25 years of experience
"Since childhood, I grew up with an unconditional passion for cooking, ingredients, and traditional cooking techniques, where every step, delicately and over time, led to the exquisite flavors of each dish. In 1998, I decided to found GUMEN to offer local, transparent, and honest cuisine with the same passion, thinking and deciding as if each dish were for my own children."
Local catering since 1998
The year Internet Explorer 4.0 was launched, GUMEN was born with a clear objective: to improve school meals.

Currently led by the second generation and positioned as one of the catering companies with the highest quality in its dishes for schools and businesses, it follows the same guidelines and enthusiasm with which it was founded by Jose Luis Gutiérrez, with the greatest expression of reinvention that a second generation can carry out. Currently, GUMEN specializes in catering for companies and schools, with facilities of more than 1,000 m2, offering the market the possibility of a company with high production capacity but traditional and local.
