ORDESA

Ordesa is a brand dedicated mainly to the development of products for the nutritional care of adults and children. The company offers food products to provide solutions to all the particular needs of each patient. Laboratorios Ordesa was founded in 1943 in Tamarite de Litera (Huesca) as a family business that in 1956 launched its first Blevit baby food, followed by Blemil infant milks.

In the 1980s it moved its industrial facilities to its current location in Sant Boi De Llobregat (Barcelona). The move involved a modernisation of its infrastructures, which made it possible to automate production processes, facilitate research and improve quality controls. This company is present in Spain only in the pharmacy and parapharmacy channel, always in collaboration with health professionals, paediatricians and pharmacists. Ordesa maintains its success thanks to having become an important benchmark in baby food. Its policy marked by research and innovation led to the patenting of a probiotic incorporated into all its products such as infant formulas and food supplements.

After 75 years in the pharmaceutical industry, the company has opted for product diversification and international expansion. They have developed highly innovative products that were first put on the market, such as the first hydrolysed or gluten-free baby food. They also stand out for the creation of foods for the treatment of digestive disorders, milks, cereals and infant infusions.

The main base of this company's turnover is dairy products for children and cereals, although its products are gaining prominence in all the areas to which it is dedicated. The company also has paediatric food supplements, also indicated for women's wellbeing, nutritional supplements for adults, and includes a dermatological line for the care of atopic skin. They offer quality products not only for children, but also for the general population, with a concern for nutrition, health and wellbeing. Currently, Ordesa has acquired the Colnatur brand to add collagen products to its research portfolio.

The company's core values include leadership, integrity, passion, quality, innovation and commitment. Under the leadership of its CEO, Joan Permanyer, the company aims to become a national and international benchmark for prescribers, consumers, employees, customers and suppliers.

Among the secondary activities carried out by the brand, the company has created the Ordesa Chair of Child Nutrition where, in collaboration with the universities of Zaragoza, Cantabria and Granada, it aims to promote research in the field of infant nutrition and the training of healthcare professionals. In 2012, the company also created the Ordesa Foundation, a non-profit organisation dedicated to improving the quality of life and nutrition of children around the world.
