Driving the sustainable transformation of the chemical industry at Expoquimia 2026

From June 2 to 5, we took part in Expoquimia 2026 in Barcelona, where we showcased our latest solutions in advanced materials and circular economy, reinforcing our commitment to a more sustainable, innovative, and competitive industry.

We were present at Expoquimia 2026, the leading international event for the chemical and process industries, participating in the Smart Chemistry: Green Industry Deal space, promoted by the Spanish Chemical Industry Federation (Feique) and established as one of the main reference forums for the sector in Spain.

Over four days, this space brought together companies, institutions, and experts to address the challenges and opportunities facing the chemical industry in areas such as sustainability, innovation, and competitiveness. The program included conferences, panel discussions, and networking sessions aimed at showcasing industrial solutions and key technologies to advance towards a more efficient and low-carbon model.
