IBERFOIL, specialist manufacturer of aluminium for pharmacy and food

/in /by

The aluminium sector includes countless uses, among which, for its daily use, those related to the pharmacy and food sector stand out.

The properties that make this raw material the best option for its use in both the pharmaceutical and food industries are that thanks to its high resistance to high temperatures, humidity and corrosion, it allows the maintenance of medicines in perfect condition, preserving them from any external agent that could interfere with the chemical composition of the drug.

Similarly, they are ideal for preserving food, thanks to their resistance to light, cold and heat. Aluminium containers are the ones that ensure the longest expiry date for preserved food. On the other hand, it is a raw material that does not emit odors or chemicals to the food, so it does not interfere with the flavor of the final product.

On the other hand, aluminium is one of the few raw materials in nature that can be recycled infinitely without losing any of its properties during the process. This makes aluminum a sure bet for success, its circular economy places it at the top of profitability and efficiency.

IBERFOIL has the latest technology machinery that allows it to adapt its products to the unique and specific needs of each client.

Working side by side in the food and pharmaceutical industries, IBERFOIL is one of the main suppliers of the sector.

IBERFOIL is committed to industry and innovation (SDG 9).

The initiative is part of the industrial group’s global plan to reinforce sustainable development objectives within the framework of its CSR policy.
Aliberico, the leading Spanish and European family group manufacturing aluminium semi-finished products, has decided to sponsor the Olympia Las Rozas Women’s Football Elementary Sports Club.

The agreement, signed this morning at the headquarters of Grupo Aliberico, between its president, Clemente González Soler, and the president of Olympia Las Rozas Football Club, Sonia Soria Colino, provides a framework for collaboration that will extend into this season.

With this decision, Grupo Aliberico continues with its global plan to reinforce the objectives of sustainable development within the framework of its Corporate Social Responsibility policy. Olympia Las Rozas Football Club is a non-profit organisation that was founded in 2015 with the unique objective of promoting women’s sport, and in particular football, at all levels and ages, from children to adults.

Aliberico, as an industrial company that manufactures aluminum solutions, has as its misión, the care of people and the environment, and promotes within its organization the values of diversity, equal opportunities and gender. In this sense, it is worth mentioning that 48% of its management team is made up of women.

The two organizations share an identical culture around values such as teamwork, willpower, passion and enthusiasm for achieving new goals.

Aliberico was born as a company in 1986, and in all this time it has managed to position itself as a leading company in the world in the different sectors in which it operates. Among the keys that explain its success is its commitment to a great team and a large amount of effort and passion. Based on these values and experience, it aims to help and collaborate so that many young players can achieve their dreams and grow as sportswomen.

“We come from very different worlds, Aliberico from the metal sector and Olympia from sport, but we share the same values and, most importantly, we believe, care and bet on people,” said Clemente González Soler during the signing of the agreement.

The president of the Olympia Las Rozas Football Club, Sonia Soria Colino, said: “Having an allied like Grupo Aliberico is wonderful because we share many of the values of the sport. It is also a modern, transgressive company that believes in equal opportunities. At CFF Olympia we are very fortunate to have this partner so that we can continue to make progress and achieve our dreams”.

ALIBERICO FOOD PACKAGING, COMMITTED TO THE SDG

/in /by
GRUPO ALIBERICO is characterized by its permanent commitment to environmental sustainability, relying on waste management and recycling as the fundamental pillars of its operation. ALIBERICO FOOD PACKAGING is a clear example of the forefront of sustainable development. Its commitment to climate action (Sustainable Development Goal: SDG13) goes beyond regulatory standards.

Its policy is based on “ZERO WASTE”: nothing is missed; everything is transformed and returns into the circular economy.

Aluminium, as a raw material, has significant advantages over other materials. Its most significant difference is that it doesn’t matter how many times you have use it or how many has  it been reused, it does not lose any of its properties or quality in the recycling process.

As a fact to be taken into account, more than 75% of the aluminium produced in the last 100 years, is still using today.

At ALIBERICO FOOD PACKAGING all the aluminium that comes into the factory is from a first fusion. Most of it is used to manufacture various containers, adapted to our customers’ needs.

Once the aluminium is used, the surplus is collected by suction, pressed and transformed into packages. Finally, this waste is melted and reused for other sectors in the aluminum market with the purpose of being regained.

Recycling one ton of aluminium saves 4 tons of Bauxite, which means a reduction of 9 tons of CO2 emissions.

ALIBERICO FOOD PACKAGING, held by the highest quality standards, is at the forefront of technology, process quality and circular economy.

ALIBERICO FOOD PACKAGING is committed to responsible production and consumption (SDG12).

ALUCOIL, A+ on new requirements

/in /by

A new regulation modifying Technical Building Code took effect last December 28th .

This standard intends to promote even greater environmental sustainability by reaching almost 0 energy consumption on buildings. Tightly linked to this point, safety in fire situations is highly important, more specifically façade materials’ limitation on fire reaction depending on building height.

Modifications affect fire reaction requirements of ventilated façade and insulation depending on building height.

 

(*)  Ventilated cavity partitioning every 10m or 3 levels. Barriers can be intumescent (closing only in case of fire) but at least E30.

(1) If public accessible. If not, immediately upper level requirement will apply.

larson®, larcore® panels and termolac® coatings widely exceed this standard requirements. Panel’s classification A2 and B exceed all specifications mentioned on this standard, so regardless building’s height, our panels are a perfect solution. TOP materials to face new challenges of future architecture.

ALUCOIL, always committed with industry, innovation and environment, keeps supporting sustainable cities and communities.
