The Group operates two factories in this sector of activity, one located in Setúbal (PT) and the other in Réus (ES).

This business incorporates the packaging and distribution in Portugal of chemical products to industry in general and to the construction, car manufacturing, paper, environment and chemical sectors in particular. This activity is pursued through Sapec Quimica , which operates industrial and logistical platforms in Setúbal, covering Southern Portugal and in Ovar, covering Northern Portugal. Within the framework of a joint venture with the Spanish Group URBASER, Sapec has set up the company CITRI (integrated industrial non-hazardous wastetreatment centre) in Setúbal, specializing in recycling and disposal of non-toxic industrial waste. New projects in this expanding sector are being considered, including the hazardous waste sector.

In Portugal, then in Spain, the Group developed a significant business importing and distributing raw materials for animal feeds such as cereals, cereal substitutes and proteins. In Portugal, the Group operates through its subsidiary Seteia. In Spain, the subsidiary Interpec Ibérica operates from the logistical bases of Tarragona, Cartagena and Cádiz, thus covering three quarters of the Iberian animal nutrition market. In addition, in Tarragona and in Cádiz, Interpec has its own port and logistical installation gaining a better control of the entire distribution chain, from purchasing from foreign origins through to the end customer.

These companies have gained a firm foothold in both countries, particularly in Spain, where Interpec Ibérica is one of the main players on the market.

The business, witch has evolved significantly over the past few years, focuses today on two activities: on the one hand, in Setúbal the port handling of bulk products ( STP - Sapec Terminais Portuários ) and cars ( Navipor ) and on the other hand the development of a network of multimodal land-based terminals in Portugal ( SPC - Serviço Português de Contentores) devoted to warehousing, consolidation/deconsolidation and distribution of merchandise and packaging (containers) for various customers, in particular in the maritime and industrial sectors.
