Quality and sustainability

Since our beginnings, at Distiller S.A. we have maintained rigorous quality, safety and environmental protection systems, which we continuously improve. This is the only way to achieve excellence.

Environmental protection

We are committed to the environment and to caring for the planet, and we are actively involved in the new circular economy. We also rely on recycling and reuse to valorize waste into new resources.

Quality assurance

The two Distiller S.A. plants in Santa Perpètua de Mogoda (Barcelona) and Ólvega (Soria) are equipped with analysis and control laboratories featuring state-of-the-art instrumentation. In this way, all waste received at each plant, as well as the waste generated internally, is sampled and analyzed to ensure it is treated and managed with complete safety.

All finished products undergo rigorous physical and chemical checks that meet all market and customer requirements. This allows us to guarantee our customers maximum control and transparency in waste treatment and management, as well as compliance with current European laws on toxic and hazardous waste.
