GRIT celebrates 25 years of experience, innovation and commitment to the future

On 21 September, GRIT celebrated its 25th anniversary with a very special gathering in Avinyó (Barcelona), home to its industrial plant and a place where the company has built much of its history.

A day to celebrate 25 years of achievements, but above all, to share the occasion with those who have been part of the journey: employees, customers, suppliers, partners, families and the local community of Avinyó.

Because behind 25 years of technology, innovation and growth, there are, first and foremost, people.

25 years worth celebrating together

The celebration took place outdoors in a warm, welcoming and family-friendly atmosphere. Guests enjoyed excellent catering and various spaces designed to spend time together in a relaxed setting. Younger visitors also had their own special area, with inflatable attractions prepared especially for them.

But the anniversary was also an opportunity to discover GRIT from the inside.

Throughout the event, guided visits to the Avinyó industrial plant gave guests the opportunity to explore the company’s different areas of activity, its technical and production capabilities, and some of the latest improvements introduced at its facilities.

The visits highlighted something that has defined GRIT since the beginning: a continuous commitment to investment, progress and improvement.

A story that began in 2001

GRIT was founded in 2001 by chemical engineer Ramón Terrado, following an extensive professional career with manufacturers and distributors of industrial gases, particularly CFCs and the products subsequently developed to replace them.

From the outset, the company was built around a clear vision: to provide specialised, personalised technical advice and solutions to industry.

That vision has continued to grow and evolve over the past 25 years. Today, GRIT specialises in the distribution, storage and development of liquefied gases and gas blends for industrial applications, providing solutions for sectors including refrigeration, aerosols, thermal insulation foams and other specialised applications in the pharmaceutical, chemical and food industries, among others.

25 years of expertise, technology and innovation

GRIT’s evolution cannot be measured solely by its facilities or product portfolio. A fundamental part of its history lies in the technical expertise accumulated by its team and its ability to develop solutions tailored to changing industry needs.

Since 2001, the company has established a strong presence in the European HFC refrigerant market and holds an F-Gas quota under Regulation (EU) 2024/573, enabling it to carry out HFC distribution activities across the European market.

At the same time, GRIT continues to focus on the research and exploration of new refrigerants and solutions aimed at reducing environmental impact, keeping innovation and sustainability at the heart of its development.

It is precisely this combination of experience and determination to keep moving forward that best explains GRIT’s first 25 years.

25 years alongside people

Celebrating an anniversary like this means looking back and recognising everything that has been achieved. The projects completed, the investments made, the challenges overcome and, most importantly, the people who have placed their trust in GRIT throughout the years.

But it also means looking ahead.

GRIT marks its 25th anniversary as an established company, with a continued commitment to research, innovation and investment in technology to meet the emerging challenges of the industrial gases sector.

New products, evolving industrial needs and environmental challenges will continue to transform the market. And GRIT intends to remain an active part of that transformation, contributing expertise, technical capabilities and increasingly advanced solutions.

25 years of experience. 25 years of people, expertise and innovation.

And a story that continues.
