The company

Ortoalresa was born in 1949 as centrifuges manufacturer. 75 years later, it is a pride for us to be a reference in the European manufacturers scene, sharing experiences with our customers worldwide. Hard work, talent, commitment and enthusiasm have always been the life force driving Ortoalresa name to be a synonymous of expertise in centrifugation.

Our goal is not to be just another option, but to be a Company that stands out from the rest, by going beyond the standard. We look for solutions based on innovation and sustainability. This philosophy drives us year after year to be choosen by more and more customers as the best option for vanguard laboratories, avoiding stereotypes and creating personalised environments based on real requirements.

The company is characterized by its integrity, agility, perseverance, excellent service and continuous improvement, always in compliance with international standards of management systems.

Closely related to the above, and in order to adapt the organization policy to the needs of the market, in 2001 Ortoalresa implemented a Quality Management System according to the requirements of the International Standards ISO 9001 , 13485 and 14001. These procedures are periodically reviewed by external audit firms so as to assure that they are properly followed.

In the same manner, we anticipate the entry into force of new regulations and standards, thus offering our users the maximum advantages around their safety and their processes in a responsible way with the environment and people.

Communication is the key tool to present and future, moving the lab concept beyond the lab walls, to do so, Ortoalresa manufactures provide cutting-edge technology for communication between the user, the devices and the manufacturer.

Ortoalresa establishes partnerships worldwide being present in all market segments such as industry, research, biotechnology and environment labs. The resilience of the company moves it to be a pioneer in the introduction of the most sophisticated systems in the regular lab centrifuges redesigning the centrifugation concept beyond just separation.

A family business that aims to integrate our partners, users and associates to create a platform that allows us to offer real solutions.

Our proposal of value

We provide innovative solutions in centrifugation through strategic alliances with our network of collaborators. European manufacturers with very short delivery times.

Solidarity Company

We hold the Empresa Solidaria (Solidarity Company) Seal, which acknowledges our commitment to a more just, equal, and inclusive society by allocating 0.7% of our Corporate Tax to social projects developed by the Third Sector. This seal reaffirms our strong commitment to community well-being, promoting citizens’ rights and combating poverty, social exclusion, and inequality. We hope to continue generating actions that create a positive impact on our society.

Commitment to the SDGs

The need to steer all our actions, both at the corporate and individual level, toward sustainability has led us to implement the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), whose primary objective is to eradicate poverty, protect the planet, and ensure peace and prosperity. The SDGs encompass areas such as education, gender equality, climate action, health, decent work, reducing inequalities, and justice, promoting balanced and sustainable development that benefits everyone without leaving anyone behind.

We actively collaborate with several of these SDGs:

SDG 3: Good Health and Well-being: Our teams are developed to ensure the safety and protect the health of those working in laboratories.
SDG 5: Gender Equality: We promote equal opportunities regardless of gender, fostering policies to ensure the fulfillment of this principle and encouraging employees to work together to support gender equality.
SDG 9: Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure: We invest in technological innovation and responsible industrial development through high-precision equipment.
SDG 12: Responsible Consumption and Production: We promote sustainability in our production chain by optimizing resources and minimizing waste, with the goal of reducing our environmental footprint. We manufacture long-lasting equipment, combating planned obsolescence and encouraging responsible consumption by minimizing the need for frequent replacements.
SDG 13: Climate Action: We reduce emissions and develop efficient technologies to mitigate climate change.

We are working towards a more sustainable, equal, and responsible future.

Where is the difference?

We are what we do

Our eagerness to develop innovative equipment that increases safety, functionality and usability, adapting to the needs of each laboratory, are a series of differences that make us stand out from the rest of the alternatives on the market.

What makes our products different?

Our equipment can be used intuitively by any user, controlling the process according to the sample and obtaining the maximum performance.

This performance is achieved thanks to exclusive innovations such as:

TFT colour touch screens, which in addition to standard functions, also enable alternative functions with a high degree of technical specialisation.

Such as the progressive controllable braking system (PCBS), precise control of the sample temperature, the possibility of modifying work parameters while in operation, the linking of consecutives programmes without the user intervention (linked program), detection of imbalance indicating the position where it occurrs (ULS: unbalance location system), etc.

PCBS: allows the user to have split-second control over the braking time. This system ensures braking without interference in the centrifugation, with 175 ramps which maintain the integrity of the layers after braking, avoiding the homogenisation of the layers after centrifugation.

Gas Release System (GRS), an accessory developed to provide greater security in processes, both for the user and for the lab environment.

Equipment with different temperature control, forced ventilation, refrigerated and heated, which allows the adaptation to a wide range of applications.

Refrigerated: obtained values below 4 °C at maximum speed of any of its rotors. Heated: obtained values up to 80 °C.

A wide range of rotors and adaptors, offering the possibility to develop accessories for specific techniques and needs.
“Multiple” adaptors that allow the use of different types of tubes, either flat or round-bottom.

What makes us different as a company?

Our corporate philosophy not only leads us to manufacture a line of products with their own characteristics, it also spurs us to offer services based on fluid communication with our clients:

Personalised response and advice within 48h, both for commercial service and technical assistance.
Commissioning, solution of incidents, repairs and online technical training.
Specialists in foreign trade, we offer support to our clients during the entire procedure, as we are certified as KC (Known Consignor), which facilitates and reduces the cost of exporting our equipment.

In Ortoalresa, we also believe that is it not enough to be differentiated by our products, we must also defend the philosophy that has led us to grow day by day and which is based on transparency, respect for the environment, teamwork and good internal and external communication.

Specialized
assistance

We listen to you

In Ortoalresa, we understand assistance as a wide-ranging process that encompasses from technical or commercial queries to the development of tools for our users and collaborators, including training and communication.

To achieve this specialised attention, we have developed two areas of action: one around our products and another around our services.

On the one hand: the manufacture of made to measure equipment (OEM) for applications, which due to their characteristics, are not found in standard equipment. Subjecting our products to risk analysis to protect the sample, the user and the environment, while maintaining a traceability that allows us to control the product from its origin until it reaches the user.

We also offer specialised services, such as the installation and commissioning of our equipment, guided by our technical department at all times, training courses for greater knowledge of our products, and telephone technical assistance to solve queries about installation and operation of the equipment. We make the procedures and certificates for calibration and the certification of the installation, operation, product, etc. available to our clients and offer a comprehensive 2-year “no surprises” guarantee on our products, to reinforce the image of excellence we aim for in all our manufacturing processes.

We have a team of specialists in foreign trade, who control the processes from the beginning, to facilitate deliveries, documentation and adaptation to the regulations of the destination country, including any post sales actions the client may require. Within this framework, we have created a process to remain on the KC (Known Consignor) records, thus facilitating and reducing the cost of exporting our equipment.

We procure products and services with high standards of quality, exceptional levels of service, competitive pricing, solid delivery performance, effective after-sales support, and efficient supply chain management.
