TRADEBE GESTIÓN ESPAÑA SL

Tradebe is a Spanish multinational group of industrial businesses headquartered in Barcelona. Founded in 1984 by Josep Creixell, the company has grown from its origins in environmental services into a diversified group operating across four business lines: Environmental Services, Life Sciences, Health & Nutrition, and Port Services. Tradebe describes itself as pioneering in driving the circular economy, transforming waste into resources through recycling and reuse, and applying science and innovation to purification, essential ingredient creation, and nutrition. The group's Environmental Services division is its legacy business, providing recycling and waste management solutions to industrial clients. Life Sciences focuses on purification, flavors, and fragrances, while Health & Nutrition transforms raw materials into high-quality ingredients. Port Services facilitates sustainable and efficient port operations and logistics. Tradebe operates internationally, with a significant presence in Spain, France, Italy, the United Kingdom, and the United States, and continues to expand through acquisitions such as the 2026 acquisition of Spirit, an Italian battery recycling company. Tradebe is privately held, with the Creixell family remaining central to its ownership and governance. Josep Creixell serves as Chairman and founder, and family members hold key executive roles: Victor Creixell as CEO of Tradebe Environmental Services, Oscar Creixell as CEO of Tradebe Life Sciences, and Maria Creixell as CEO of Tradebe Health & Nutrition. The company emphasizes sustainable growth, integrity, and responsible solutions, positioning itself as a partner in the circular economy and industrial transformation.

Tradebe was founded in 1984 by Josep Creixell, beginning as an environmental services company in Spain. Over four decades, it has grown into a multinational group of industrial businesses, expanding through organic growth and acquisitions. The company's journey is marked by a pursuit of excellence in turning challenges into opportunities and driving sustainable growth. In its early years, Tradebe focused on industrial waste management and recycling, building a reputation in the Spanish market. As environmental regulations tightened and the circular economy gained prominence, Tradebe expanded its services and geographic footprint. The company entered international markets, establishing operations in France, Italy, the United Kingdom, and the United States. Tradebe diversified beyond environmental services into life sciences, health & nutrition, and port services. The Life Sciences division focuses on purification, flavors, and fragrances, while Health & Nutrition transforms raw materials into high-quality ingredients. Port Services facilitates sustainable port operations and logistics. This diversification reflects Tradebe's strategy to unite legacy with innovation for a sustainable and healthy world. In March 2026, Tradebe Environmental Services acquired Spirit, a leading Italian company in electric battery recycling and the recovery of critical metals such as tungsten and molybdenum. This acquisition reinforced Tradebe's commitment to recycling, sustainability, and the circular economy, and expanded its capabilities in battery recycling and strategic materials recovery. The integration of Spirit was expected to combine innovation, expertise, and technology to deliver advanced solutions and open new opportunities for international circular economy projects. Throughout its history, Tradebe has remained privately held, with the Creixell family maintaining ownership and leadership. Josep Creixell serves as Chairman and founder, and his children hold key executive positions across the group's business lines. The company emphasizes integrity, responsibility, collaboration, innovation, and sustainability as core values, and continues to evolve as a group of industrial businesses dedicated to transforming the ordinary into extraordinary.
