A day to care for our environment, remember those who are part of our story and continue to grow together.


 



Last Sunday, 25 October, we enjoyed a very special day as we came together for a walk that brought the SOFAMEL Forest to life. This initiative allowed us to bring together physical activity, sustainability, team spirit and remembrance in a place that holds special significance for us: La Pobla de Claramunt.

The SOFAMEL team and their families enjoyed a different kind of morning, shaped by our commitment to the environment and to the values at the heart of our company.

The initiative was built around four clear objectives: to encourage physical activity and healthy habits through a walk accessible to all participants; to help restore a mountainous area affected by the wildfires that struck La Pobla de Claramunt last July, the municipality where our offices, laboratory and production facility are located; to pay tribute to our colleague Cíntia Uroz; and to continue strengthening the bonds between the people who make up SOFAMEL beyond the workplace.

The day was particularly moving as we remembered our colleague Cíntia Uroz. Sharing this moment surrounded by nature and planting trees that will grow over the years was a symbolic way of keeping her memory alive and expressing our gratitude for everything she meant to those who were fortunate enough to share their journey with her.

The creation of the SOFAMEL Forest was also an opportunity to strengthen relationships between colleagues outside the workplace. Beyond our day-to-day professional lives, we were able to share experiences, conversations and moments that help us continue to build a strong team and reinforce the sense of belonging that unites us.

Every tree planted that day represents much more than a reforestation effort. It represents our commitment to the local area that is our home, our determination to play an active role in protecting the natural environment, and our responsibility to act with future generations in mind.

At SOFAMEL, we believe that companies also have an important role to play in building a more sustainable future and caring for the communities they are part of. Initiatives like this allow us to give a little something back to the environment that gives us so much every day.

We would like to express our sincere thanks to everyone who took part and helped make this day possible. Thanks to your involvement, the SOFAMEL Forest is now a reality.

Because growing also means nurturing our roots, remembering those who are part of our story and working together to leave a positive mark on our environment.

A day that once again brought together sport, camaraderie and team spirit, and in which we were recognised for our involvement and commitment. 


 
On 17 September, we took part in a new edition of the X Empresas Sports Challenges, held in Igualada. The event brought together numerous companies from the region around the values of collaboration, teamwork and healthy lifestyle habits.

This edition saw a strong representation from SOFAMEL, with a total of eight teams taking part: High Voltage Team, Se Nos Va la Pinza, Termanguitos, Voltios Salvajes, Ohm My God, Les Floretes, Els Guantassos and Minions. This strong presence reflects the involvement, enthusiasm and team spirit of the people who make up our organisation.

The day also brought us the satisfaction of receiving the Honorary Award for Most Participative Company, a recognition that highlights the commitment of our teams and the excellent reception this initiative receives within the company year after year.

Beyond the competition itself, these events provide an opportunity to share experiences, strengthen bonds between colleagues and enjoy an activity that promotes wellbeing, collaboration and team cohesion.

With eight teams taking part and this recognition, we reaffirm our commitment to initiatives that promote healthy lifestyle habits, strengthen relationships between people and contribute to creating a more participative and committed working environment.

We would like to thank everyone who took part in this edition and represented SOFAMEL with enthusiasm, sportsmanship and commitment. This award is undoubtedly a reflection of their involvement and of the spirit that defines us as a team.

Below, we share a selection of images capturing some of the best moments from the day.

At SOFAMEL, we remain committed to projects that promote innovation, young talent and technological development. That is why we have renewed our collaboration with UPC ecoRacing, the Formula Student team from the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (UPC), contributing to the development of their new electric single-seater, the ecoRV.
 



The vehicle, designed to compete in both conventional and autonomous categories, represents a major step forward compared with previous generations. Its key innovations include the integration of autonomous driving systems, a modular carbon fibre chassis divided into six sections, all-wheel drive, a completely redesigned aerodynamic package and a newly developed propulsion system to improve performance and efficiency.

As part of this collaboration, SOFAMEL has supplied SGC Comfort ultra-thin dielectric gloves SGC Comfort and insulating blankets, protection solutions designed to ensure safety when working on low-voltage electrical installations and equipment.

The Class 0 SGC Comfort dielectric gloves combine certified electrical protection with excellent tactile sensitivity, flexibility and comfort, features that are particularly valuable for precision tasks such as diagnostics, electrical connections and the handling of electrical and electronic components. Meanwhile, the electrical insulating blankets provide additional protection against electrical hazards during the installation, testing and maintenance of electrical installations and equipment.

This equipment enables the team to work with greater safety throughout the various stages of the vehicle's development and testing, helping them meet the technical challenges involved in a highly complex project such as the ecoRV.

The season will conclude with the team's participation in two of the most important events on the Formula Student calendar: Formula Student Spain, taking place at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya from 1 to 7 August, and Formula Student Germany, from 11 to 16 August, regarded as one of the world's most prestigious university engineering competitions.

At SOFAMEL, we are proud to be part of initiatives that bring universities and industry closer together, encourage the practical application of knowledge and contribute to the training of the professionals who will lead the engineering and mobility of the future.

At SOFAMEL, we believe that people are the driving force behind everything we do. That is why, as part of our 30th anniversary celebrations, we held our first Family Day, a very special event designed to share our day-to-day activities and open our doors to those who are also an essential part of this journey: our team’s families.

 


 
It was a day filled with smiles, pride and shared moments that reflected who we are and how we work. 

Throughout the day, families had the opportunity to discover SOFAMEL from the inside through visits to our offices, laboratories, factories and warehouses, accompanied by colleagues who acted as hosts and guides, proudly showcasing every corner of the company and sharing with warmth and enthusiasm what we do and what drives us. 

The day was packed with activities for all ages. Young and old alike enjoyed creative workshops, such as glove painting and bubble making; we experienced moments of excitement and fun on the karting track and at the table football tables; and together we created a very special space: the memory wall, where everyone left their mark on this meaningful day. 

The celebration was rounded off with something for every taste thanks to the food trucks serving crêpes, ice cream, slushies and smoothies, helping to make it a day designed for everyone to enjoy together. 

Above all, this Family Day was a way of highlighting what truly matters: people, shared commitment and the pride of being part of the same project. 

Thank you to the entire team and their families for sharing such a special day with us. 
 
 

We continue adding years,
stories and moments, together.
