GROUP
ARMANDO ALVAREZ
Today, Armando Alvarez Group is a reference in the plastics sector in Europe and in the entire world, with presence in more than 118 countries and a turnover of almost 1,000 million euros.
Since the beginnings in 1954, the development of our business project has been strongly aligned with sustainability, thanks to the work of a committed team of people who are aware of the importance of shared corporate responsibility in our society.
The challenges the world faces today are global and interconnected. However, no single company or organization can meet these challenges alone. That is why we have the firm intention of looking to the future through cooperation with customers, suppliers, consumers, institutions, and diverse organizations so that together we can reach new milestones of innovation, social impact, and sustainable and scalable levels of well-being.
WHERE
IT ALL BEGAN
To find our origins we have to go back to the early 60s, to a small carpentry workshop found in Cantabria. That workshop was the epicenter of everything that followed. Although, honestly, there was something more, the vision of an entrepreneur who had the conviction of creating around him a team of people committed to his vision in the packaging sector.
Therefore, just a few years later, in 1964, we created Aspla, the first company of the Group dedicated to the transformation of plastic materials. Since then, we have been incorporating new companies within Spain and abroad, but always keeping intact the differential keys to our success.
WHAT
DRIVES US?
People
We are fully aware that there are people behind every business relationship, every production line, and every video conference. Because of this, we want to keep a high degree of commitment and respect for people and their environment, considering, in particular, the challenges that lie ahead in a future where technology plays an increasingly important role.
To this end, we follow a Code of Conduct and Good Governance, promoting equal opportunities, as well as cooperative actions from an alternative and solidarity-based economic model. We also promote stable labor relations with our employees, that is shown in the fact that a large majority of our workers have permanent employment contracts.
Today, we are a group formed by more than 2,400 people who strive every day to create value with an alternative model, progressively more integrated into circular economy. This value is for our customers, to help them grow, boost their businesses, and improve their competitiveness.
But the progress of each of our companies is reflected not only in the improvement of business figures, but also in the consistent quality of the solutions we offer and, in our goal to lead a sustainable development committed to protecting the environment.
