Industrial Units

Grupo IDESA's first plant was founded in Puebla in 1966, but due to the growth of the city between the 70s and 90s, Grupo IDESA, putting population safety and caring for the environment first, decided to emigrate this unit operations to Tlaxcala and Coatzacoalcos.

  • INDUSTRIAL UNIT IRAPUATO

    The Irapuato petrochemical complex dates back to the 1980s when the idea of installing an alkylamine production plant was born, a unique project in Mexico. This way, the company Petramin, S.A. de C.V., built and started the operation of the petrochemical plant in 1983.

    Subsequently, this company and its assets were acquired by Grupo IDESA in 2011, so the site became part of the Petrochemical Division, giving rise to the Irapuato Industrial Unit, where in addition to operating the alkylamine plant, the Center of IDESA Technological Development works.

    • 4,000 tons per year.
