Frimancha’s history dates back to 1966, when a Group of private investors decided to found what was then called Matadero Frigorífico Manchego, The Refrigerated Abattoir of La Mancha, in Valdepeñas. After 4 years of intense preparation we started our strongly family- oriented business thanks to the effort and dedication of 20 employees and concentrated primarily on cattle slaughter. The turning point of the company came in 1976 with the arrival of Moisés Argudo at the helm and Frimancha started to evolve into the company it is today.
The change was founded on the 5 basic pillars which Argudo considered fundamental in governing any business enterprise: answering investor confidence, working hard, using the best available human resources, being able to adapt to the environment and reinvesting profits towards the improvement of the company.
With these principles hardwired in Frimancha’s DNA, the company underwent a period of constant growth and expansion during the 80’s and 90’s, both in terms of business (with the manufacture of meat products) and in terms of territorial reach (starting its export activity).
This process reached its peak in 2002 with the incorporation of one of the main food and agriculture groups in Spain: the VallCompanys group, broadening the company’s horizons.

Frimancha is the culmination of the integrated production process of the VallCompanys Group. Thanks to our modern facilities and highly qualified staff, the group has become a market leader in the field of meat production.
The slaughter and quartering of cattle is performed in compliance with the strictest quality guarantees, offering a product – be it fresh or frozen – which satisfies all health, technological and sensory requirements, destined for both national and international markets.
Frimancha’s beef has made a name for itself. Frimancha boasts farms dedicated to the rearing of Granja Vallehermoso brand beef. We certify the beef’s quality according to the strictest production criteria and apply these throughout the entire process, starting with the cattle selection by age, the diet based on cereal, fodder and minerals and concluding with its retail. The entire process is guaranteed and certified by the independent body Certicar.
We specialize in Ibérico, Duroc and White Pork. We invest heavily in innovation, variety and constant quality improvement. In spite of the fact that we are an established company with a broad range of processed products – fresh, cooked, smoked and precooked – our star product at the moment is fresh Ibérico pork reared on cereal and fodder.
Over the years VallCompanys and Frimancha have reared and improved the genetic lineage of their cereal-reared Iberian pork together. 2014 is the long awaited moment in which we introduce our entire fresh meat range, packaged with cutting- edge technologies, both to the national market and to important international markets capable of recognizing the quality of this meat which is so unique and Spanish.
