A global and diversified company
2006 marked a milestone for us: we were already a global and diversified company, and although our name - Spanish Union of Explosives (Unión Española de Explosivos, UEE) - had great roots and tradition in Spain, it did not convey who we were and wanted to be.
That was when we adopted the name MAXAM and created our Foundation in order to preserve a unique identity and more than a century old legacy that we want to protect.
