Values that guide us towards a sustainable and responsible future.

RESPECT

Respect is the cornerstone of all our interactions. We strive to maintain an environment of mutual respect, not only with our employees, customers and suppliers, but also with the environment in which we operate. We encourage honest and direct communication to build strong and lasting relationships, and our commitment to sustainability reinforces this approach by offering reliable and environmentally friendly products.

Dalai Lama: “Respect others and respect yourself, and first of all, respect the environment around you. This is the basis of harmony”.

AUTHENTICITY

We value authenticity as a reflection of who we are, both in the way we act and in our relationships with others. Our decisions are independent and guided by integrity, allowing us to innovate without succumbing to external pressures. Through this approach, we deliver products and services that genuinely represent our values, ensuring that our promises are kept and creating a positive and lasting impact.

Jean-Paul Sartre: authenticity is seen as a very general concept, not attached to any particular political ideology or aesthetic.

INNOVATION

Innovation is key to our business strategy. We see it as a tool to generate value for both our company and our customers. We are dedicated to the continuous improvement of our products, processes and organizational practices. With innovative initiatives such as AGIS, Evo and Atarcover, we constantly seek new ways to adapt to market demands and offer efficient and customized solutions, with the customer always at the center of our actions.

Eric Ries: “Innovation is the process of turning ideas into products that generate value.”

Our History: Local Commitment and Global Impact

Atarfil, a family-owned company with industrial origins in Granada, has grown from its roots in a strategic enclave with more than 25 centuries of history in agriculture, waste and mining in Andalusia.
