In the beginning of the 1930s, Bernardo Hernández Blázquez began his business in the sector of “Pig slaughter” using family experience to integrate completely into the market.[7] In the 1970s the founder's son Bernardo Hernández García took the company’s management in his hands and began to rear Iberian pigs in his private pastures. Nowadays his sons manage one of the 6 best companies in the sector with 2% percentage of the market. The products of BEHER are exported to more than 30 countries all over the world such as Australia, Brasil, Korea, Japan, Hong Kong, Russia and the European Union.[8]
