La Seda de Barcelona, S.A. (LSB)
The Group's principal activities are the production and distribution of artificial and synthetic fabrics and yarn such as polyester, polythene and viscose. It is also involved in pharmaceutical fields such as the production of oxyacetylene and its derivatives. The Spanish, Italian, German and French markets are some of its main target markets, but it is also present in the markets of the Maghreb, Turkey and South America.
La Seda de Barcelona has a PET project. Although long associated with manufacturing artificial silk, La Seda de Barcelona (Spanish for "the silk of Barcelona") is turning its attention toward the production of petrochemicals such as polyethylene terephthalate (PET, used to make plastic containers), polyester fibers, and polyamide yarns. The company also makes ingredients used in detergents (ethylene oxide) and antifreeze (glycols). Customers include members of the textile, food, paper, paint, and cosmetics industries. La Seda de Barcelona was founded in 1925.
