About

Us

The Sapec Group was established in Portugal in 1926 to exploit the Lousal pyrite mines in Grândola.

​

The Group’s vertical integration in the production of phosphate fertilisers was a quick process, after which it expanded and gradually developed its production and marketing activities to other production input in agriculture. The production and marketing of fertilisers, plant protection products, seeds and animal feedstuffs were, for many decades, Sapec’s core activities.

After selling Sapec Agro Business, its primary area of activity, in 2016, Sapec turned its attention to restructuring some of the other activities and, through a major investment programme, strengthened and increased the capacity of assets connected to those businesses.

In 2019, the company acquired a stake in Algaia and set up TLA, a vehicle logistics company. These were the very first steps towards revitalising the portfolio and expanding to areas more directly related to the environment and sustainability.

Sapec's portfolio today includes the following activities:

• Solutions and distribution of industrial chemicals (Sapec Química);
• Multimodal logistics services on its platforms in Setúbal and Valongo (SPC);
• Port logistics services (Sapec Terminais Portuários – solid and liquid bulk terminals, Navipor – roll-on and roll-off handling operations, and Operestiva – supply of temporary port labour);
• Land based production and processing of bio seaweed, food and cosmetic ingredients, as well as bioestimulants, based on seaweed extracts (AlgaPlus / Algaia);
• Real estate (Sapec Parques Industriais);

ALGAplus: um exemplo europeu a partir das águas da ria

Já provou uma salada com alface-do-mar? Uma quiche de bodelha ou um risotto de erva-patinha? Por acaso, já se imaginou a comer cabelo-de-velha? Pois bem, essa é uma das principais missões da ALGAplus: promover o consumo de macroalgas cultivadas localmente de forma sustentável, levando-as à mesa (e não só) de cada vez mais pessoas.

ALGAplus attracts investment, increases capital and strengthens its shareholding structure

SAPEC Portugal acquires 57% of ALGAplus after a capital increase participated also by one of the actual shareholders. This transaction reinforces Sapec’s approach to continue growing in the seaweed sector, as an overall strategy focused on healthy & sustainable food.
