On March 7th, DC Fine Chemicals marked a significant milestone with the official opening of our new facility in Terrassa. This 7-million-euro investment enhances our operational capacity and underscores our commitment to sustainability and innovation. Additionally, this expansion is expected to create a 20% increase in local employment.
The event was graced by esteemed guests, including Miquel Sàmper, Minister of Business and Labor of the Generalitat, Jordi Ballart, Mayor of Terrassa, and Joan Roget, President of FEDEQUIM. We were also joined by representatives from PIMEC Vallès Occidental, CECOT, and the Cambra de Comerç of Terrassa.
Expanding capacity and commitment to sustainability
Our new facility nearly triples the space of our previous location in Cornellà, with a total area of 7,300 m² and a 3,050 m² building. This expansion allows us to increase storage capacity from 900 to 2,000 pallets, improving both logistics and operational efficiency. In line with our dedication to sustainability, the facility includes 108 photovoltaic panels, generating 50 kW of power, green spaces, and electric vehicle charging points.
Message from our managing director, Juli Orihuela
Juli Orihuela took the opportunity to thank everyone involved in the project, noting the crucial roles played by customers, employees, partners, and supporting institutions.
“This new facility marks an important step forward for DC Fine Chemicals. We have not only increased storage capacity and optimized our operations but have done so with a focus on sustainability and efficiency,” said Juli. “We believe the future of our industry lies in excellence, environmental responsibility, and constant innovation.”
Juli also shared the positive impact on the local economy: “Since October, we have increased our workforce by 10%, with 25% of our employees coming from Terrassa. We are committed to growing and contributing to the chemical and pharmaceutical sectors.”
Statements from the authorities
Jordi Ballart, Mayor of Terrassa, emphasized the strategic importance of the new facility: “Terrassa is a key location for industry, with its excellent communications and surrounding business ecosystem. The collaboration between public and private sectors drives economic and social progress, and DC Fine Chemicals exemplifies this.”

The 7-million-euro investment and job creation are a clear commitment to the high-quality chemical industry in our region.”
Joan Roget, President of FEDEQUIM, praised the company’s ongoing growth: “It’s a source of pride to see a company rooted in Terrassa’s industrial heritage continue to innovate. In a challenging European context, projects like this inspire confidence in the future of the sector.”
