“Hervás now is a point of innovation and talent thanks to the construction of the Natac center,” added Ms. Patricia Valle, Mayor of Hervás.
The Hervás factory’s first objective is to produce plant extracts, both from botanical species known in the region such as olive trees, grapes, and saffron as well as from species grown in remote geographical areas such as rhodiola; originally from Siberia.
“Multiple technological factors, not to mention its organic certification, make this production plant a world reference and the most efficient and clean in our industry,” explained Mr. Antonio Delgado.
Sustainability has always been a key part of Natac, as the center of its existence and, with this recent location, it extends its vertical integration model based on strategic alliances to the Extremadura region, with important local producers to offer natural ingredients with the highest quality and traceability guarantees. In addition, the synergy created between the factory and its surroundings is also positioning the town of Hervás on the world map of healthy ingredients.
