Maes Honey has been dedicated to the world of honey production and export for more than four generations,<\/strong> which has made it grow day after day in recent decades. We are leaders in honey exports thanks to our effort and sacrifice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today we tell you everything about us!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Growing as honey leaders in exporters since 1910<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Redondo family began in the world of beekeeping as a family business<\/strong> in 1910 thanks to the teaching of Cura de Valero. The consumption of honey was widespread internationally and due to the war, honey was exchanged for wheat in large markets in the province.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The great-grandfather C\u00e9sar Andr\u00e9s creates the company Feyce \u200b\u200band buys his first 10 hives in Valero. The professionalization of this activity came from the hand of Cecilio Redondo<\/strong>, who devised an ingenious system of transhumance taking advantage of the fact that the plants from which the nectar is obtained flourish earlier in the south than, in the north, transporting the swarms to territories of the provinces of Badajoz or C\u00e1ceres to obtain a greater harvest of honey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Later, I moved them to Salamanca in time for the late flowering to allow for new production, which later made us begin to be leaders in honey exports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Leap into a new era as leading honey exporters<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

After this initiative, Cecilio became the main beekeeper in the area, having more than 2,000 hives.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cecilio began to sell honey throughout the north of Spain and in the 80s he stopped production and began to dedicate himself to artisan packaging for bulk trade, building a new warehouse located in Aldeatejada (Salamanca).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 1989, it inaugurated the first pasteurization plant and made the leap to the honey packaging industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The beginning of the export<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Due to the sustained growth, it was decided to include the sale of honey <\/a>throughout the country, making the business known.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After the success in Spain, little by little it was internationalized and soon began to expand throughout the world and the first countries that began to buy honey were Germany, Portugal, France and years later honey was already sold throughout Europe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With this great leap, new machines, technologies and innovations were integrated into the factory, giving way to a new era.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2017, C\u00e9sar Redondo, Cecilio’s son, took over the management of the family business and changed the image and name to Maes Honey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With this, it also implements new changes such as the installation of 3 new PET container formats, with an anti-drip system, the processing and packaging plant is installed to increase the export of honey, in addition to assembling 2 high production automatic PET packaging lines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
