Values

Integrity

Sigma Quimica SL establishes long-lasting relationships based on integrity. The Company's employees therefore adopt an honest and upright approach in relations with others, based on their own credibility and treating everybody equally.

For Sigma Quimica SL employees, integrity means taking responsibility for the action and not immediately transferring problems to others. We accept responsibilities to set an example to new employees and be successful in our work. We are committed and act thoroughly. We take decisions, have initiative, express opinions and reflect on what is required to achieve the best for the Company and society.

Professionalism

We are professionals that strive for the very highest standards in everything we do. Professionalism includes concepts such as expertise, knowledge, experience, confidence and competence. This is the cornerstone of SIGMA QUIMICA SL's values. We are aware of our own limitations and never make promises we cannot fulfil.

Improvement

Standing still means going backwards. In Sigma Quimica SL we continuously improve. We are proactive and anticipate customer and environmental expectations. Through self-criticism and open communication we improve and evaluate our results. Creativity and evaluation are essential components of our improvement strategy.

SIGMA QUIMICA SL's most important product is its service, which is one of the key reasons for the business's success. We listen to and understand our customers' needs and expectations to provide optimum quality services that satisfy their requirements and objectives. Our motto is to always keep our promises and never promise more than we can deliver.

Passion

This value is at the heart of what we do. Passion is shown through enthusiasm, loyalty and commitment. Everything we do, we do positively, which is reflected in our behaviour. We believe in what we do and we do things enthusiastically. Our passion defines how we interact with others. We empathise with everybody we work with, colleagues, customers, shareholders and with citizens and the environment we share in the cities where our terminals are located.

Agility

SIGMA QUIMICA SL's employees are aware of what is important to the Company, acting rapidly and efficiently at all times. We always provide simple, direct responses. We make sure we do not complicate situations; quite the opposite, we offer solutions. We are able to respond rapidly to changing situations and concerns, thanks to our professionalism, flexibility and knowledge of the working environment. Agility and responsiveness set us apart.

Sigma Quimica produces and stores a wide variety of Industrial Chemicals, liquid bulk products and gasses.

Those products are classified in four groups: oil products, chemicals and LPG, biofuels and vegetable oils, and LNG. We also offer additional handling services at our terminals. Examples of these are blending two products, mixing additives into a product, applying a nitrogen blanket on top of a product to push out oxygen, heating or cooling products and loading or unloading ships, railcars and trucks. At many locations, we can also assist our customers with customs formalities and documentation.

In general, one customer rents one tank for one product during the contract period. However, we also apply co-mingled tank storage, where multiple customers use a similar capacity for a product, provided that the product specification is equal and customers agree on this optimization mechanism. When properly cleaned when changing products, some tanks can be used for multiple products which provide flexibility in storage capacity. The wide variety of liquid bulk products that we can store attracts customers that produce or trade more than one type of product.

Oil storage

Oil products (such as crude oil, gasoline, naphtha, diesel and fuel oil) are mainly stored in large-size tanks.

Chemical storage

Chemical products (such as methanol, xylene, MEG and LAWS) are typically stored in smaller tank sizes. Chemical products often require specific storage conditions such as controlled temperature conditions or atmospheres. LPG is a highly flammable product and is stored in refrigerated tanks at about minus 40°C or in bullets under high pressure.

Biofuels and vegetable oils storage

Biofuels and vegetable oils: bio-ethanol is often stored in the same size tanks as chemicals and requires similar specific tank storage conditions. Bio-diesel and vegetable oils are often stored in the same size tanks with less restricted storage conditions than chemicals.

LNG storage

LNG is stored in specially-designed full containment large tanks and is cooled at atmospheric pressure to about minus 160°C.

Port agency and hub agency are complementary services, operated from Sigma’s network of offices in Europe and contribute to the integrated logistic services the group offers to the oil and chemical industries.
