The Cradle of Canned

The Region of Murcia is considered the cradle of tinned foods /canned foods at Spain.
In 1897, the first company that manufactured canned goods in the Region of Murcia was stablished at Alcantarilla (currently, the multinational company Hero, has a processing plant in this town, since 1922). The greatest moment of splendor would come in the 80s.
