Our history
Three generations, one way of doing things.
Grupo Crono was founded in 1974 in the countryside of Extremadura, with a first generation devoted to farming. The second generation moved into manufacturing and the restaurant business, linking the Talayuela plant with the restaurants in Madrid. Today the third generation runs the group with the same principles: our own products, control of every link in the chain, and long-term relationships with customers and suppliers.

Who we manufacture for
A manufacturer, three ways to work with you.

Retail and private label
We develop your product from the recipe: formulation, industrial trials, format, shelf life and labelling, and we manufacture it in series with full traceability and confidentiality from start to finish.
Custom development02
HORECA and contract catering
Dishes and desserts in deep-frozen single portions, ready to regenerate and serve. No waste, no extra staff, and the same result in every service.
