OUR HISTORY KEY FIGURES OUR VALUES Our history In 1961 Marcos Montero Ruiz founded in Villarrobledo, in the heart of La Mancha, a small family business dedicated to tanker transport. At that time, the goods transported were those derived from agricultural productions in the area: mainly wine and oil. Chemical Liquids and Granulated and Powdery Products The industrial expansion of the early seventies, with the development of various petrochemical centers in different parts of Spain, was an opportunity to start offering services for this sector with great growth expectations. Over time the specialization in this type of transport was increasing, until it became the main activity of the company. Overcoming the difficulties that existed at that time for the development of international trade, Pañalón, in a pioneering way, crossed borders and began to provide international services. The incorporation of Spain into the EEC allowed to open new markets and expand the client portfolio to companies from the rest of Europe. It soon went from being a predominantly national company to having an international projection and orientation. At the end of the eighties, with the aim of complementing the range of services aimed at the chemical industry, it began to transport granulated products in specific tanks. In 1995 Pañalón once again demonstrated its innovative spirit by being the first Spanish transport company to obtain the ISO 9002 quality certificate. A policy of constant investment in new vehicles, together with various acquisitions of companies in the sector during the last decades, have allowed Pañalón to definitively consolidate itself as a leader in the sector at the national level, and one of the leading companies in the transport of chemical products in Europe. In 2003, after more than 20 years of presence in Tarragona, one of the most important petrochemical centers in Europe, it moved to the recently inaugurated facilities in the Constantí industrial estate. In an excellent location, close to the main clients and in an important communications hub, the complex has all the complementary services necessary for the transport activity (dangerous goods parking areas, tank wash, workshops, service station, etc. .). Industrial Vehicles In 1988 Pañalón began its activity in the vehicle transport sector, specializing from the first moment in the industrial range. In 2001, the definitive push of the vehicle carrier division took place through the absorption of an important company in the sector. Since then, Pañalón has been the leading national operator and one of the largest in Europe in the specialty of industrial vehicle transport. One year later, all the activities of the company related to this line of business moved to Torrejón del Rey, near Madrid. The new 150,000 m2 facilities allow the company to expand its range of services aimed at transportation and comprehensive logistics for industrial vehicles. Multimodal Transportation To meet the demand of our main clients and in order to complement the range of services, a multimodal transport division is created. After timid and innovative beginnings, in 1999 Pañalón joined forces with another important company in the sector to establish Tradilo. Through this new company, multimodal transport in containers of chemical products is developed, combining road traffic with other means such as rail and maritime. This is our history, and it has been possible thanks to the vision, effort and leadership of its founder and current President, Marcos Montero Ruiz. Headquarters Avda.
