Grespania continues its constant growth with the expansion of a new production line at its factory for large format slabs in Moncofar, Castellón, involving an investment of around €25,000,000.
This increase in production capacity for sizes of up to 1620x3240 mm and thicknesses from 5.6 mm to 20 mm entails the expansion of the facilities for receiving and storing spray-dried powder; a new production line including a press, dryer, glazer and kiln; and a new line for mesh-mounting, selection, classification and packaging of the slabs.
This new production line has been designed to minimise the impact on the environment even further. In addition to the latest energy saving measures (inverters, heat recovery systems, etc.), a waste recovery plant will be installed on site, so that the waste generated can be reused in the plant itself without having to go through external waste management.
The project, scheduled for completion in early 2023, will mean a yearly increase in large-format production of 850,000m2 for the group. The aim is to accelerate the process of bringing products to market and further improve the service provided to customers, helping meet the requirements of the current plant in line with Industry 4.0 and to continue working on circular economy initiatives.
