Armando Alvarez Group S.A.

We were born as a small family business, and we have evolved over time to become a leading international group.

We are a 100% private company since we began, representing one of Spain’s largest family-run companies with Cantabrian origin and international presence.

Through our 18 companies we meet the needs of very diverse sectors, but which complement each other: packaging, containers, agriculture, geosynthetics, forestry, wood, logistics and renewable energy. The Álvarez family is also the owner of the Sardinero Hoteles Group, comprising four hotels in Santander and Madrid.

We have chosen a circular economy model that will guarantee  sustainable growth over time, promoting resource optimization, reducing the use of raw materials and converting waste products into resources by recycling, giving them new life. This will allow us to continue to grow in the markets where we participate, while at the same time contributing with our activity to building a more inclusive, fair and sustainable society.

Our position was made possible today thanks to the permanent reinvestment of profits and to a team of over 2500 people who are committed to the corporate project and to the owner family. The values and the example set by the founder, Mr. Armando Álvarez, are maintained by the third generation of the family joining the Group, guided by its chairman, Mr. José Ramón Álvarez.
