What Plasticos Compuestos does

Kompuestos (Plásticos Compuestos S.A.) is a Spanish B2B manufacturer of plastic concentrates, masterbatches, compounds, and bioplastics, headquartered in Palau Solità i Plegamans, Barcelona. The company sells direct to plastic manufacturers and converters globally, exporting 70% of production to more than 50 countries and operating in 40+ countries, with two production plants in the Barcelona metropolitan area delivering over 150,000 tons/year of total manufacturing capacity, including a dedicated 43,000-ton eco-plastics line inaugurated in 2019.

The product portfolio is organized around three technology platforms. The first is exfill® mineral concentrates, which combine 100% treated ultrafine minerals (talc, calcium carbonate, silica) with premium polymer resins to displace polymer content and lower carbon footprint. The second is a family of compostable and biodegradable resins — Compostable Resins, Biokomp, Okean® (TÜV Austria OK biodegradable WATER certified), and Bioexfill® — derived from corn, potato, cereal, and other biologically sourced starches. The third comprises functional masterbatches and additives: colour concentrates, black masterbatches, and additives including antimicrobial, UV/IR protection, and anti-fog variants with food-contact approval.

Kompuestos generates revenue through one-time product sales with non-public B2B pricing; reported revenue was 46.3 million euros in 2019 (up 11.8% YoY) and 22.4 million euros in H1 2020, with 2018 EBITDA of 4 million euros. The company has been publicly traded on Spain's Mercado Alternativo Bursátil (MAB) since August 2019 under ticker KOMPUESTOS, led by President and CEO Ignacio Duch, with a board that includes multiple family members alongside independent directors. The company is a signatory to the Ellen MacArthur Foundation's New Plastics Economy Global Commitment and has set explicit 2025 targets to grow low-carbon products to 70% of mix and compostable/renewable products to 20%.
