HEROGRA HISTORY • • • To speak of history in Herogra means tracing back to 1916. This year, D. Juan Romero Granados begun in the activity of fertilizers. Later, by the end of the sixties and the seventies, his little brother (considered the 2nd generation), D. Hermenegildo took in charge the development of new fertilizers in a market where the agriculture becomes more professional day after day, the population more numerous and consequently more requests for foods. The name of Herogra was taken from the initials of D. Hermenegildo Romero Granados. D. Hermenegildo had also the chance to attend and collaborate with the new family generation in the last decade of the century XX, when a great expansion took place in Herogra. This one took place in the manufacturing processes and commercialization having HEROGRA the widest and most innovative fertilizers ranges that exist in Europe and also the most modern and automatic systems in production, commercialization and expedition. – Finally, by the first decade of the new Millennium, the enterprise expansion took place, in which Herogra and their branches have the most modern plants of liquids, specials and composed fertilizers production. Four centers of production are distributed by the geography of Spain: Mérida, Valencia, Seville and Granada. 3 THE HISTORY OF HEROGRA ESPECIALES SL • Herogra Especiales S.L. was created in 1994. But Herogra had been working in the nutritional and phytosanitaries products distribution for several years ago. But this year, within the policy of diversification of the activities, the idea of creating a nutritional and small format products factory was performed. • And all this, entailed the creation of the company HEROGRA ESPECIALES, S.L. • Later, by a group policy, its activity was included in a division within HEROGRA FERTILIZANTES, S.A., but always keeping its independence as a different line of business with different distribution channels and an independent development. • In 2007 Herogra Especiales S.L. reaches such a high turnover that made necessary the development of its activity as a totally independent company, being the company policy and the business concept completely different from HEROGRA FERTILIZANTES • Herogra Especiales, S.L. is about to reach a turnover of 10 millions of €, it has more than 10 centers of Manufacture-Packaging.
