SAMMIC / Spain
The beginning: 1961-1975 - A group of local entrepreneurs founded Fammic SA, now called Sammic, a manufacturing and sales company, in view of the tourist boom that was taking place on the Spanish coast. The company began its activities by manufacturing potato peelers and gradually opened branches in different parts of the peninsula. 15 years later, the subsidiary SAMMIC was already founded, dealing with sales, another manufacturing company called Danamac, and produced various dynamic food preparation devices, such as planetary mixers. The company had its own branches in Barcelona, Madrid, Valencia, Seville and Vigo. 1975-1990: business expansion.
During this period, Sammic strengthened its activities in the production of dynamic food preparation devices and entered the dishwasher segment, two of its key areas to this day. The company strengthened its position nationally by opening a branch in Palma de Mallorca, and during these years it also began exporting and consolidated its position in this activity. 1991-2007: internationalization
During this period, in addition to the opening of the branch in the Canary Islands, the first international Sammic subsidiaries were also created in the United Kingdom, France, Portugal and Italy. The company developed, expanded and updated its dishwashing and food preparation ranges and began to deal with a third major product family, which remains to this day: food preservation, with the introduction of the first vacuum sealers. 2008-2023: the challenges of a global group.
In 2008, Sammic's headquarters and factory moved to its new facilities in Azkoitia. Subsidiaries were opened in the United States, Mexico, Asia (Singapore, Vietnam, Thailand) and the Middle East. We exported to more than 100 countries worldwide. With the development of SmartVide, we have evolved towards the digital and connected kitchen and, with the services of the corporate chef, we have started to work more closely than ever with consumers.
We are constantly developing new products. So much so that a solution for controlling cooking and reheating times led to the creation of Janby Digital Kitchen as a division of Sammic. Sammic, today -
A workforce of 200 people. More than 2000 product items. Direct presence in 11 countries and exports to more than 130 countries on 5 continents.
