Industrial Evolution
Our journey began in 1982 in Vilagarcía de Arousa (Pontevedra), right in the heart of Galicia's seafood canning cluster. Four decades later, TACORE continues leading industry innovation guided by the exact philosophy upon which it was founded: engineering and manufacturing robust, dependable, high-precision industrial machinery.
Generations of mechanical engineers, certified boiler makers, CNC machinists, and software automation developers have shaped every turnkey project. That shared industrial knowledge is our greatest asset and our guarantee for seafood processors across five continents.
Headquarters & Factory: Perrón, 12 – Rubianes, Vilagarcía de Arousa (Pontevedra, Spain) · Full control of the production process.
