Regional Co. is a company founded in 1921 by Vicente Navarro Navarro in Novelda, a town in the province of Alicante. From its beginnings, the company was dedicated to the sale and marketing of spices and saffron in bulk, as at that time there was a growing trade in these products brought both from La Mancha, in the case of saffron, and from the Far East, in the case of spices.
During its early years, thanks to the commercial trips on which its owner embarked, Regional Co. managed to become a benchmark company, consolidating and continuing to grow for many years.
Nowadays, Regional Co. does not have a licence or facilities for the handling and packaging of spices, but its function is more commercial, always looking for new product approaches, new places to introduce them and positioning the brand both online and offline. Its objective is not so much to be a production factory and dedicate itself to the packaging and creation of the product, but to create a brand and position itself in the market as a leading company within the gourmet market in the variation of spices, with innovation and differentiation being the fundamental value for which Regional Co. is standing out in the market.
