The Xunta de Galicia published in Diario Oficial de Galicia (DOG) the environmental clearance granted to Calvo cannery for its activities in the factory located in Carballo, A Coruña.
This permit covers all of environmental conditions and controls that the company must meet in developing its activity in this Spanish town.
The authorization was granted as a result of Calvo’s international expansion consolidation.
Employers expect Carballo factory to achieve a higher production capacity of canned tuna, reported the Galician government through the Ministry of Environment, Land and Infrastructure.
Furthermore, Calvo intends to expand its sales in the coming years in the Americas and China as part of its growth strategy, while it is seeing a recovery of North African markets, as announced by the company CEO for Europe, Enrique Orge.
This cannery gets 77 per cent of its revenues from sales outside Spain and these operations contribute to maintain the employment in the factories in Galicia — Carballo and Esteiro — the executive added.
At present, the Spanish canning company sells its products in 70 countries and plans to open more factories outside Spain.
