Eurofragance invests €10 million to expand its Rubi factory
The plant will triple its production capacity
BarcelonaThe multinational fragrance company Eurofragance inaugurated this Wednesday the new facilities of its production center in Rubí (Vallès Occidental), which it has expanded with an investment of ten million euros, according to the company in a statement.
The plant expansion and improvement project includes the construction of new facilities and the purchase of new dosing robots that will triple the factory's production capacity. The project has included "a remodeling of the offices and laboratories" and an increase of 2,000 square meters of the production plant, according to Clara Mena, the group's director of operations.
Thus, the Rubí center will now handle approximately half of the company's annual production worldwide and "meet the growing demand" of the European, African, Turkish, and Middle Eastern markets, according to the statement. "The plant expansion also allows Eurofragance to expand product categories beyond the final perfumery, which require high production volumes," he adds.
In this sense, the investment has automated 80% of operations. Likewise, photovoltaic panels have also been installed, generating a third of the facilities' energy needs, according to Santiago Giménez, global engineering director of Eurofragance plants.
The inauguration of the new facilities this Wednesday was led by the Regional Minister of Business and Employment, Miquel Sàmper. The expansion of the center coincides with the 35th anniversary of the company, founded in Rubí in 1990. Currently, the multinational has around 550 employees in several countries and closed 2024 with a turnover of 180 million euros.
