For more than 20 years, Lubrizol has advanced biotechnology using safe microorganisms, renewable carbon sources, and processes designed to avoid biodiversity loss. The Gavà, Spain site produces biodegradable, non-toxic ingredients, many approved under COSMOS standards, supporting a more circular, low-impact manufacturing model.

In 2025, Lubrizol invested to expand fermentation production capacity by five times at its Center of Skin Care Excellence in Gavà. This upgrade strengthens our ability to deliver high-performance biotech ingredients while reducing environmental impact.

The expanded facility increases manufacturing flexibility, improves supply-chain resilience, and enables faster innovation to meet growing global and regional needs. It also supports efficiency improvements that reduce waste and resource use across fermentation operations.
