CORPORACIÓN F. TURIA, S.A. leads the Business Group made up of several subsidiary companies that currently offer solutions in various sectors of activity.

As the parent company of the Group of companies and being predominantly family-owned, it has undergone an important transformation in its previous strategy, based then on the management of its resources through, among others, risky financial investments with the acquisition of shares of a certain relevance in companies listed on different stock markets and with high potential returns, serving as examples, among others, FERSA (Renewable Energy) and BANCO DE VALENCIA, SA, in which with the new strategic line it was decided to divest at the most adequate with the generation of important benefits.

Being a Company whose obligation is first to preserve, and then to increase, the family assets, in recent years it has adopted a clearly more conservative profile and has evolved towards a strategy of expansion, diversification and internationalization without assuming excessive risks, dedicating part of its resources in acquisitions and investments in self-managed companies with a potential to generate reasonable returns, as well as in real estate investments with a high degree of security, being the owner of the vast majority of the properties in which the manufacturing centers of its subsidiaries are located.

CORPORACIÓN F. TURIA, S.A. it is therefore the one that determines the strategic and management lines of each of its companies, in addition to providing them with the financial support necessary for their development, either through capital contributions or participative loans.

In addition to the above, CORPORACIÓN F. TURIA, S.A. has central services composed of several Corporate Departments, through which it provides comprehensive services to its subsidiaries, such as management, financial management, administration, data analytics, legal advice, operations, human resources, management of the prevention, quality and environment, corporate social responsibility and management of regulatory compliance.

CHEMISTRY



After analyzing various business opportunities, and following the new strategic line of CORPORACIÓN F. TURIA, S.A. of expansion, diversification and internationalization, we decided to invest in the chemical sector due to its great development potential and due to the circumstance of ceasing to depend solely on the national market, opening the borders to the exciting challenge of being able to have a relevant presence in international markets, with a great commitment to research, development and innovation, all of them undoubtedly key factors for the future success of our Group.

For this, CORPORACIÓN F. TURIA, S.A. acquired in 2014 the majority of the share capital of KHEME CHEMICAL, S.L., a small operating company dedicated to developing and marketing chemical products for construction. With the vast experience and deep knowledge within our Group of such products, being also consumers in our subsidiary CEMENTVAL MATERIALES DE CONSTRUCCIÓN, S.L., we knew of our capacity for their development based on what the market might demand.

That is why we base our work philosophy on the development of a wide range of products, in most cases personalized for each client, with permanent technical advice, and always depending on the needs that each of them may have. Both according to the type of raw materials they use, as well as according to the type of facilities and processes for manufacturing they have, and according to the improvement they seek, for which we commercialize additives for the production of cement, for the production of concrete and mortar, such as for ceramic production.

But our growth in the chemical sector should not be limited to the construction sector, so from the beginning we embarked on the development of additives to avoid problems on the internal and external surfaces of boilers and furnaces due to the use of high content in sulphur fuels.

In the same way, from the beginning we have promoted the development of chemical products for agriculture, which we launched on the market in 2016 with the trade name naturKhem.

The task has been titanic, but the results have been extraordinary, thanks to exhaustive research and innovation, supported by different organizations and institutions (Universities and Technological Institutes), having managed to develop products for the field capable of offering solutions in all phases of the growing cycle.

At naturKhem our philosophy is based on the development of a wide range of products for the different moments of the growing cycle, creating our own formulas, in addition to the development of a range of differentiated products to combat the main problems our customers face, as well as specific products for different fruits, always with the advice of our technicians both in the selection of the product and in its application.

We highlight below the three Business Lines that make up the CHEMICAL Activity Area.
