History
Using the bakery knowledge of Mr. Jose A. Riba, it was decided to place a bread bakery as an integral part of the supermarkets. This development was a success due to the high quality of products manufactured there. Since then, Riba Smith was identified with the term quality and made it his central focus.
In 1976 the bakery located in the supermarket grew so much that it was time to create a separate facility to manufacture all the products, therefore, IARSA was established. IARSA not only bakes products for Riba Smith but also sells its products to other markets and restaurants.
