El Encinar de Humienta S.A. was founded in 1998, thanks to the entrepreneurial vision of the Collar and Yartu families, who are well-versed in the meat industry with extensive experience. Their expertise has allowed the company to become a leader in the beef sector in Spain.
This growth led to the creation of a Joint Venture between El Encinar de Humienta and OSI Foods, under the name ENOSI Foods Iberica S.L., through which all mature cattle processed in our facilities are marketed.
The headquarters is located in Mercamadrid, in a 12,000 m² facility that houses the main offices, a cutting room, and a factory for fresh prepared products. The production plant is located in Almaraz (Cáceres), where the slaughterhouse is currently being expanded to include a new production area, adding an additional 12,000 m².
Currently, the company has an average workforce of 560 people engaged in beef production, encompassing activities from live cattle procurement, through slaughtering and cutting, to marketing and distribution.
Our meat processing facilities are equipped with the latest technology for producing burgers, minced meat, sliced cuts, packaging, and custom preparations for the hospitality sector, all under the most rigorous certifications.
70% of the production volume is marketed within Spain, while the remaining 30% is destined for export.
