History

since 1875

A look back at our most important milestones since our foundation in 1875

In 1875 the first factory was founded in San Adrián, the canning heart of Navarra. A century later, the BEBÉ brand still has its factory in the same location.

Since 1934 we have been making jams, fruit in syrup and compotes, respecting the traditional recipe but incorporating the latest technological advances.

In 2003, we joined the Helios Group, a national leader in the jam market, with the aim of continuing to manufacture BEBÉ brand products with the same care as always.
