Read +We are an industrial group dedicated to the production and coating of aluminum. We have more than 350 people focused on circular economy through a production process that is committed to the constant recycling of aluminum.
To this end, we cover the entire life cycle of aluminum, from the production of aluminum coils from recycled aluminum scrap, which we carry out at Compañía Valenciana de Aluminio Baux; to the strip aluminum coating carried out by Bancolor Baux. Due to the trajectory in the sector, both brands of Grupo Baux are widely recognized for offering top quality aluminum products in very competitive times to customers all over the world.
Discover GRUPO BAUX
Being involved in the entire aluminum cycle, from scrap recycling to aluminum coating, makes us a versatile aluminum supplier with a large supply capacity.
Since December 2018, Grupo Baux has been part of the American group Jupiter Aluminum Corporation, a company founded by Dietrich Gross in 1992 with which we share the vision of Recycling aluminum for a better future. With an annual production capacity of 125 thousand tons of recycled aluminum, Jupiter has three production sites: an aluminum scrap processing center located in Indiana and two paint plants in Indiana and West Virginia.
Compañía Valenciana de Aluminio Baux is the subsidiary of the Grupo Baux dedicated to the production of recycled aluminum coils. Active since 2001, it has a production plant in Segorbe (Castellón) with almost 30,000 m2 of facilities and a team of more than 180 highly qualified employees.
The company generates all its recycled aluminum production from aluminum scrap, with a melting capacity of 84,000 tons per year.
Thanks to the Hazelett® Twin Belt continuous casting system, unique in Europe for aluminum production, it requires less time and 37% less energy than alternative processes, allowing for shorter lead times and a product with a lower carbon footprint.
Bancolor Baux is the Group's subsidiary specialized in coil coating. Located in Elche de la Sierra (Albacete), it has 16,000 m2 of facilities and first-class machinery, which allows a high degree of flexibility to adapt its coil coating production to the needs of its customers and to incorporate new colors each year to its portfolio, which currently covers the entire range of RAL.
Bancolor Baux has a production capacity of 40,000 tons of coated aluminum strip per year, and its more than 150 employees have contributed to its solid reputation internationally and to its becoming a trusted supplier to large companies in the shutter and construction sector.
Bancolor Baux has a Distribution Center located in Alcalá de Henares, Madrid, which supplies different virgin and coated aluminum products (aluminum sheets in a wide variety of widths and lengths, coils of different sizes, sandwich panels, etc.) in smaller orders to distributors, manufacturers or warehouses.
In Grupo Baux we have always been very clear about what makes us different. From the moment of creation, we work for continuous improvement in search of Excellence in each of the areas of management. To do this, we rely on two fundamental values: Respect and Commitment.
This is the main value within a team, and in Grupo Baux it is put into practice daily not only with colleagues, but also with its collaborators and with society in general, but above all, the maximum respect of the Company is towards the planet.
Our commitment is to people and to the planet. Everything we do, we do with commitment, because commitment speaks of perseverance, of project, of integrity, but above all it speaks of the future.
It is not about doing things, but about doing them as well as possible, seeking excellence in everything we do because, only in this way, Grupo Baux will become an agent of change.
The commitment to the environment and sustainability is in our DNA since our origins and marks the strategy and production processes of the Group.
