Description: VIS Viscofan

Viscofan, S.A. is a Spain-based global manufacturer of casings used primarily by the processed meat industry. Founded in 1975 and headquartered in Tajonar, the company produces and distributes a diversified range of products including cellulose, collagen, fibrous, plastic, and specialized functional solutions (such as nutra-pharma and medical casings), operating across Europe, the Americas, the Middle East, Africa, and Asia-Pacific. It also markets proprietary brands like TITANIUM LINE (fibrous casings) and Total Control Net (collagen film covers).

Viscofan holds a leading position in the global casings market and benefits from its vertically integrated production model, supplying both food processors and non-food sectors such as nutraceuticals. Demand for its products is closely linked to worldwide consumption of processed and pre-cooked meat products.
