TRANSGOURMET IBERICA SA
TRANSGOURMET IBERICA, S.A. is a Spanish public limited company (Sociedad Anonima) registered with the Registro Mercantil de Girona under CIF A17371758. The company was incorporated on 31 May 1993 and its registered office is at Carrer dels Germans Miquel s/n, 17469 Vilamalla, in the province of Girona, Catalonia. Its registry status is listed as active.
The company traded previously under the names Miquel Alimentacio and, from 2018, General Markets Food Iberica, S.A. (“GM Food”), before adopting its current name, TRANSGOURMET IBERICA, S.A., following a change of ownership completed in 2020.
TRANSGOURMET IBERICA, S.A. is classified under CNAE codes 4619/4639, covering wholesale trade intermediaries and wholesale distribution of food and beverage products. Its principal activities are the import, export and wholesale distribution of food and drink, supplying the foodservice (horeca) sector and independent retailers, and operating a network of franchised proximity supermarkets under banners including Suma, Proxim, Spar and Kuups. According to company and trade-press reporting, TRANSGOURMET IBERICA, S.A. runs seven distribution centres and several cash-and-carry (“GM Cash”) sites across Spain, including the Canary Islands, and supplies more than 2,500 independent businesses through a network of around 700 affiliated supermarkets.
For the 2024 financial year, trade press reported consolidated sales of approximately EUR 1.22 billion for the Transgourmet Iberica business, a decline of close to 3% year on year, alongside a net profit of EUR 24.3 million, up 15% on the prior year. These figures were reported at the level of the Spanish business as covered in trade media rather than confirmed as the standalone statutory accounts of this specific legal entity.
In 2025, the company announced an EUR 85 million investment programme to support further growth in Spain, and completed acquisitions including Dispuig and Moya Saus, alongside the creation of the joint venture Nuditrans with Nudisco and construction of a new GM Cash site at Mercabarna in Barcelona.

Shareholders
No shareholder register or beneficial-ownership filing for TRANSGOURMET IBERICA, S.A. was located among the Spanish registry sources reviewed for this profile; Spain does not make a public shareholder registry available for this type of company. Multiple reputable business-press sources (Financial Food, The New Barcelona Post, Profesional Horeca) reported that Transgourmet Holding AG, the Swiss wholesale-distribution subsidiary of Coop Genossenschaft (the Coop Group), acquired 100% of the company – then trading as General Markets Food Iberica, S.A. – in a transaction completed in 2020. No subsequent change of control has been identified in the sources reviewed. TRANSGOURMET IBERICA, S.A. sits within the Coop Group, a Swiss retail and wholesale cooperative (Genossenschaft), rather than under a conventional joint-stock parent, so it does not have a public cap table of natural-person or listed institutional shareholders in the way a stand-alone company might.
### Ultimate beneficial ownership
No individual ultimate beneficial owner can be reliably identified. The ownership chain terminates in Coop Genossenschaft, a Swiss cooperative owned collectively by its members rather than by identifiable natural-person shareholders, so no effective UBO percentage can be calculated.
### Data availability
Shareholder and UBO information for this entity is Not public in the Spanish company registry. The single reported shareholder relationship (Transgourmet Holding AG, 100%) is sourced from 2020 acquisition reporting in the business press rather than from a filed ownership disclosure, and should be treated as indicative rather than as a registry-confirmed current shareholding.

Group Structure
TRANSGOURMET IBERICA, S.A. is not an independent company; it is an operating subsidiary within the Coop Group, the Swiss retail and wholesale cooperative headquartered in Basel. Its immediate parent is Transgourmet Holding AG (Switzerland, registration number CHE-116.091.977), the Coop Group’s international wholesale and foodservice holding company, which multiple reputable business-press sources reported as having acquired 100% of the company (then named General Markets Food Iberica, S.A.) in a transaction completed in 2020. The ultimate parent of the group is Coop Genossenschaft (Coop Group), Switzerland (registration number CHE-302.816.540), a cooperative society rather than a listed or privately held corporation. Group-level corporate-database sources also associate a number of other Spanish and Andorran entities with TRANSGOURMET IBERICA, S.A. within the wider Transgourmet/Coop structure, including Transgourmet Canarias, S.L.U. and Transgourmet Andorra, S.L.U.; these could not be independently confirmed against a primary registry filing within this review. One third-party registry aggregator listed Transgourmet Canarias, S.L.U. against a different, apparently outdated parent (Bright Food Group Spain, S.A., the entity’s pre-2020 owner), so this relationship is treated as possible rather than verified here and is excluded from the table below. Information is current as of September 2026 research.
### Verified corporate relationships
| Entity | Country | Registration number | Relationship | Ownership | Status | Information date |
|—|—|—|—|—:|—|—|
| Transgourmet Holding AG | CH | CHE-116.091.977 | Immediate parent | 100% (reported) | Active | 2020 acquisition, reported 2026 |
| Coop Genossenschaft (Coop Group) | CH | CHE-302.816.540 | Ultimate parent | Not disclosed (cooperative, no share capital) | Active | 2026 |
### Recent structural changes
– Acquisition: Transgourmet Holding AG acquired 100% of the company (then General Markets Food Iberica, S.A.) from Bright Food Group Spain, S.A., completed 2020.
– Rename: the company changed its name from General Markets Food Iberica, S.A. to TRANSGOURMET IBERICA, S.A. following the 2020 change of control.
### Data availability
Corporate-linkage information for this entity is Partial: the immediate and ultimate parent relationships are corroborated by multiple reputable business-press sources, but Spain’s registry disclosure does not itself publish a shareholder or group chart, and subsidiary-level relationships sourced from third-party corporate databases could not be independently verified and are therefore excluded from the table above.
