KNOWLEDGE AND INNOVATION FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS

Making a change to our consumption habits is no longer optional, it is essential. And it is our responsibility as an industry to respond and make it possible.

At La Farga we have spent over 215 years generating knowledge about copper and developing technologies to process and transform it.

We work from a global perspective of innovation, it is part of our DNA, and that is why we invest to continue growing and evolving, taking the risks associated with the commitment to research and experimentation (learning by doing). We firmly believe in being able to generate value continuously thanks to the improved efficiency of our industrial and management processes, as well as collaboration with technological centres, universities and clients.

The path towards the circular economy

La Farga’s advanced technologies

investing to grow and evolve

There are two matters that drive La Farga: one is the human group and the other is the technological project based on circularity, sustainability and innovation. This binomial positions the company as a forward-looking company with great prospects.

We work with a long-term vision, ensuring the viability of our project. We implement knowledge and innovation in the form of quality technologies and solutions to maximise efficiency and impact.

We strive each day to ensure that our processes, practices and initiatives are consistent with our desire to promote a circular economy. We produce while ensuring circularity through the application of technology that we have developed, which makes our manufacturing process unique.

We are able to offer the best product in terms of quality with one of the lowest environmental impacts on the market and this is possible thanks to the fact that we integrate the principles of the circular economy as a strategic element in all of our operations, minimising the use of virgin materials, extending the useful life of our solutions and maximising the reuse of the copper that has come to the end of its lifecycle.

We export our technologies all over the world with over 34 projects in different countries. Our patents and unique processes have also been implemented through our joint venture SDI LA FARGA, in Indiana (USA).

SUSTAINABLE COPPER TUBE SOLUTIONS FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS

La Farga produces and distributes a wide range of copper tubes that are certified and designed to offer maximum quality and efficiency.

Copper tube is the material par excellence, as it ensures maximum thermal conductivity and exponentially reduces greenhouse gas emissions thus contributing to the decarbonisation of buildings.

It is also a key element for promoting the circular economy in our society, thanks to its endless recycling capacity without losing its initial natural properties. A major difference compared to other materials.

It is used very widely and is thus found in different applications such as the piping of sanitary water, as, heating, solar thermal energy, air-conditioning, climate control, refrigeration, medicinal gases and industrial uses.
