Julián Martín, S.A. is a family business founded in 1933, currently managed by the 3rd generation and dedicated to the production and marketing of products exclusively made from Ibérico pig.

The Julián Martín Group has its own livestock and farms, as well as a slaughterhouse and several specialized production facilities located in Guijuelo (Salamanca) and the Alentejo region (Portugal). In this way the control of the complete production cycle is maintained, guaranteeing the quality and homogeneity of the elaborated products.

Betting on the quality and maintenance of ancient traditions, the salting process is carried out manually with sea salt, and the natural drying conditions are maintained in the more than 300,000 annual hams and shoulders that are cured in the Group's facilities. In addition, more than 2,000 tons of sausages and loins are sold each year.

Currently the Group has a staff of more than 200 employees and markets its products through prestigious clients at a national level (for more than 40 years, the main Iberian supplier of El Corte Inglés) and in 35 countries on five continents .

Julián Martín has obtained the British Retail Consortium (BRC) and International Featured Standards (IFS) certifications as part of the efforts to raise their quality protocols at the highest level. Both are quality certification and food safety programs considered a global standard, obtained through audits carried out by external entities.

Through Jamonturismo®, Julián Martín has made known the production of the Iberian to more than 3,000 visitors last year. This pioneer activity (2008) has been identified as one of the sector's opportunities for the future by Alimarket magazine.
