Company
A story of work, dedication and growth
In the 80s, Conrado Merino Inyesto took over the old family business, a fishmonger in a stall in the Plaza de Abastos in Palencia. Little by little, it begins to expand this traditional trade business with the marketing of live seafood and its distribution among restaurant businesses in the area.
In 1991 he founded the company VIVEROS MERIMAR SL, dedicated to the wholesale trade of fish and seafood. A company with constant growth that in 2005 began the production and marketing of cooked octopus, under the MERIPUL brand, becoming one of the main octopus players in Spain.
The success of the company caused several investment funds to focus on VIVEROS MERIMAR with whom Conrado and his team negotiated until reaching an agreement with one of them, closing an important corporate operation with the Angulas Aguinaga Group. In 2023, the Merino family embarks on a new business stage, at the head of MERPACIFICO, with more ambitious objectives.
