This company has its origins in the 1950s when I decided, after finishing my Chemistry degree at IQS, to establish an import business specialized in animal oils and fatty acids in order to supply the growing demand of the Spanish soap industry.
I opened our first office in Plaza Palacio, located in Barcelona, but one step at the time the activity took on importance and, in 1977 I founded INTERFAT SA with a team of people who helped me to position the company in the market, gaining a solid reputation as specialist suppliers in vegetable and animal oils within the national and Portuguese industry.
In the mid-1980s, the growth of the business led us to move the company's headquarters to new and modern offices in Avenida Diagonal in Barcelona. Towards the 90s we decided to give more importance to our natural oils of vegetable origin products and to industries with the greatest influence such as cosmetics and pharmaceutical laboratories.
INTERFAT is currently considered a reference supplier in the market and our quality is highly recognized because of our quality and quick service. In addition, the extensive experience and knowledge of the sector allows our team to be in constant motion to satisfy our clients with the new areas they demand.
For a few years we have been in the process of expansion and internationalization to transfer our huge experience to other geographic markets.
