Molins receives a visit from President Salvador Illa at its facilities in Sant Vicenç dels Horts

This plan accelerates the efforts Molins has been undertaking since 1990, with the ultimate goal of supplying carbon-neutral concrete by 2050.

During the meeting, Molins highlighted the ongoing sustainability projects, such as its alternative raw materials (MPA) plant, which enabled the reuse of more than 93 000 t of construction and demolition waste in 2024. Additionally, Molins delved into innovative initiatives it is developing, including energy efficiency projects aimed at reducing thermal consumption and CO₂ emissions at its plants, as well as projects from its artificial intelligence laboratory focused on industrial applications.

Marcos Cela, CEO of Molins, emphasised Molins commitment to decarbonising the cement sector: “At Molins, we have been driving concrete initiatives for years to accelerate the transition toward a more sustainable industry. We are aware that the goal is highly ambitious, but at the same time, we know that, as a society, we cannot afford to aim for anything less. That is why we continue to push forward with cutting-edge innovation projects that will allow us to develop new solutions. The visit of President Salvador Illa has been an excellent opportunity to share our progress and reaffirm our commitment to sustainable industrial development.”

The visit also included the presence of Government Delegate Pilar Díaz and the Mayor of Sant Vicenç dels Horts, Miguel Comino, alongside President Illa. Representing Molins were its President, Juan Molins, and CEO, Marcos Cela, along with Salvador Fernández, Executive Vice President Cement & RMC Spain & Mexico; Carlos Martínez, Chief Strategy & Sustainability Officer; and Ignacio Machimbarrena, Chief Innovation Officer.
