Sorigué

Sorigué

The group was built by Julio Sorigué Zamorano, who died in August 2025, and operates across six business lines: water, city services, infrastructure and materials, building, industry, and energy. Ultimate control sits with J&J Inversiones 2020, S.L.U., while Ana Vallés — his niece — has led the firm and its philanthropic foundation since 2011. The business spans urban maintenance, waste management, asphalt production, and industrial facility management, with manufacturing facilities such as the La Plana del Corb complex in Balaguer. Deployment flows through the group’s own engineering and operating capabilities, not a third-party fund structure. In energy, Sorigué builds and runs photovoltaic parks and energy-efficiency retrofits. Its water division has four decades of equipment manufacturing, with projects executed in more than 30 countries. Industrial services include maintenance for petrochemical, chemical, and nuclear installations. The firm co-invested through Banca March’s co-investment program, and its known investment posture targets early-stage ventures repeatedly, per Altss research. In 2026 the group piloted a green-hydrogen electrolysis unit — project RES2H2 — at the Montornés del Vallés wastewater treatment plant it operates, in partnership with ICFO and Apria Systems. No public AUM or headcount figure is available. Ana Vallés serves on the board of the Institute for Advanced Architecture of Catalonia, is a patron of the Fundación Princesa de Girona, and participates in the Women Action Sustainability network. The firm’s philanthropic arm, Fundació Sorigué, houses the PLANTA contemporary art collection in Balaguer, which includes works by Juan Muñoz and Bill Viola. In April 2026, Sorigué presented asphalt-innovation findings at the Jornadas de Firmes in Gijón, reinforcing its seven-decade presence in infrastructure materials. Sorigué blurs the line between operator and allocator — it invests in energy transition and water-tech ventures by putting its own engineering resources and balance sheet behind pilot projects, rather than participating as a passive limited partner. That structure makes it a potential co-development partner for startups needing real-world testing environments, not just a check-writer.
