The co-founder and CEO of Veritas, Silvio Elías de Gispert, consolidates the expansion of a project that was born in Barcelona in 2002 and that this September has reached 100 points of sale. The organic supermarket chain has reached this figure after a process of territorial expansion that has already taken it to nine autonomous communities and Andorra, with Catalonia at the forefront, with 55 establishments.

A few months before the company's 25th anniversary, Veritas' growth is also reflected in its results. The group closed 2025 with a record turnover of 140 million euros, 14% more than the previous year, and currently serves 250,000 families. With more than 6,000 products, all with organic certification, the company has built its proposal around healthy eating, sustainability and responsible consumption.

A graduate in Business Administration and Management and MBA from ESADE, Elías worked at Arthur Andersen, Albert Heijn and Caprabo before launching Veritas. Since 2002, he has led the project, which has been a pioneer in the introduction of organic food in large-scale distribution and which in 2016 became the first European supermarket to obtain B Corp certification. The arrival at a hundred stores confirms the consolidation of a model that has made organic food an increasingly accessible proposal for the general public.
