INNOVATION AS A STRATEGY From its beginning, the SAMCA Group has worked with the conviction that innovation is an essential capital for the future; thus, the resources devoted to Research, Development and Innovation are seen as elements of progress, added value and sources of competitive advantage. The R&D Department of the group coordinates the different research groups of all the business areas and promotes both the improvement of processes and the development of new products and technologies or the implementation of new businesses, with a clear orientation to the market and in a permanent. The group collaborates with numerous Spanish and foreign Universities and Technological Institutes. The most recent agreement was signed in June 2011 together with the University of Zaragoza and the Institute of Nanoscience of Aragon for the creation and financing of the SAMCA Department of Nanotechnology, with the aim of generating advanced research in this field and its application in industry, as well as of training new specialized. WORK LINES SAMCA concentrates its R&D work in the following sectors: Industrial minerals Conferring new properties on natural raw materials, which will permit the development of highly efficient materials. Ceramics Working in advanced technical ceramics and developing new pastes, glazed enamels, pigments and designs that adapt to the specific uses required today. Synthetic fibers Working for the textiles of the future, by incorporating revolutionary technologies into the textile processes with programmes such as nanotechnology, smart textiles and the functionalisation of textile materials. Plastic polymers Developing specific solutions for specific needs, thanks to the combination of the accumulated experience in polymers (PA and PET) and the latest technologies in nanocompounds and co-polymers, to be at the avant-garde of innovation. OPERATION BASES - To provide the knowledge that makes it possible for SAMCA to be positioned among the leaders in the markets, in which it operates, based on the experience of our business units. - Commercialization of the products developed through the group businesses. - Creation of a network of collaborators, performing the work of exchanging and dissemination of experience and knowledge. - Agreements of cooperation with Universities and Research Centres throughout the world. All this work is carried out thanks to:
