Suko Canarias has opened this Monday in the Ajimar Industrial Park, in Jinámar, a large Asian food centre that combines direct sales and professional supply, with a workforce predominantly made up of Canary Island workers.
The company Suko Canarias launched this Monday in the Ajimar Industrial Park, in Jinámar (Telde), a large establishment specialising in Asian food that aims to become a reference point for both private customers and the professional restaurant and distribution channels. The opening, just before noon, featured a festive atmosphere with performances of traditional Asian music and dances.
The inaugural event brought together authorities such as the mayor of Telde, Juan Antonio Peña; the councillor for Local Development, Nayra Navarro; and the president of the Cabildo of Lanzarote, Oswaldo Betancort, along with entrepreneurs, suppliers and customers from various parts of the Canary Islands and even the mainland. All of them wanted to accompany the company at the start of its operations.
Over 80% of the workforce is from the Canary Islands
One of the most notable aspects of the project is its impact on local employment. According to the company, more than 80% of the workforce is made up of Canary Island workers, a figure that reflects the company's commitment to creating job opportunities in the islands and contributing to the economic development of the municipality. The establishment not only sells to the public but also supplies restaurants, hotels and large retailers.
Suko Canarias' offer includes Asian products imported from various countries, as well as a selection of Canary Island products, with the aim of integrating local production into its catalogue. Customers can find everything from basic and fresh products to frozen goods, beverages, sauces, spices, sweets, and specialised items, all at competitive prices.
Telde, a strategic location for investment
During his speech, the mayor of Telde, Juan Antonio Peña, highlighted that the opening of Suko Canarias demonstrates that Telde remains an attractive municipality for investment. “Our strategic location, next to the capital of Gran Canaria and with excellent logistical connections, makes the city a privileged site for business development,” he stated. The mayor emphasised that initiatives like this strengthen the local economic fabric: “Every new company that decides to set up in Telde means more jobs, more economic activity, and new opportunities for our residents.”
For her part, the councillor for Local Development, Nayra Navarro, valued the impact of this establishment:
“The arrival of Suko Canarias is excellent news for Telde because it generates jobs, diversifies our commercial offer, and confirms that we continue to be an attractive destination for those who want to invest and develop new business projects. The City Council will continue to work to facilitate the establishment of initiatives that boost the local economy and create opportunities for our residents.”
The Ajimar Industrial Park adds a new operator
With this new establishment, the Ajimar Industrial Park adds a significant new operator, reinforcing Telde's role as a strategic point for distribution and commercial activity on the island. The arrival of Suko Canarias is part of the continuous business growth that the municipality has experienced in recent years, with new investments generating jobs and boosting the local economy. For the residents of Telde, this centre represents a new shopping option with varied products and competitive prices, as well as a direct job opportunity.
The company expects its activity to have a stimulating effect in the area, attracting customers from across the island and consolidating Telde as a commercial hub of reference in Gran Canaria. Interested parties can visit the establishment in the Ajimar Industrial Park during regular business hours and discover a wide range of Asian and international products.
