Belonging to the Alves Bandeira Group, the Rioja Technological Center (RTC) was created over 20 years ago to provide quality control services for raw materials and finished products, for Alves Bandeira Group's brands and for third parties. It also offers consultancy services and development of industrial processes and R&D for lubricants, rubber, and polymers.

Comprising a highly qualified team and state-of-the-art equipment, the RTC utilizes analysis techniques that enable mechanical characterization, chemical analysis, and compliance with all legal requirements and specific certifications.

Today, the RTC is an internationally recognized Technological Center certified by the Spanish Accreditation Entity, which is where they are located. It is also certified by major automobile manufacturers such as RENAULT.

To ensure these accreditations, the RTC undergoes a large number of tests on different types of materials, which allows it to serve various sectors such as lubricants, automotive, transportation, construction, food industry, among others.

Regarding the Alves Bandeira Group, the RTC presents itself as a true added value and competitive advantage, as it guarantees and certifies the quality of all products produced and marketed by AB Chem, a company specialized in the manufacture and commercialization of lubricants, car care products, detergents, and other bulk chemical compounds worldwide.

Among the products marketed and manufactured by AB Chem, the portfolio of AB's own brand stands out (AB Lubs, AB Adittives, and AB Blue) as well as the products of the MatraX brand, which are exclusively represented and distributed by the Alves Bandeira Group.
