[2] It is a global producer with the capacity to manufacture the four main technologies available in the artificial casings market (cellulose, collagen, fibrous and plastic).

The company's solid growth led it to taking the next natural step into starting its share trading in the Madrid Stock Exchange General Index in December 1986.

As part of its growth strategy, in 1988, Viscofan acquired the food group IAN (Industrias Alimentarias de Navarra), which enabled it to gain momentum in the industry at a national level.

In the same year, Viscofan Bioengineering (VBE)[4] was established, it was meant to be a business unit that combined biosciences and engineering to supply collagen-based products for use in repairing damaged tissues in patients.

In 2015, coinciding with its 40th anniversary, Viscofan sold the IAN Group to concentrate fully on the casing business.
