restaurant, formerly known as Asador Patxi, in Palma.
