Although the food sector weathered the crisis with relative ease, the cannery Alfageme -via its creditors- is one of the companies that ends 2011 with bankruptcy pit.

The Spanish company’s final stage is tragic. The creditors have sued the owners, real-estate Promalar, for possible irregular funding of 11 million Euros. The auditors’ report concludes that the assets total 90 million Euros and liabilities reach over 65 million Euros, so the best option would be to liquidate the company.

Another historical Spanish canning saga, the Peña family, comes to an end. The familiar logo, Ramon Pena, was sold in July to the Mexican investment company Mezger Investments, owned by Gonzalo Manuel Gómez. Another 40% is held by the seller of the brand, Distributions Delgado.
 
The only relationship Peña maintains with the canning industry is held by José Peña, who two years ago split from the family firm and founded his own company, the Real Conservera Espanola.
