stories

They’re a part of us and we’d like to share them.

It all began more than 40 years ago with a pioneer decision: to use left-over chemicals to make new environmentally-friendly products.
Esteban Azanza
Founder of Acideka

History

Always On the Cutting Edge of Technology and Products.

Acideka was born with a forward-thinking vision: to re-use surplus products to make something new with environmental respect as the basis for our business growth.

That led to new systems, product designs and sales strategies as the levers for opening up to the most demanding international market.

 

First Steps: Setting up the Logistics.

  • 1967. The foundation of Acideka with its main business based on the distribution of hydrochloric acid.

  • 1979. The development of the logistics system began and the first storage facilities started operating. The product catalogue was expanded: caustic soda, hypochlorite, sulfuric acid, nitric acid, carbonate, etc.

Technological Advances as a Springboard to the International Market

  • 1982. The first Acideka production plant based on the production of iron chloride. Our scope of action was expanded to research, our own designs and diversity in our manufacturing processes, etc.
  • 1999. The inauguration of the new port facilities in Bilbao with the latest technological advances to date and more than 30 storage tanks made it possible to unload large tonnage ships. The geographic situation led our opening up to the international market.

The Expansion and Consolidation of a Sustainability-Based Model.

  •  2006-2010. The port facilities at the super port of Bilbao were expanded. Our storage capacity increased as did the range of products imported and exported for distribution throughout Spain, France and Portugal.
