manolet Almonds,
a family story
1946
it all starts here
Our story begins in Elche, in the Valverde partidor, where Manuel Alonso López, the first generation, took the first steps in the almond industry by establishing business relationships with farmers who saw in his personal and approachable business vision a different way of doing business.
The Alonso family was starting to sow the seeds of a reputation that would follow them for generations.
1956
national expansion
With the premise of a close and direct approach, the second generation, led by Manuel Alonso Sempere, set the goal of establishing strong and lasting relationships with farmers across the country. This policy led to significant national expansion and the creation and consolidation of business partnerships that still endure today.
In this way, and for over 30 years, the family business that was born in the Valverde partidor built its commercial networks, showcasing principles and a model of close, personal relationships that would establish it as a national benchmark.
1989
third generation
Manuel, Sebastián, and Isabel Alonso Piñol take over, leading the company towards new heights of quality, productivity, and efficiency through investment in technology and the modernization of facilities.
With the aim of expanding their product range, they acquired a new shelling facility and a processing plant in the Elche Business Park: a blend of modernity and tradition.
Manolet Almonds had become a solid, well-established brand, ready to confidently make the leap into international markets.
2019 / 2024
manolet
at present
Far from ending, this story brings us to the present, where the fourth generation, Manuel and Marina Alonso Blasco, supported by an excellent professional team, address the needs of a global market. They are backed by the experience and expertise of those who came before them, from whom they continue to learn through years of hard work and dedication.
New technologies and production processes, combined with strong demand and the opening of new markets, led to the construction of a state-of-the-art facility in the Elche Business Park between 2019 and 2021.
Today, the MANOLET brand is present in more than 40 countries and operates a 33,000-square-meter facility, making us a global leader in the industry.
