- The company, which is 50% owned by the Noel Alimentaria group, has consolidated its strong growth compared with 2024 and expects to maintain this upward trend throughout 2026.
- At the same time, Tap Tap Food has completed the expansion of its factory in Sant Joan les Fonts following an overall investment of €7 million. The project includes a new highly automated production line that will enable the company to triple its output.
- These milestones consolidate the company’s position as Spain’s leading manufacturer of chilled vegetable soups and support its expansion into international markets such as the United Kingdom and Japan.
Tap Tap Food, a company that is 50% owned by Noel Alimentaria and specialises in the production of vegetable soups, gazpachos, broths, sauces and dressings, closed the 2025 financial year with turnover of €14 million and a production volume of 5,010 tonnes. These figures represent increases of 40% and 35%, respectively, compared with the previous year. The company expects to maintain this upward trend throughout 2026. These positive results coincide with the completion of the expansion work at its Sant Joan les Fonts facility.
Backed by an investment of €7 million, the project has increased the production facility’s total floor space from 3,340 m² to 4,344 m². From an operational perspective, the main development has been the installation of a new highly automated production line. This is enabling the company to progressively triple its production rate for soups and sauces, increasing weekly output from 120 tonnes to a forecast 300 tonnes by 2027.
According to Julià Riera, Managing Director of Tap Tap Food, “The sustained growth achieved over recent years has enabled us to consolidate our leadership in the chilled vegetable soup segment and strengthen our international presence. These positive results confirm that we are on the right path and encourage us to continue investing in innovation, production capacity and the development of new markets.”
— Market leadership in Spain and global expansion
The new production line has strengthened Tap Tap Food’s ability to respond to growing market demand and consolidate its position as Spain’s leading producer and distributor of chilled vegetable soups.
This growth is being driven by the rise of ready-to-eat products, a category that is becoming increasingly prominent in consumer habits. Tap Tap Food’s products respond to the demand for practical and healthy solutions made with fresh ingredients. They are designed for consumers who want to save time without compromising on nutritional quality.
This successful formula, combining innovation, convenience and nutritional quality, has also supported the company’s international expansion. Tap Tap Food already sells its products in markets including the United Kingdom —where the company exported 145 tonnes of fresh gazpacho in 2025— as well as Portugal, Denmark, France, Italy, Japan and Mexico.
— Commitment to sustainability
In line with its commitment to responsible production, the Sant Joan les Fonts facility has been designed according to strict environmental sustainability criteria. In terms of production, the facility incorporates water recovery systems with automated controls to minimise consumption, as well as LED lighting and high-efficiency equipment.
The company is also implementing a comprehensive project to combat food waste, ranging from donations to food banks to research into new ways of recovering and reusing vegetable waste. These measures are complemented by a self-consumption energy model, as Tap Tap Food uses the steam and hot water generated by Noel’s cogeneration plant. This contributes to improving the facility’s energy efficiency and, consequently, reducing the associated CO₂ emissions.
