Sorigué

Sorigué

Sorigué was founded by Julio Sorigué Zamorano and has evolved over seven decades from a Lleida-based construction firm into a diversified industrial group operating across water management, urban services, infrastructure, building, materials, and energy. The group remains under family control through the holding company J&J Inversiones 2020, S.L.U., with Ana Vallés Blasco serving as President since 2011. The underlying wealth derives from large-scale public and private infrastructure contracts, quarrying and asphalt production, and industrial maintenance for the petrochemical and nuclear sectors. The group's investment strategy operates separately from its core contracting business. Sorigué participates in early-stage corporate venturing, deploying through the Banca March Co-investment Program to gain exposure to technology that can be integrated into its operating divisions. Sectors of interest include green hydrogen — evidenced by the RES2H2 pilot project at the Montornés del Vallés wastewater treatment plant with ICFO and Apria Systems — photovoltaic energy, and efficiency retrofits for industrial facilities. Geographically, operations and investments concentrate in Spain, with projects flagged in Barcelona, Madrid, Valencia, Tarragona, Seville, and Alicante. The group maintains a network of owned industrial assets including the La Plana del Corb complex in Balaguer and commercial headquarters in Lleida, Barcelona, and Madrid. Its cultural arm, Fundació Sorigué, holds a contemporary art collection featuring works by Juan Muñoz and Bill Viola displayed at the PLANTA project in Balaguer. Ana Vallés serves as a patron of the Fundación Princesa de Girona and sits on the board of the Institute for Advanced Architecture of Catalonia. In March 2026, the group began maintenance contracts for 65 educational buildings and 11 emergency-services facilities in Alicante. Sorigué's structure separates a cash-generating industrial contracting business from a venture portfolio designed to pull innovation into its own operations. Unlike a conventional family office that allocates to external funds, Sorigué co-invests alongside a banking partner to vet and test technology with direct line-of-sight to deployment in its own water plants, asphalt facilities, and energy projects — making the operating company both the LP and the first customer.
