Nalonchem (Quimica del Nalon) welcomed a group of professors and students from the University of Oviedo´s Chemical Engineering program to its Trubia plant.
During the visit, attendees learned that Nalonchem is an Asturian family-owned company that began operations in 1943 in Trubia, where it continues to distill tar, generating 130 highly skilled direct jobs, guided by strong corporate values.
The company is committed to circular chemistry, and its passion is growth, adapting its traditional activities and developing new businesses through a three-pronged strategy: digital transformation, organic growth, and diversification and sustainability.
Nalonchem, one of the industrial companies with a long-standing presence in the Trubia Valley, operates an innovative facility designed to meet the challenges of a global and highly competitive market, with an annual production capacity of 300,000 metric tons of tar distillation.
The Trubia plant operates its own tar distillation processes for the manufacture of high-performance products, making it one of the world’s leading producers of pitch—with low ash and volatile content—naphthalene—of varying degrees of purity, including the purest in the world—and oils, notably anthracene oil.
Nalonchem is an Asturian company that employs 230 people and works with 150 contractors at its plants in Trubia (Oviedo) and Ciaño (Langreo), as well as at its headquarters in Oviedo.
Between its two plants, the company exports more than 60% of its sales to the world’s leading companies in its sector, in over 30 countries, using its own fleet and logistics centers in San Juan de Nieva (Avilés), Szczecin (Poland), and Galati (Romania).
