3 Dec. 2023: Launched as part of the company’s 80th anniversary celebrations, the centre will service Saica’s four divisions globally: Saica Natur, Saica Paper, Saica Pack and Saica Flex.

The new R&D&I Centre will allow teams to develop new products, improve raw material efficiency, and offer advanced characterisation services of materials and processes to both clients and other Saica departments.

Also, the R&D&I department has been designed to boost two strategic company objectives: reducing Saica’s carbon footprint; and achieving “Zero Waste to Landfill” in all Saica plants.

In addition, the new facility houses the team of the National Development Centre (NDC) for Saica Pack Iberia, providing an open and collaborative space for innovation with customers of corrugated board packaging.
