About IBERGUM
We have always believed that what works should be optimized and maintained : that’s what nature does, and it’s what we have pursued since the beginning of our long journey as a company. We manufacture gummed paper tape, and our product drives us. Every day, we learn by meeting our customers' needs and growing alongside them and their trust.
50s
Our company began its journey in the late 1950’s, under the name Engomadora La Madrileña. We dedicated our first 20 years to manufacture and sale of gummed paper tape for closing cardboard boxes for the national market.
1978
In January 1978, the company, already consolidated as one of the main Spanish producers, acquired the legal form of a public limited company under the name of Ibergum, S.A. and became a member of FIPAGO, the International Association of Gummed Paper Manufacturers. Thus we began our first exports to neighbouring countries, the import, transformation and sale of adhesive tapes and, later, of stretch film for palletising.
80s
The challenge of exporting has driven us to constantly renew and modernise our production methods, to continuously innovate in manufacturing and control systems and equipment, with the aim of establishing ourselves as a company renowned for its quality and efficiency. Successive investments in the printing area allowed us, in the mid-1980s, to incorporate two new products: printed kraft paper for wrapping coins and printed gummed paper kraft packaging, ideal for multiple applications.
90s
In the 1990s we fully established our foreign market, which today accounts for the export of 75% of our gummed paper tape production. We currently have a commercial presence on the 5 continents, with the majority in the entire group of countries of the European Union and UK.
2001
In January 2001 we opened our new plant in the town of Marchamalo (Guadalajara). These new facilities, with a surface area of over 3,200 m2, have allowed us to take our company policy further and produce with the highest quality based on the guidelines of continuous investment and maximum collaboration with suppliers and customers.
2004
In March 2004, Ibergum obtained certification for our management system, according to the ISO 9001:2015 quality standard, with main points on responsibility, resource management, measurement, analysis and continuous improvement. Our ISO 9001:2015 and 14001:2015 environmental certifications, as well as the FSC® and PEFC certifications, which guarantee that all our raw materials are obtained from controlled forestry operations, reflect our commitment to the environment.
2024
In line with this ongoing commitment to sustainability and the environment and with the dynamics of the company, changes in the corporate structures of the group mean that, from January 2024, Ibergum will become Ibergum Eco S.L.U., within the Ibergum S.A. group.
Very aware of our social responsibility, we have always tried to help as a company, sponsoring sports activities in childhood or research in rare disease foundations. Currently, we collaborate in projects whose main objective is complementary therapeutic treatment to help slow the deterioration of cognitive, physical and social development of children with St. Philip Syndrome, and improve their quality of life.
