Awards, highlighting its work both nationally and internationally

and its role as an engine and pulse of the economy.

"We started our journey in 2006 and this gives us the title of

favorite sons of the crisis. The change of environment, the un-

certainty and the lack of financial resources, sharpened our in-

10 Years celebrated

stinct to think different. And thinking different was not thinking

like a micro-SME, which is what we really were, but thinking as

an international company.

Developing an improper ambition of our size and trajectory, and

clinging frantically to innovation as our only rescue.", said Igna-

cio Muñoz, Molecor CEO, collecting the CEPYME prize to the

best SME of the year.

This year Molecor

will be present at various events worldwide,

Smagua, Plastic Pipes and K 2016 among others, exposing its
