Panimex is a company with over 30 years in the market and with a long term vision, waiting to see its family of employees, clients and suppliers grow, forging transgenerational relationships that go beyond a commercial relationship which is friendship, loyalty and trust in what its done. Product which is inherently sustainable and committed with the environment.
Within the critical points that affect the planet on a long term, there are 4 of special interest, in which the company must take action and look for advances to improve the quality of life in harmony with nature. Within these 4, companies must define 2 fields of action, the first one is what advances can be implemented during company processes as to improve the current situation and the second, and most important, how do the products that we sell affect during a lifetime, if they have a positive or negative effect and in case of the latter, how to improve it.
In time, Panimex has tended to use a larger percentage of renewable products in its raw materials, marketing these in the world of plastics, paints, varnishes and others.
The rest is obtained from the byproducts of oil refining, which derive over 96% of transportation fuel, heating and tars, ie, byproducts are exploited minimizing the use of natural resources.
Panimex processes are by its nature, water generators, which is reused in the same, so that its consumption is minimal. Within the Lifetime of their end products are produced high performance plasticizers, capable of maintaining pipelines, hoses and irrigation without leaks during its lifetime, avoiding waste and higher water usage to the same purpose.
The company, aware of the growing problem of global hunger and food waste due to spoilage, produces high performance raw materials for food films, preserving them fresh for longer, preventing further deterioration and waste.
In the liquids segment, we produce raw materials for insulation of food in plastic and glass bottles, avoiding spoilage of food and liquids which may be consumed for a longer period. In turn, contributes to the necessary flexibility of packaging for the mandated requirements during its lifetime.
This is perhaps the point where we can influence the future the most as excessive energy consumption implies greater energy generation and inefficiency in final products lead to a greater energy consumption in the users.
Panimex helps the reduction of domestic energy consumption by producing raw materials for isolation weatherstrips for windows and cold rooms, insulation for wiring, parts and accessories for fuel-efficient (light weight) cars, fibers used in ships amongst others, granting the required properties for a lighter weight, which translates in fuel savings, among other applications.
Within its processes, the company has followed a policy of continuous improvement and optimization of energy, taking measures such as:
All the above mentioned measures make processes in Panimex to be energy efficient and save great amounts of potential burnt fuel to generate energy which is saved or optimized.
The sum of these savings is similar to planning 95.000 trees each year, equivalent to 112 square hectares of forest. It is results like this that make the company work day alter day in improving the utilization of its resources in order to be a friendly alternative for everyday products for people.
