HTBA presented this Wednesday the construction project for a new diosmin production plant at its industrial center in Beniel (Murcia). With an investment of over 6 million euros, the new plant will allow the company to increase its diosmin production capacity by nearly 40%, fulfilling its sustainable growth plans.
The company announced this new investment at an event held at its industrial center, with the participation of the Regional Minister of Enterprise, Employment and Social Economy, Marisa López Aragón, and the Mayor of Beniel, Mari Carmen Morales. Also in attendance were the General Director of Industry, Energy and Mines, Federico Miralles Pérez, and Beniel City Council members Juan Francisco García, Alba Rodríguez and José Antonio García. During the event, the Regional Minister and the Mayor participated in the planting of an orange tree, symbolizing the start of construction of the new diosmin manufacturing plant. Diosmin is a type of flavonoid whose raw material is citrus fruits such as sweet oranges and mandarins.
The new plant consolidates HTBA’s industrial center in Beniel as an international leader in the sustainable production of flavonoids such as diosmin, incorporating technological, operational and organizational improvements that will increase the efficiency and sustainability of production. With this investment, HTBA consolidates its position as the only company in the world capable of manufacturing diosmin using only water as a solvent, thanks to a patented process, offering more natural, sustainable and safe solutions for consumers.
Earlier this year, HTBA also presented the improvements implemented at its industrial center between 2020 and 2024, as part of a facility modernization project that already involved an investment of 25 million euros. In an event chaired by the President of the Region of Murcia, Fernando López Miras, the company detailed that the project included the construction of a plant for the production of active forms of vitamin B12, which made HTBA the only company in Europe capable of producing vitamin B12 in all its natural forms. Among other actions, the project also included a new climate-controlled warehouse, a photovoltaic installation and a corporate building.
