Who we are

We are manufacturers of reagents for laboratory analysis and chemical products for industrial use by the pharmaceutical, foodstuff, chemical and research and development sectors, hospitals and universities.
Panreac was founded in 1941 in Barcelona (Spain) and, after 16 years, moved to new premises in Montcada i Reixac, by which time it was already the market leader in Spain and expanding its export operations. In 1999, its first subsidiaries were set up in France and Portugal. In 2001, the current 15,000m2 factory was inaugurated in Castellar del Vallès (Barcelona) and in 2004, the main offices were transferred to this site. In 2007, we bought the Italian company Nova Chimica (Milan) and, in 2008, we opened 3,000m2 of new warehouse facilities in Montcada i Reixac, in order to provide a better service to our customers and distributors in the 80-plus countries of the five continents in which we operate.
In 2010 we joined ITW Group, an American multinational with high industrial orientation.
