Our origins
Gonzalo Ríos and Purificación Cagigas founded in 1958 a family micro-business dedicated to the manufacture of ice cream wafers. His beginnings were hard, starting from scratch, without any business training, guided only by a great entrepreneurial spirit, together with a lot of work and sacrifice. The germ was planted in the basement of the building where they lived, working in a very traditional way. Purificación supervising the production and at the same time raising four children, Gonzalo focused on the commercial and distribution work. In 1982 they took a qualitative leap and moved their facilities to a 1200 m. industrial warehouse, modernizing machinery and increasing production.
The crisis that Spain suffered in 2007 also affected the company, forcing its managers to implement changes to adapt to a changing market. We had to be competitive, grow in the national market and probe the international market. By then the second generation, their children, were already working, together with the founders, who decidedly immersed themselves in a process of modernizing machinery and conquering foreign markets.
In 2020, GONZALO RIOS, SL expanded its facilities again and began a process of professionalization of processes and people to bring the project that began in 1958 to a successful conclusion.
