    Lusosílica aims to implement, at national and international level, a strategy of growth and differentiation, investing systematically in innovation and the creation of new products, using the most modern technological methods in order to meet the demands and needs of its customers (glass, ceramics, foundry, engineered marble and construction).

    Committed to pursuing this differentiation strategy, Lusosílica intends to invest in strengthening the company’s capacity to produce new, differentiated products for distinct customer segments, with a view to developing and growing its activity in the silica sands business area and increasing its control over the downstream stages of the value chain.

    To make this strategy a reality, investment in the creation of a specialised processing unit is essential. This unit, supported by state-of-the-art technological resources, will enable the company to make the most of the potential of its raw material and to produce a wide range of products with high added value in the market.

    Lusosílica’s objectives for the coming years:

    • Advance along the value chain, increasing its control over the processing, distribution and marketing stages;
    • Increase turnover, with a strong emphasis on foreign markets, which should account for a significant share of total turnover;
    • Win more sophisticated and demanding clients, particularly in the flat glass, container glass, crystal and ceramics industries;
    • Increase GVA (Gross Value Added).
