Hermasa could only have worked its way to the top in Vigo. Our company is the result of an entrepreneurial and technological character, but it is also the result of a natural and economic environment that dates back more than two thousand years. In this corner of the European continent, on the ocean\u2019s edge, Nature created some estuaries sheltered from the Atlantic Ocean in which immense sardine fishing grounds flourished. The Castrexos, pre-Roman populations, had already developed a small fishing industry in the 2nd<\/sup> century B.C.<\/h5>\n
In the first Roman settlements of what is today the city of Vigo, in the 1st<\/sup> century, industrial sites were established devoted to the preservation of fish using the salting process, laying the bases of a culture that lives on until the present day. This privileged place became home to the fishing port of Vigo, which is the most important in Europe today, with 15,000 people working within its perimeters. Its four docks, and five warehouses move more than 800,000 tonnes of marine species a year. A portion of this activity is devoted to the canning industry in Galicia. This activity is joined by mussel cultivation in the estuaries, which make Spain the main producer of mussels in Europe.<\/h5>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row fullwidth=”true” fullwidth_content=”false”][vc_column]
