Du 27 mai au 4 juin, les traditionnelles Fêtes en l’honneur de la Vierge de Linarejos Couronnée, la Sainte Patronne de Linares, Jaén, ont eu lieu.

Au cours de ces jours, plusieurs événements ont eu lieu, notamment la traditionnelle Tombola de Poupées organisée par la Confrérie de Notre-Dame de Linarejos, dans le but de collecter des fonds pour l’entretien du Sanctuaire et pour aider les personnes en situation de vulnérabilité dans la ville.

Grâce à Patricio Lupiañez Cruz, Président de la Confrérie, ALUCOAT a fait un généreux don de plusieurs rouleaux d’aluminium qui ont été remis lors de la Tombola en tant que prix.

Par le biais de cette action, ALUCOAT  souligne l’importance de la collaboration entre le secteur des entreprises et les organisations caritatives pour avoir un impact positif sur la communauté. De plus, elle encourage d’autres entreprises à se joindre à la lutte contre l’inégalité et la pauvreté.

Le recyclage dans le secteur industriel joue un rôle clé dans la protection de l’environnement, la conservation des ressources naturelles et la réduction des gaz polluants. Les entreprises industrielles peuvent devenir des acteurs du changement en adoptant des pratiques de recyclage efficaces.

ALUCOAT, spécialiste du revêtement de bobines d’aluminium, est soumis à une politique de gestion environnementale stricte basée sur les 3R : réduire, réutiliser et recycler toutes les ressources et tous les déchets générés au cours du processus de production. La quasi-totalité (plus de 90 %) du peu de déchets générés est envoyée à des gestionnaires de déchets spécialisés en vue de leur traitement et de leur recyclage ultérieur.

L’entreprise a développé une politique axée sur la promotion de l’aluminium vert et collabore avec ses fournisseurs pour que la majeure partie de l’aluminium qu’elle utilise soit de l’aluminium recyclé. L’un des avantages de l’utilisation de l’aluminium recyclé est l’économie d’énergie qu’il permet de réaliser. La production d’un kilo d’aluminium recyclé nécessite 95 % d’énergie en moins que la production d’un kilo d’aluminium primaire. Cela signifie également une réduction très importante des émissions de CO2 dans l’atmosphère, avec une économie d’environ 9 tonnes de CO2 pour chaque tonne d’aluminium recyclé. En outre, l’aluminium peut être recyclé un nombre infini de fois, sans perdre aucune de ses propriétés au cours du processus, ce qui favorise l’économie circulaire.

ALUCOAT, promouvoir le recyclage comme un engagement pour l’environnement.

On 8 and 9 May, the 20th Anniversary of ADEFAM, Association for the Development of Family Businesses in Madrid, was celebrated.

The first day was attended by more than 200 people, among them Clemente González Soler, President of ALIBERICO, who enjoyed a private guided tour and dinner at the Prado Museum with Javier Fernández-Lasquetty, Minister of Economy, Finance and Employment of the Community of Madrid.

The following day, the 20th Anniversary Ceremony of the Family Business Association of Madrid, ADEFAM, took place at the Santander Auditorium. An emotive event that highlighted the Association’s achievements and activity over the last twenty years.

Victoria Plantalamor, current president of ADEFAM, led the opening ceremony, which was also attended by the mayor of Madrid, José Luis Martínez Almeida and the president of IEF, Andrés Sendagorta.

The conference, hosted by Ana Samboal, the prestigious journalist who is already a regular at this type of event, interviewed, among other personalities, Pelayo de la Mata, Marqués de Vargas and president of Grupo Vinícola Marqués de Vargas.

ADEFAM also wished to commemorate the former presidents of the Association for the fundamental and strategic role they have played for the Association and, in particular, recognised and highlighted the work of Clemente González Soler as president of the Association for more than 5 years.

The closing ceremony was led by Victoria Plantalamor and Javier Fernández-Lasquetty, in which they gave an interesting reflection on the current situation and the economic outlook for the region.

During her visit she was accompanied by the president of Iberfoil and Grupo Aliberico, Clemente González Soler, and other regional and local authorities.

The company is developing the Iberfoil Integra project, a new plant that will produce 30,000 tons of green aluminium coils per year and will be a benchmark for the Circular Economy in Spain.

The Minister of Science and Innovation, Diana Morant, visited the Iberfoil factory in Sabiñánigo (Huesca), the only aluminium thin foil rolling company in Spain, specialised in very thin thicknesses, for the packaging, pharmaceutical and food sectors.

During her visit to Iberfoil‘s facilities, the minister was accompanied by the president of Iberfoil Aragon and president of Grupo Aliberico, Clemente González Soler, along with the mayoress of Sabiñánigo, Berta Fernández; the president of the Huesca Provincial Council, Miguel Gracia; the government delegate in Aragón, Rosa María Serrano; the councillor for Citizenship and Social Rights of the Government of Aragón, María Victoria Brito, and other local authorities.

Grupo Aliberico acquired in 2014 the Iberfoil factory in Sabiñánigo, and made significant investments between 2017 and 2019 to equip it with a new cold rolling mill.

A new project is currently in progress, called Iberfoil Integra, which consists of a new production plant on an adjacent 45,000 square metre site. This building will be equipped with five aluminium recycling furnaces and two continuous casting lines that will produce 30,000 tons of green aluminium coils per year.

Iberfoil Integra will start test production in September 2023 and will be an industrial benchmark in the field of the Circular Economy in Spain, as it will recycle all the scrap generated by the 17 plants of the Grupo Aliberico in Spain, in addition to those from its own customers.  This will enable it to achieve its autonomy in its raw material supply sources.

Within the Circular Economy investment criterion, Iberfoil has obtained the best score thanks to its Iberfoil Integra project, an essential and strategic initiative for Spain.

Iberfoil Aragon, has been recognised by the Government of Aragon with the Aragon Circular Seal, which guarantees that the company complies with the standards specified by the regional administration in its Order EPE18/2022 of 21 January on Sustainability and Circular Economy.

For the award of this seal, the technicians of the Government of Aragon have assessed Iberfoil‘s degree of implementation of the Circular Economy principles in its management, its impact along the value chain and its contribution to achieving a more sustainable, decarbonised, resource-efficient and competitive economy.

Likewise, among other aspects of Iberfoil‘s activity, the eco-design of its products, the exhaustive analysis of their life cycle and the current certifications related to circularity of the company have been highlighted.

Specifically in the evaluation criterion relating to investment in the Circular Economy, Iberfoil has obtained the best score thanks to its Iberfoil Integra project, an initiative that is essential and strategic for Spain due to its circularity, as it will melt aluminium scrap to convert it into new green aluminium.

The Aragon Circular project was born in 2020 as a sign of the Government of Aragon‘s commitment to the circular economy. Its objective is to create a political, economic and social framework that allows Aragon to transition towards an innovative circular economy, generating quality employment and structuring the territory.

The award ceremony of the Aragon Circular Seal, chaired by Javier Lambán, President of the Government of Aragon, and with the presence of Marta Gastón, Minister of Economy, Planning and Employment of the Government of Aragon, took place on January 31st, in the Sala de la Corona of the Pignatelli Building, headquarters of the regional government. During this event, 72 companies of the region were recognised with this distinction.
