In 1977 the company&#8217;s move to Malpica Industrial Estate on the outskirts of the city marked a turning point in its history and allowed it to expand and diversify its range of products as well as its markets and applications. It became a benchmark supplier at both national and international level in industries such as that of detergents, ceramics, construction, water treatment, paints, electrodes and paper, amongst others. 1958 Foundation of Industrias Qu\u00edmicas del Ebro, S. A. in Zaragoza. Start of production of sodium and potassium silicates and sodium metasilicate. 1961 Creation of the first subsidiary, DESILSA (Detergentes y Derivados de Silicatos Alcalinos, S.A.) in Barcelona to supply the detergent industry. 1977 Transfer to new facilities at the Malpica Industrial Estate. 1989-1992 Start of zeolite and precipitated silica production. 2000-2005 Start-up of lines based on aluminium silicate: aluminium silicate, aluminium hydroxide, aluminium sulfate and accelerators for the construction industry. 2015 Acquisition of the silicate division of Peroxychem in Espa\u00f1a, which joined the group as Silicatos de Malpica (SIMAL), located in Zamudio (Bilbao). 2016 Start-up of new precipitated silica production line. 2021 New sodium silicate production furnace at the SIMAL plant in Zamudio (Bilbao). 2023 First step towards the company\u2019s internationalisation through its participation in a new precipitated silica plant in Mexico. 1958 Foundation of Industrias Qu\u00edmicas del Ebro, S.
