MORCHEM: RISK ANALYSIS OF ENERGY SUPPLY SHORTAGE
We are in the middle of the first true global energy crisis. MORCHEM has evaluated the situation and the risks to which its 2 plants in Spain might be exposed.
Presently, Spain leads EU with most LNG regasification capacity accounting for 32% of the total EU capacity, and receiving liquefied pressurized gas (LPG) from different origins.
Spain’s gross electricity generation comes from renewable sources, followed by nuclear energy and finally gas with only 17,6%. Thus, the gas shortage has less impact on the electricity production in Spain than in the rest of the EU.
MORCHEM, included in the strategic sector during the COVID pandemic, would be given preference to receive energy supply, as it provides essential services for basic social functions.
Raw material supply: MORCHEM has a wide range of approved suppliers in different geographical areas, having sufficient alternatives to assure production in case of EU suppliers should fail due to energy shortages.

MORCHEM AND BOBST CONNECTING TECHNOLOGY
As technical support is one of the MORCHEM pillars of the value proposition offered to customers, Morchem took the decision to team with BOBST to organise a dedicted technical session for the Morchem Technical and Sales teams in order to enhance and fine tune our laminating skills.
The session took place at BOBST Italia’s Competence Center, on June 9th using a BOBST VISION D 850 laminating machine with our solvent based Morchem XPS 2472 AE + CS-903 and BOBST NOVA SX 550 laminating machine using our solvent free Morchem PL 272 A + CF-74.
The session was as a great success and really enabled our team to dive deep into problem solving knowledge on both the Morchem adhesives and the latest laminating technology as demonstrated by the state of the art BOBST equipment.
The collaboration between BOBST and MORCHEM will continue further by offering the possibility for converting companies to join us at Bobst Italia’s Competence Center at San Giorgio Monferrato in the coming months to organise their own dedicated training sessions and demos using Morchem laminating adhesives in BOBST laminating machines.
We would like to thank BOBST for their cooperation during our visit at their Competence Center in San Giorgio Monferrato.
