History

More than 50 years of experience working side by side with our customers allow us to excel ourselves. Our output is based on closeness to our client as well as guaranteeing fast responsiveness.

It was in 1960 when Francisco Sánchez founded the pipeline, excavation and demolition business, along with the acquisition of the first excavator and the beginning of a development and expansion project.
Ten years after, new investments in logistics and machinery and another expansion took place in 1970. Besides, a business development project was well underway.
In 1980, the first public contract of waste management was agreed, considering flexibility as the key in our service. 7 workers / ~ 300K €.
1990 was the year when the aims were directed towards industrial waste collection from the private sector, commencing our sales development through the diversification of the portfolio regarding services and customers.
Then, the process of acquisition and creation of new divisions started in year 2000, with development of complementary activities. It was also around this time when the geographic expansion around Spain was a reality.
Later on, in 2015 the big territorial expansion and business development activities focused on global waste management. Material Specialization, Zero Waste management and Circular Economy are fundamental areas.
Last but not least, 2017 was the time when a new industrial facility in the Port of Barcelona for MARPOL was created, where industrial waste management and treatment processes were performed. This required an investment of +15M€, which allowed the creation of +30 direct jobs. All the efforts granted us technological leadership in the sector.

Quality services

ZEROWASTE: New way of understanding, managing and treating waste. It is after the goal of minimizing waste to disposal in order to redesign life cycles of resources, so all products can be reusable (Circular Economy).

We are talking about something beyond the process, much more than just recovery and recycling. This is innovation in waste management, which allows to minimize the impact of waste on the environment. If there is a solution to avoid disposal, we study, develop and implement it.

Our Commitment is to offer the best treatment and recycling solution for any type of waste generated.

REDUCE, REUSE and RECYCLE: this philosophy enables the possibility of recovering recyclable materials, applying value to them and, eventually, preparing them for subsequent recycling. Furthermore, the seal of guarantee can be found in all our processes.

As you can see, we gladly take care of our customers and the environment, being all the activities of the group run by the ZeroWaste work philosophy, since its premises are based on innovation, recycling and recovery in the services.
