Euroquímica closed the Lagarto factory in Zaragoza and transferred production to Illescas, in Toledo, as part of an industrial reorganization affecting workers, suppliers, and the local productive history
The Lagarto factory, a traditional brand of cleaning products, ceased operations in Zaragoza, Spain, after more than five decades of operation, as announced in May. Euroquímica decided to concentrate production in Illescas, in the province of Toledo, in a process of industrial reorganization affecting workers, suppliers, and the productive history of the region.
Factory closure ends historic phase in Zaragoza
The Zaragoza unit was closed after more than 50 years of operation. The decision was made by Euroquímica, responsible for the Lagarto brand, as part of an internal shift in the company’s industrial activities.
The company opted to centralize production in Illescas, where the group’s main industrial and administrative structure is already located. The plant is in the province of Toledo and will now concentrate the brand’s operations.

Lagarto production will continue in Illescas
Despite the closure of the historic factory, the Lagarto brand will remain in the market. The production of cleaning products will continue at the Illescas unit, considered more strategic by Euroquímica.
According to the company, the transfer aims to increase operational efficiency and adapt production to new demands in the cleaning products market. The measure is part of a process of modernizing operations.
Workers face a period of uncertainty after factory closure
The closure of operations in Zaragoza affects dozens of employees. The professional future of these workers is still being discussed in negotiations, while the company evaluates measures to mitigate the social impacts of the decision.
In addition to direct jobs, the closure may also affect suppliers, service providers, and companies that have maintained commercial relations with the factory over the years.
Industrial reorganization changes local presence
The closure of the Lagarto factory reflects a movement to concentrate operations in fewer units.
This type of reorganization aims to reduce costs, modernize processes, and increase the competitiveness of companies.
In Zaragoza, the change carries historical weight. The factory has established itself over decades as a local industrial reference and helped strengthen the presence of the Lagarto brand in the Spanish cleaning products market.
