Operating in the chemical industry for over 150 years, Bondalti occupies a very
competitive position in this market, focusing on the Chloralkalis (PCA) productive
sectors in the inorganic chemicals segment, and Aniline and by-products (PAD) in the
organic chemicals segment. In these value chains, Bondalti is the largest Iberian
producer of chlorine and hypochlorite, in terms of production capacity, and it is the
European leader in sales of aniline and mononitrobenzene (MNB), as well as one of the
world's leading non-integrated aniline producers.
Bondalti has two industrial units where its chemical products are produced, in Estarreja
and Torrelavega. Bondalti is a national reference in the hydrogen value chain, as it is
the second largest Iberian producer of H2 without direct use of natural gas.
Sustainable development implies acting on the needs of the present without compromising future generations, ensuring a balance between economic growth, and caring for the environment and social well being. Bondalti is focused on this purpose, adapting strategy and operations to the needs of current and future societies.
Trends in the Chemical Industry
Bondalti closely follows the main trends in the economy in general, and the global
chemical industry, as well as the implications of such trends in its business.
Another central theme that will mark the economy and society in general in the
foreseeable future will be environmental and social sustainability policies, and the
adoption of these policies will determine the success or failure of companies in all
sectors, including the chemical sector. Of note was the COP26 event, which took place in
Glasgow in November, where several countries committed to taking concrete measures to
address climate change, including substantial cuts in methane emissions.
Notwithstanding the various commitments made, CO2 emissions to the atmosphere
increased substantially in 2021 as the global economy returned to growth following a
difficult 2020, which had nevertheless recorded lower carbon emissions.
Bondalti is also following new technological trends closely, as they are levers to
achieve its sustainability, efficacy, and efficiency goals. Themes such as automation,
Industry 4.0, big data and Artificial Intelligence, Internet of Things and other
concepts are being introduced in the Chemical Industry and Bondalti in particular, and
will permit operating in new, more efficient, and innovative ways.
