It's been ten years since Molecor©, Spanish company that has become a leader in the development of molecular orientation technology applied to the conveyance of water under pressure was founded. Molecor© is present on five continents thanks to a revolutionary process that provides efficient and environmentally friendly systems to manufacture Oriented PVC pipes. Its exclusive technology and thousands of kilometers of PVC-O pipes installed worldwide, guarantee ten years of work and continuous improvements that have made the Molecor© TOM® PVC-O pipes the best solution for the transportation of water under pressure; these pipes can be used for irrigation, potable water supply, reclaimed water reuse, industrial networks, fire networks, etc.
Due to the effort invested in the development of the technology and canalisations, Molecor© has achieved a number of milestones of great importance in the sector that have marked turning points and provided great improvements. In 2007, only one year after the establishment of the company, Molecor© presented its TOM® PVC-O pipes DN200 mm and the technology of its Air Based System, a unique manufacturing system to the moment that, besides being highly efficient provides greater safety and cleanliness than other alternatives.

A year later, in 2008, the company had already successfully developed the technology to manufacture PVC-O pipes up to DN400 mm and in 2009 the product certifications N brand (AENOR-Spain) and NF Mark (AFNOR-France) for the manufacture of PVC-O pipes were achieved, certifications that recognize the quality of the TOM® PVC-O pipes manufactured with the Molecor© technology.
During the next five years Molecor© achievements became international benchmarks. Among these milestones it was the production of PVC-O DN500 mm and DN630 mm, the development of Integrated Seal System (ISS+), the transfer to a manufacturing plant with a production capacity of 11,000 tons per year, and the development of technology capable of manufacturing pipes up to DN800 mm, something completely revolutionary that has enshrined the company as the undisputed industry leader.
This history of innovation and development has also been awarded during these ten years of work with different prizes and awards such as Entrepreneur XXI award obtained in 2012. This is an award for the best innovative companies of two to seven years, which recognizes the contribution of profitable and sustainable solutions for society. A year later, in 2013, Molecor© achieved the greatest recognition in the Solvin Awards, competition dedicated to innovation and technological improvements of PVC in different sectors.
Prizes received by Molecor
Most recently, in 2015, the company was awarded as the best "Small and Medium Enterprise of the Year" in the second edition of the CEPYME Awards, which aims to recognize and publicize the work of small and medium enterprises and self-employers, highlighting their work both nationally and internationally and their role as an engine and pulse of the economy.
"We started our journey in 2006 and this gives us the title of favorite sons of the crisis. The change of environment, the uncertainty and the lack of financial resources, sharpened our instinct to think different. And thinking different was not thinking like a micro-SME, which is what we really were, but thinking as an international company. Developing an improper ambition of our size and trajectory, and clinging frantically to innovation as our only rescue."

This year Molecor© will be present at various events worldwide, Smagua, Plastic Pipes and K2016 among others, exposing its latest technology developments and TOM® pipes following its path divulgation of the outstanding features of PVC-O.
Molecor, orienting the future.
