R&D&I
Technical Assistance
Our teams are a young, multidisciplinary and multinational group, made up of professionals from different areas with extensive experience in the ceramic sectors.
We believe in proximity to the customer: proximity brings trust, achieves faster and more effective solutions and ultimately reduces costs.
R&D&I
Our R&D&I efforts follow 3 lines of action:
Knowledge and classification of existing reserves.
It is a necessary condition in all research work to start from sufficiently consistent premises that give a given project guarantees of longevity and continuity in its results.
Perhaps this simple idea is inherited from our mining beginnings. There is no lasting mine if it is not extracted with the idea of maximizing its reserves.
Design of mineral products that adapt to market demands.
Obtaining raw materials. Compositions of mineral mixtures that adapt to any type of industrial process.
Search for new options or trends in terms of processing.
Euroarce is synonymous of a complete process, from materials still to be extracted from its reserves, to elaborated and complex manufacturing products that allow the final shaping and decorating of a ceramic piece.
Some of its most relevant milestones:
1989. Creation of Euroarce, European Clay Company.
1991. Installation of the clay mixing and washing plant in Ariño (Teruel).
1994. Acquisition of Compañía Minera del Río Pirón in Navas de Oro (Segovia).
1995. Installation of the atomization and micronizing plant in Onda (Castellón, Spain).
1996. Acquisition of Penta S.r.l. in Civita Castellana (Italy)
1997. Installation of the clay treatment plant in Gargallo, with successive expansions in 1998, 2014, 2016 and 2019.
1998. Acquisition of Coloresmalt S.A. in Alcora (Castellón).
2002. Acquisition of ABSA in Tamame de Sayago (Zamora) and installation of a new clay washing plant.
2003. Ariño: Expansion of the clay mixing plant and installation of the clay calcination kiln.
2007. Onda: First expansion of the pasta preparation and milling facilities. Successive expansions in 2009, 2015, 2018 and 2020.
2009. Acquisition of the Sica field and plant in Arguisuelas (Cuenca), expanded in 2010, 2015 and 2017 with new assets and companies in the area.
2016. Acquisition of the assets of Imerys Ceramics in Spain and incorporation of Euroarce Ceramics in Onda (Castellón).
2017. Incorporation of Euroarce Minería, which unifies part of Euroarce’s mining companies.
2019. Incorporation of Euroarce Caolines and acquisition of the Montecastello and Cervo mining concessions, expanded in 2020 with the acquisition of the Quinta and Begoña mining concessions.
2021. Acquisition of a new atomization plant in Cabanes (Castellón).
2023. Constitution of Euroarce Galicia
History
In 1989, and within a global process of industrial diversification of SAMCA(link is external), we began to study the possibilities of Teruel clays in the world of ceramics, and more specifically, in the neighboring tile sector of Castellón.
The rest is our small history, which has allowed us to establish ourselves progressively and solidly in the ceramic markets, to become Spanish leaders in ceramic raw materials, and one of the obligatory references at European level.
Respect for the environment
Giving value to the land
We believe that it is important to respect the environment, understood in its entirety: the safety of our own workers, the coexistence and contribution of wealth to the populations where we work and the responsible planning of our deposits, ending in complete restorations in accordance with the natural environment. The environmental cost understood as an investment in the future, not only for the areas where we work but also for our own continuity as miners, since the responsible authorities are aware of our previous experiences and do not hesitate to grant us new mining permits.
