Our origins and history
The company, Avecox, is the result of the initiative of a young entrepreneur named Ramón Rives Marhuenda (current Manager), who continued and later developed the activity that his father, D. José Rives Almira, who died in 1981, had initiated and taught him many years before.
In 1976, Ramón Rives decided to start up an ambitious project and built an industrial poultry slaughterhouse, thus creating the first company that would bear his name, Ramón Rives, S.L. He started out with his wife Mª Carmen Gambín, with only 5 employees, and all the tasks involved in the poultry slaughtering were performed entirely by hand. He only had the assistance of 2 poultry pickers and a scalder. He only had the assistance of 2 poultry pickers and a scalder.
Its business growth became well-known within the sector, almost inadvertently, until in March 1991 it was registered under the name of Avecox, S.L. Since its establishment, Avecox has been growing steadily and progressively.As a result of all these years of effort, Avecox, S.L. has become a consolidated company in the Spanish market, and at the same time, it has earned a place in the international market.
Avecox, S.L. has a great potential that will be developed by the second generation Rives, who will maintain the character and identity of its predecessor.
A modern, dynamic company that has adapted to new technologies. These are some of the qualities that define this business model, currently run by its founder, and which is coming full circle with the human and professional support of all its employees.
