More than 50 years ago, a passion for fresh food turned into a company that is now THE brand for premium Mediterranean products from the chiller cabinet throughout Europe.
With his entrepreneurial flair, his enthusiasm for dairy products and his courage to make the right decisions, Dr. Eduardo Garcia has put his heart and soul into ensuring the highest quality standards for our products from the very beginning. His two children also share this spirit. Manuel Garcia, CEO of garmo AG since 2019, and Carmen Garcia-Molinaro, who is responsible for Human Resources.
