How Borges Started
Borges International Group has a long history. It began in 1896. A couple named Antonio Pont Pont and Dolores Creus Casanovas started it. They called their first company Industrias Pont.
At first, they mainly sold almonds and olives. These were common products in their region of Spain. In 1914, the company grew bigger. They bought an oil mill to start making their own olive oil. This was a big step towards becoming an industrial food company.
Later, in 1985, Borges started to expand internationally. They opened their first office outside Spain. This office was in California, USA. It helped them get walnuts and almonds from other countries.
