We invest €4.5 million to expand our manufacturing capacity of fiberglass-reinforced polypropylene compounds
We have expanded our Polidux plant with a new fiberglass line. These high-value-added and highly specialized materials are in high demand in technical sectors. The fiberglass-reinforced compounds that will be produced on the new line are specially designed for the automotive sector.
Today we have inaugurated a new production line at Polidux, our compounding plant located in Monzón, Huesca. This new line, intended for the manufacture of fiberglass-reinforced polypropylene compounds, will allow for an almost 30% increase in the production of these highly specialized, high-value-added materials, which are in high demand in technical sectors.
The new line has required an investment of 4.5 million euros, being the most relevant investment in the plant since 2006. The fiberglass-reinforced compounds that will be produced in the new line are specially designed for the automotive sector.
In this way, we consolidate our Monzón factory as a strategic plant for our growth in the market for differentiated products with high added value. At the same time, we reaffirm our commitment to differentiation and the circular economy with the recent obtaining of the UNE-EN 15343 certification also in this factory. This standard certifies the traceability and content of recycled material in the polypropylene compounds that we market under the Repsol Reciclex® brand, with up to 80% recycled material.
