La Granja de San Ildefonso, 11 March 2024 – La Granja Insulators is the world’s oldest manufacturer of high quality glass insulators for electrical systems, and one of the two leading companies in Europe in the sector.
La Granja Insulators is a member of the Verescence Group, the world’s leading glass manufacturer. It has a presence in 120 countries around the world and more than 100 million insulators installed.
From Real Sitio de San Ildefonso to the world
Dedicated since 1932 to the production of these technological components in the Royal Site of La Granja de San Ildefonso, our experience and the privileged enclave in which we are located, in the province of Segovia, fully identified with glass manufacturing for more than 250 years, are signs of identity of the Company.
The great glassmaking tradition that permeates us, allows our employees to have the expertise and mastery learned, inherited and transmitted from generation to generation, from father to son, manufacturing a high quality product, highly appreciated and recognised by customers worldwide.
The fact that we are located in the heart of a Biosphere Reserve is another characteristic and an incentive to perpetuate our corporate essence.
Sustainability in La Granja Insulators’ DNA
As a leading manufacturer of glass insulators for the electrical industry, we at La Granja Insulators recognise the crucial role we play in promoting sustainability and minimising our environmental footprint.
Convinced that energy drives the development of the planet, its industrial and human progress, at La Granja Insulators we firmly believe in transforming and adapting to new renewable energy sources.
That is why sustainability is not just a goal for La Granja Insulators, but an integrated part of every decision and process we carry out in the company, being an essential part of our DNA.
In our sustainability strategy, people, society and ecological solutions in production are the key lines that guide us.
In this sense, since 2021 the VERESCENCE SPAIN plant has been certified by ISO 50001 for Energy Management. We also have the SBTI company recognition for our decarbonisation road-map with a commitment to reduce emissions by 60% by 2034.
These recognitions demonstrate our firm commitment to sustainability and responsible and efficient management. In this sense, “we are proud to be an example for the sector”, says Bruno Portellano, Managing Director of La Granja Insulators.
Quality
Faced with the challenges of climate change and the need for sustainable solutions, La Granja Insulators provides its customers with high quality glass insulators to meet their electrical infrastructure needs while respecting the environment.
“We are much more than a manufacturer,” stresses the Managing Director of La Granja Insulators. In fact, he points out, “we are a partner for electricity companies, as we support them in the management of electricity grids to make them more efficient, durable and sustainable”.
“The quality of our work gives value to this technological component, which is essential for the proper functioning of the electricity industry. Without this highly relevant element, nothing would work as we understand it today,” he adds.
In this line, our extensive experience and know-how in line insulation, as well as our commitment to R&D&I and our commitment to customer service, allow us to offer projects and support services to companies dedicated to the design and maintenance of electricity grids.
Powering Grids
The new slogan of La Granja Insulators is ‘Powering Grids‘. With this slogan, the Company enhances its responsibility for efficient electricity transmission and drives energy to build a bright future for the company and society.
In 2024, La Granja Insulators is launching a new, more visual, intuitive and attractive website that reflects our passion for what we do and our respect for the environment.
