Their Majesties the King and Queen, paid their visit on Friday 19 January to the facilities owned by the Spanish company JOMA SPORT in Portillo de Toledo. The company’s central headquarters where its main offices and logistics centre are based.
Mr. Fructuoso López, Chairman and company founder, and his family who manage this family business, acted as hosts for Their Majesties’ visit, accompanied by institutional representatives such as the Chairman of the Board of the Communities of Castilla – La Mancha, Mr. Emiliano García-Paje, and the Government’s regional delegate, Mr. José Julián Gregorio López.
The facilities visited comprise 65,000 square metres, home to nearly 200 employees divided into Administration and the Design and Logistics Centre. The company’s headquarters in Portillo de Toledo, directs its activity in the more than 110 countries in which it currently has a commercial presence, as well as being responsible for the day-to- day management of the eight subsidiaries comprising the JOMA SPORT Group (United States, Mexico, Brazil, Italy, United Kingdom, Germany, China and Latin America). Furthermore, all JOMA’s products are designed here: sports footwear, the technical textile collection, textile fashion lines and the exclusive collections for the teams sponsored by the Joma brand such as the Spanish Olympic Committee, Villarreal C.F., the Spanish national sides in athletics, rugby, handball, Premier League football team Swansea City or the Italian club U.C. Sampdoria (considered to wear the most beautiful football shirt in the world).
The Logistics Centre is outstanding and one of the most innovative in the sector in Spain. In recent years the company has committed a large investment to expedite the movement of its goods and shipping out of orders, the service being one of JOMA SPORT’s strengths, helping it retain its position as Spain’s best sports equipment brand for a decade, as certified by sports market consultants. During the past year the latest additions in robotic logistics went online, a megastructure of 1,500 m 2 with the ability to store four million references, composed of five robots for processing orders very quickly, thus providing Joma’s customers with immediate shipment of sports equipment.
In this important visit, their Majesties the King and Queen and other VIPs, shown around by company founder Fructuoso López, have seen first-hand the very important work that Joma has carried out for over 50 years in the Spanish sports industry and its expansion throughout the world. JOMA is a brand that has not stopped growing and that knows no limits.
