More than 30 years of experience
Since 1988 ABN has placed as a solid and socially responsible company with a strong future prospect.
Start of activity at a regional level
ABN starts its activity as a distributor of material for building, civil works and industry in the Galician Autonomous Community.
PPR introduction
During this decade, ABN introduced PPR to the regional market, which was largely unknown among installers, and carved out an important niche in the market.
National distribution
ABN starts the national distribution of ppr piping systems and sets up a commercial network that operates throughout the peninsula, signing reference projects.
Start of construction
ABN starts the construction of a plant for the production of thermoplastic piping systems in Medina del Campo.
Starts marketing
After the manufacturing test phase, ABN starts marketing its PPR and PE-RC solutions.
First R&D plan
Research and development of new products has always been at the central axis of the company’s strategy.
Second R&D plan
ABN is committed to developing the most innovative, efficient and sustainable solutions on the market.
Sustainable production
ABN focuses on a sustainable vision and environmentally certifies both the organisation and its main product ranges.
Sustainability
ABN Environmental Policy
ABN’s environmental strategy establishes a commitment to sustainable development and long-term value creation as principles of its core business.
Health and safety at work
In ABN, we are committed to providing safe working conditions, preventing occupational hazards as a priority objective, and complying with all relevant legal regulations.
Cradle to Cradle (C2C) certification
Cradle to Cradle Certification (C2C) is a comprehensive solution to assess, optimise and verify all aspects of product design and manufacturing by evaluating product safety, circularity and responsibility in five categories.
Environmental Product Declaration (EPD)
ABN’s main product families have an ENVIRONMENTAL PRODUCT DECLARATION (EPD) that provides environmental life cycle data for our systems.
Ecovadis gold level
It is a seal that qualifies the level of sustainability of companies, including the impacts we emit as an organisation in different areas.
