Spanish value-added seafood processor Congalsa is investing around €4.8 million ($5.3 million) in IT, robotics and data systems.

The technology is aimed at helping the company streamline and improve production systems and adapt quicker to customer needs, Congalsa Commercial Director Julio Simarro told IntraFish.

The project is partly backed by Spanish and EU regional development funds.

Founded in 1990, the Simarro family-owned business annually produces around 25,000 metric tons of products across 100 lines for foodservice and retail customers.

These include frozen stuffed dumplings, stuffed puff pastry, spring rolls), fish dishes, mixes, seafood cocktails and paella.
