History

Tregar was founded in the 1940s by a couple of Spanish immigrants, Cipriano García and Hortensia de Simón.^[5] During it first period, the company only produced milk, but later expanded as a handcraft cheese producer. Their three sons, Florencio, Vicente and Pedro established

The founders' sons (Florencio, Vicente, and Pedro) expanded the small enterprise, transforming it into the García Hermanos Company.^[4] In the first years of the 21st Century, it benefited on the crisis of big rival company SanCor, which lost a big market share.^[10]
