TIMELINE

Concentrol is a family-owned company based in Riudellots de la Selva (Girona) with over 80 years of experience in the chemical sector. In 1941, Jaume Guardia Jordà founded Tints Concentrol in Les Planes d’Hostoles to produce products for the domestic sector. In 1968, his son, Josep Guardia Rodà, a visionary, shifted the focus towards the production of chemical specialties for the manufacturing industry. This strategic move led to the need to relocate to the current location a few years later, ensuring the necessary space for the consistent year-over-year growth. With the transition in 2013, the Guardia Pont brothers assumed leadership, carrying forward the spirit and philosophy established by their father.

In recent years, Concentrol has continued to consolidate its leadership and global commitment, marked by the opening of new subsidiaries in the U.S. and China, facility expansions, and the development of a new strategic plan centered around its core purpose and values. The company has received recognition for its internationalization and digitalization strategy (Catalonia Trade Leaders 2022), corporate social responsibility (Respon.cat 2023), and disruptive innovation (Catalonia Exponential Leaders).

The essence of today’s Concentrol lies in well-executed work, looking towards the future to successfully address new challenges in the global market.

We ensure the quality of our products not just with words but with tangible actions. We proudly declare our commitment to the highest quality in all our products and production processes, backed by certifications that ensure compliance with the standards set by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO).

Implementing this policy since our inception bore fruit with the achievement of ISO 9002:94 in 1997, a milestone where we strengthened management control. The expansion of our system’s scope in 2003 led to ISO 9001, defining various requirements for a robust Quality Management System (QMS) across different areas of the company.

Since 2007, we have also held the ISO 14001 certificate, ensuring compliance with an effective Environmental Management System (EMS).

Now, in 2024 we have reached the renewal for both ISO certifications including whole design, commercial and logistic activities in Riudellots headquearters, USA and Wuxi subsidiaries.
