October 28, 2024.- Laqtia, a company specializing in the development, manufacture and marketing of instant beverages, has been recognized with the prestigious Internationalization Award at the SME of the Year Awards 2024. This award, granted by the Chamber of Commerce of Toledo and Banco Santander, in collaboration with the Chamber of Spain and the newspaper La Tribuna de Toledo, recognizes Laqtia’s trajectory and its firm commitment to international expansion, an effort that began more than 15 years ago and has borne resounding fruit in the last year.

Thanks to the expansion of its distributor network, Laqtia currently distributes its products in 43 countries worldwide and its international presence has been boosted by significant growth in key markets such as France and the United Kingdom, as well as an increase in its presence in Latin America and the Middle East.

In 2023, Laqtia experienced its year of greatest international consolidation with an important milestone: for the first time in its history, international sales exceeded domestic sales. This achievement is even more remarkable considering that sales in the Spanish market also grew by double digits, reflecting Laqtia’s strength both nationally and globally.

The quality of Laqtia’s products, recognized for its commitment to “Made in Spain”, has been fundamental for its acceptance in these international markets, consolidating its reputation in the instant beverage sector.

The award ceremony was held last Friday, October 25, where Ignacio Bazán, Export Director of Laqtia, received the award from Francisco Rodríguez, Director of the Tribuna de Toledo. The event was welcomed by the President of the Chamber of Commerce of Toledo, María de los Ángeles Martínez, who was accompanied by the Director of La Tribuna de Toledo, Francisco Rodríguez, the Territorial Director of Banco Santander, Francisco Piña and the Minister of Economy, Business and Employment of the Junta de Comunidades de Castilla-La Mancha, Patricia Franco.
