What is our commitment?
We are on a mission to delight consumers by conserving the goodness of nature. The world today is different from what it was 10 years ago, and nothing like it was in 1886 when Hero was founded in Lenzburg, Switzerland. However, our core goals remain the same. We have adapted to change, offering consumers high quality, healthy, natural and sustainable food.
Hero Spain, with its headquarter in Alcantarilla (Murcia), has formed part of this legacy since 1922. We are committed to naturalness in our products, maintaining a firm nutritional commitment and constantly improving thanks to our commitment to continuous innovation and research, to adapt to the needs of consumers, customers, and new market trends.
Recently, Hero Spain has been certified as a #TopEmployer in 2023 and 2024, an achievement that reflects our ongoing commitment to the well-being and development of our team of talents. This recognition is a testament to the exceptional culture we have cultivated together, positioning us as one of the best companies to work for in Spain. This would not have been possible without the commitment and dedication of every person who is part of the Hero family.
