The start
Incorporated on 21 November 1985, our main aim was the manufacture and sale of mechanical pulp to the main industries.
ZUBIALDE S.A. has been dedicated exclusively to the manufacture and marketing of high performance paper pulp since the year 1985, with an annual production capacity of 10,000 t/year. The company has 98,000 m2 and is located in Aizarnazabal (Gipuzkoa) by the Urola River, where we have all the water we need for the whole production process. The workforce consists of 55 people, 45 of whom work in production in a Non-Stop system of 5 shifts over 360 days of the year. The rest of the workforce works in maintenance, services, administration and management.
We use resinous wood in our production, mainly Pinus radiata. This conifer, also known as Pino Insignis, Monterey Radiata Pine, was introduced into our community in the nineteenth century, and currently accounts for 43% of the forest mass of all species in the Basque Autonomous Region. ZUBIALDE is located in the centre of this forested area within a 100km radius. To a lesser extent we use maritime pine (pinus pinaster) from the Landes Forest in Gascony, the largest mass of resinous trees in Western Europe (around 1,000,000 ha). The timber we receive comes from thinnings or cuttings made to clean up and strengthen the forests and tips of pine trees felled for the sawmills.
