40 ans de totale transparence

1980-2020. NUDEC a consacré quatre décennies à l’amélioration constante.

Depuis sa fondation en 1980, fruit de l’expérience consolidée d’Arrahona et plus tard de NUDESA, NUDEC a renforcé sa position dans le marché, d’année en année, grâce à l’effort de son personnel. La qualité et le service que nous offrons ont positionné NUDEC entre les principaux producteurs de plaques en plastique à niveau européen. Notre objectif est d’assurer que nos clients continuent à nous faire confiance pendant de nombreuses années à venir.

1958

Arrahona, S. A. was established with a styrene polymerisation plant, with technological backing from Koppers Inc.

1963

Arrahona, S. A. diversified its activity by manufacturing the first transparent poly-styrene (PS) sheets under the trademark Arrassol and PMMA profiles.

1966

Arrahona created a new company, NUDESA, in order to transfer the transparent sheet production to it. Over the years, NUDESA widened its activities and products in various markets. These activities lead to three new separate companies coming into existence and the dissolution of NUDESA.

1980

NUDEC, S. A. was founded as the company that inherited the NUDESA extrusion business, together with the know-how associated with materials and additives (PS, HIPS, SAN, ABS, PP, PMMA, UV). Company headquarters were established in Polinyà.

1988

The NUDEC, S. A. premises were extended by the construction of a new industrial building and warehouse. The original 2.500 square metres of construction became 6.800. The first production of SAN.

1991

The installation of the first optical quality line, with a width of two metres.

1994

The optical quality was increased to include various polymers. The first production of PET and PETg plastic sheets.

1996

The NUDEC quality system obtained ISO 9002:1994 certification. Another production building (1.100 square metres) was constructed to house new extrusion lines in clean rooms. PC sheet production was officially approved.

2003

A 1.000 square metre annex warehouse was constructed. The total constructed area rose to 9.000 square metres and the total NUDEC surface area reached 26.000 square metres.

2005

NUDEC, S. A. obtains ISO 9001:2000 quality certification, the updating of that obtained in 1996. An Expansion Department is created in order to search out new materials and applications. The support given to R+D+i by NUDEC is thus further encouraged.

2006

NUDEC, S. A. obtains the ISO 14001:2004 Environmental Management System standard, and renews its ISO 9001:2000 Quality Management System standard. With the acquisition of new technologies applied to the manufacturing process, NUDEC specializes in the production of thin gauges (up to 0,5 mm).

2014

NUDEC, after a long process of Innovation and development, launches into the market the iFrost plastic sheets, intended for LED lighting, which offer an optimal balance between light transmission and diffusion. This new product, manufactured in PMMA and PC, incorporates a new diffusion technology based on microspheres, which allows the combination of a high transmittance with a uniform distribution of light.

2017

Ampliación de un tercio de las instalaciones productivas y de almacenaje, llegando a los 13.150 m2 construidos. Instalación de una nueva línea de fabricación y construcción de nuevos almacenes con las últimas novedades tecnológicas.
