Nubiola Celebrates 100 Years of Passion for Colors
BARCELONA, Spain - Nubiola is celebrating its 100th anniversary of providing color solutions to the plastics, coatings, construction and cosmetics markets, as well as to a wide range of other global industries.
The company began in 1914 when it built a small factory in Barcelona, Spain, to produce laundry-grade ultramarine blues to make white cotton clothes look whiter. Now, 100 years later, the company is the world’s largest ultramarine producer and the only company with four plants dedicated to the production of this pigment. Nubiola is also a leading manufacturer of other specialty inorganic pigments with particular focus on the high-end grades of iron oxides, zinc ferrites, chrome oxide greens, chrome yellows and molybdate oranges, corrosion inhibitors, and bismuth vanadates.
