Zitromac, a Navarre-based company specialized in processed fruit for the hospitality and large retail sectors, has successfully completed the exit of Sodena —the public investment company of the Government of Navarre— from its shareholding structure. This divestment marks the conclusion of a strategic phase that began in 2016 and reflects the company’s consolidation, maturity, and business strength.
Over the course of nine years, Sodena has supported Zitromac’s growth with an initial capital injection of €20,000 in 2016, followed by a €80,000 participative loan.
Sodena has played a key role in Zitromac’s development, providing financing, strategic guidance, and decisive support in processes such as professionalization, sustained growth, and international expansion. Thanks to this backing, the company has significantly scaled its operational capacity and established a strong presence both in the Spanish market and across Europe.
Today, Zitromac employs 19 people, with a diverse team in which over 47% are women, and has commercial operations in 11 European countries.
The numbers underscore this growth: in just five years, the company’s revenue has grown from €325,000 in 2019 to €1.3 million in 2024, doubling its workforce and strengthening its position as an innovative, dynamic company committed to quality.
All of this growth has been achieved while maintaining strong local roots. Around 60% of Zitromac’s logistics, production, and service operations are carried out with suppliers based in the region of Navarre, directly contributing to the reinforcement of the local business fabric and supporting a proximity-based economy.
Iñigo Marco and Carlos Castán, founding partners, emphasize the importance of this period alongside Sodena and highlight its impact on the company’s development:
“We are deeply grateful to Sodena for their trust, vision, and commitment from the very beginning. This divestment exemplifies the value of collaboration between public investors and innovative, high-growth-potential companies. Without their support, we wouldn't be where we are today.”
With this new phase, Zitromac reaffirms its ambition to continue growing solidly, committed to quality, innovation, local development, and international expansion.
