Inside Zelnova-Zeltia: A Glimpse into Spain's Largest Insecticide Producer

In the heart of Galicia, Spain, lies Zelnova-Zeltia, a company that quietly plays a significant role in the national economy. This chemical company is the largest producer of insecticides in Spain, churning out an impressive 200,000 aerosols and 150,000 electric diffusers daily. A recent video offers a rare look inside their operations, revealing a highly automated production line and a massive warehouse holding nearly 10,000 pallets of finished goods. "The system allows us to know four months in advance what we're going to produce on each line, in what quantities," explains a company representative in the video. This advanced planning, combined with automated processes, ensures a smooth and efficient operation. The video also underscores that while insecticide production is less seasonal than one might assume, demand peaks during the warmer months of May through August. The efficiency and scale of Zelnova-Zeltia's operations are a testament to Galician industry and innovation.
