Premios Castilla Leon Economica - Hiperbaric

The tenacity and effort of the staff at Hiperbaric, with the moral and material support received from numerous national and regional entities, have made it possible for the world leader in high-pressure processing technology, Hiperbaric, to remain a Castilian-Leonese firm . An achievement that has made worthy of the award for Best Business Operation of 2018, granted by the prestigious magazine Castilla y León Económica.

The most prestigious Awards

Andrés Hernando, CEO of Hiperbaric, received yesterday November 15, from the hands of Ricardo García, vice president of Europe of Benteler, the Award for the Best Castilian-Leonese Business Operation of 2018 granted by the magazine Castilla y León Económica. This award rewarded the courage, tenacity and work of Andrés Hernando and his team, composed of people from Hiperbaric and Desmasa, their strategic supplier, when betting on the purchase of the company in the month of last April.

In January 2018, the majority shareholder of Hiperbaric decided to sell the company, valued at € 135 million, to its main competitor, an American multinational. Although it seemed difficult because of the level of investment required, Andrés Hernando, who had 10% of the Burgos company and a preferential purchase right, sought and found the support of several Spanish partners. Among these including Alantra, the pioneer firm in the venture capital sector, in Spain.

That allowed not letting escape the technology of high pressure developed since 1999 in Burgos, abroad and perpetuate its future in Castilla y León. The company directly employs more than 120 workers, and it can be estimated that its activity generates at least 50 more jobs in companies that are its suppliers.
