About us

Mission

Having originated in Bolivia as a bitumen manufacturer, Syntex has since become a truly global and diversified company with offices spread across five continents and eight countries. Today our portfolio includes production of not only bitumen and bitumen products, but also coal and coke, chemical fertilizers, decking, as well as the distribution of diesel and petrol. Our products are varied, yet they all have one thing in common – exceptional quality. We make sure that every product and each item complies with the highest international standards and has proper certification.

We are especially proud of and dedicated to bitumen. Our bitumen – conventional and polymer-modified – has proven itself over the years in the construction of highways, bridges, airfields and other critical infrastructure in 30 countries with completely different climates. Currently our bitumen supply capacity is more than 50,000 metric cubes monthly and growing.

However, to be proud is not to be complacent. With markets and customer demands constantly evolving, we strive to develop our business on all fronts: by entering new markets, expanding our product range and investing in new technologies and sustainable growth.
