COMPANY

We are a family business that, after 65 years since its establishment, we continue to be concerned about the safety of our workers and to offer the best service to our customers.

GRUCONSA (Grupo Consist S.A.) is a fourth generation family business, which has turned 65 years old. The management is still in the hands of two members of the family, segmented, on the one hand, the commercial area and on the other, the production area.

We manufacture packagings distributed throughout the world, with a turnover of 54 million euros, of which 40% comes from exports.

Our business model is the custom manufacturing of all types of flexible packaging on demand.

In the beginning, since 1957, our paper sacks were manufactured mainly for the construction industry: cement and plaster. Currently our range of products is very wide and versatile, since it covers all industries that need flexible packaging. It is a market, that of flexible packaging, which is constantly growing and transforming, currently focused on developing new materials that are more environmentally sustainable and contribute to promoting the circular economy.

Internally, we have a product R&D department prepared to take on these new technological advances.

Our main raw materials are paper and polyethylene pellets. Since always, the waste paper and granules have been subjected to the recycling process. The paper, returned to the manufacturing suppliers, to be converted back into paper. Polyethylene is managed internally. For this, we have a recycling plant to reconvert it and use it in the manufacture of garbage bags. We are careful with the environment.

In 2022 we have installed photovoltaic panels with a power of 1,500 kWp for self-consumption, thus minimizing our electricity consumption.

Currently, our facilities have more than 47,000 m² of surface area and 37,000 m² of facilities. We are a staff of more than 250 people and we have the best machinery worldwide in terms of quality and productive capacity.

AIM

Our purpose is to contribute to the well-being of people and customer service, with excellent quality and orientation towards continuous improvement.

VIEW

In the challenge of positively influencing our environmental and social environment, we have two key factors:

Technological innovation that helps transform the flexible packaging industry to develop solutions that are friendlier and more respectful of the environment, and

the people, that's the reason why the business culture maintains the family spirit of our origins and has allowed us to grow and see it grow. We want to keep doing it.
