About Us
HA GROUP is a family-owned company whose main business is the production and processing of table olives.
Arquellada Brothers Olives, hereafter HA GROUP, is a limited partnership which has been operated by José Manuel Muñoz Arquellada and his children over 30 years. Jose Manuel Muñoz has more than 40 years in the field of olives, having managed and owned various olives-related companies during his career.
HA GROUP was born in the late 1960s, when Jose Manuel Arquellada worked as a transporter for an olives-related business. His strong work ethic and eagerness to learn combined with his focus and dedication to the company earned him the respects of colleagues in the industry.
Jose Manuel´s children have embraced their father’ vision of producing the highest quality olives and have built upon three principles inherited from their father: diligence, humility and focus on excellence.
This new generation has undertaken important steps for the company’s future, including a series of strategic initiatives over the last three years. One of the main objective has been to offer the olives of highest quality at a competitive price. HA group collects olives of all sizes and is attentive to every step and person involved the production process. We care for the earth on which the olives are grown as well as the packing company who has become a loyal client. This attention is possible due to our manzanilla and gordal farms, which allows us to be the leader of table olives production in the industry. Besides our own production, we have longstanding agreement with cooperatives and farmers that were established by Jose Manuel Arquellada personally.
Furthermore, HA GROUP has conducted studies in different varieties of olives in Andalusia and their potential as table olives. The result of this research come from the new factory located in Villafranca de los Barros, Badajoz. In this facility, we work with new varieties of olives that are offered to our customers as an alternative to existing varieties or as an extension of current catalog.
The strategic changes implemented in the company can be summed up in a phrase that has become our internal motto is: A happy provider generates new customers and high client satisfaction. The special partnership we have developed with our suppliers has led to the new clientele with increased sales from existing customers.
