History of Lacasa: A Sweet Beginning
Lacasa is the oldest chocolate factory in Spain. It was started way back in 1852 by José Lacasa Piens. He began his sweet business in Jaca, a small town near the Pyrenees mountains.
Over time, Lacasa S.A. grew bigger and bigger. It moved its main operations to Zaragoza. The company became one of the top sweet makers in Europe. It was also one of the first to get the ISO 9002 Quality Certification. This means their products meet very high quality standards.
Growing the Company: New Factories and Brands
In the 1990s, Lacasa worked hard to become even stronger in the market. In 1991, they made their factory in Utebo much larger. They also bought other companies that made sweets.
Some of these companies included Productos Mauri, S.A. from Barcelona, Bombonera Vallisoletana from Valladolid, and Chocolates del Norte from Oviedo. These purchases helped Lacasa offer even more tasty treats to people.
