Nalonchem (Quimica del Nalon) hosted a visit by a group of students from the Río Trubia Secondary School at its coal chemicals plant, located in the town of Oviedo.
The visit allowed the high school students to learn about the industrial processes carried out at the Trubia plant, which began operations in 1943.
Furthermore, the visit aims to collaborate with the students of IES Río Trubia and their school community -parents, family members, and educators- in identifying STEM career paths, to effectively guide educational trajectories toward both vocational training and university.
Química del Nalón -one of the industrial companies with a long-standing presence in the Trubia Valley- operates an innovative facility designed to address the challenges of a global and highly competitive business, 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.
Química del Nalón has been committed to Trubia and the local community for over 80 years. The company carries the Trubia name around the world, serving as a strategic supplier of innovative products for the manufacture of goods that improve our lives in the aluminum and concrete industries, among many others.
