**Dulmatesa is a family-owned industrial bakery and pastry group with nearly a century of history.** We were founded in 1920 in Puente Genil as a small workshop; in 1950 we opened our first factory, and with the second generation, we modernized our processes and brought Andalusian flavor across Spain. In 2015, the third generation drove the creation of the Dulmatesa Group, and in 2020 we incorporated the Navarrés plant (Valencia). Today we operate with headquarters in Málaga and two production centers —Puente Genil and Navarrés— supplying large-scale retail with end-to-end solutions, from raw materials to ready-to-enjoy products. We are a high-performance industrial company: **over 400 professionals**, coordinated shifts, stringent standards, and strategic customers who trust our ability to meet deadlines, quality, and food safety requirements. Our growth —**€100M turnover in 2024**— is sustained by a culture that combines craftsmanship and professionalization. We believe the best production system is the one built by people. That’s why we nurture talent through clear and practical performance evaluations, tailored development paths, and hands-on leadership on the shop floor. Our values —**Quality, Efficiency and Commitment; Teamwork, Flexibility, Leadership and Exemplary Conduct; Nonconformity and Customer Orientation**— guide every decision: we optimize resources, continuously improve each process, and place the customer at the center —without losing the human touch that defines us. **Dulmatesa: growing with values, leading with commitment… and producing industrial pastries every day that reach millions of homes, with quality and at scale.** **Food Quality Manager** ==================================== **Key Responsibilities:** ---------------------- * Supervise and ensure compliance with the **Quality Control Plan** and food safety regulations (**IFS, BRC, HACCP**, etc.) * Lead **internal and external audits**, managing resulting corrective and preventive actions.
