The Uriach Foundation is beginning a new chapter with the aim of strengthening its role as a vehicle for the company’s social, educational and cultural impact, promoting initiatives aligned with Uriach’s purpose and its commitment to generating a positive impact on society.

This new momentum is accompanied by a renewal of the Uriach Foundation’s Board of Trustees, which will include Oriol Segarra, Zina Safer and Alicia Espriu as representatives of the company. On behalf of the Uriach family, Julia Uriach and Juan Antonio Uriach, members of the sixth generation, will join the Board, alongside the representatives of the fifth generation, who were already part of this governing body.

The Foundation would like to sincerely thank Javier Navarro and Josep Antoni Bombí for their commitment, dedication and all the work carried out over the years as members of the Board of Trustees. Their involvement and support have been essential in accompanying the Foundation’s journey, contributing their experience to consolidate its activity and its role within the company.

With this new configuration, the Uriach Foundation reinforces its commitment to continuing to contribute to people’s wellbeing by promoting initiatives connected to Uriach’s values, purpose and legacy.

As part of the Sant Jordi’s Day celebrations, the Uriach Foundation once again held its traditional book contest, an initiative aimed at Uriach employees to promote reading and share content related to holistic health, well-being and healthy living.

In this edition, several titles related to nutrition, rest, emotional management, well-being and natural health were raffled, reinforcing the Foundation’s commitment to sharing knowledge and habits that contribute to a healthier life.

Uriach also held a solidarity roses initiative during the day at the Sant Cugat office, in collaboration with Fundació Aura, an organisation that works to promote the social and labour inclusion of people with intellectual disabilities.

Through these activities, Sant Jordi became an opportunity to share culture, health and solidarity, strengthening the commitment of Uriach and its Foundation to initiatives with a positive impact.

Con motivo de la Diada de Sant Jordi, la Fundación Uriach volvió a sumarse a esta celebración con su tradicional concurso de libros, una iniciativa dirigida a los colaboradores y colaboradoras de Uriach para fomentar la lectura y acercar contenidos vinculados a la salud integral, el bienestar y la vida saludable.

En esta edición se sortearon diversos títulos relacionados con la alimentación, el descanso, la gestión emocional, el bienestar y la salud natural, reforzando así la voluntad de la Fundación de divulgar conocimientos y hábitos que contribuyan a una vida más saludable.

Asimismo, Uriach llevó a cabo durante la jornada una acción de rosas solidarias en la oficina de Sant Cugat, en colaboración con la Fundació Aura, entidad que trabaja por la inclusión social y laboral de personas con discapacidad intelectual.

Con estas actividades, Sant Jordi se convirtió en una oportunidad para compartir cultura, salud y solidaridad, reforzando el compromiso de Uriach y de su Fundación con iniciativas de impacto positivo.

Last Thursday, April 16, the Uriach Foundation took part in a Uriach event held at the Palau de la Música Catalana, which brought together 125 pharmacists from Catalonia and Andorra for a day devoted to presenting the company and its history.

The event began with a visit to the Palau de la Música Catalana and continued with a session featuring speeches by Joaquim Uriach, Company Board Member and President of the Palau de la Música Catalana; Felipe López, Iberia Country Manager; Sylvia Casas, Head of Sales for Catalonia; and Judit Entrena, representing the Uriach Foundation.

The day also included a very special musical segment, with a short concert by the Cor de La Salle Comtal, part of Fundació Vincles, and a cello performance by Uri Català, from Taller de Músics.

This event helped bring the company’s history and values closer to attendees in an emblematic setting closely linked to the country’s cultural heritage.

The Uriach Foundation, in collaboration with Uriach, took part in the sixth edition of Unique Experiences, an initiative organised annually by Sant Cugat del Vallès City Council to bring local residents closer to the town’s distinctive companies, institutions and projects.

During the event, we welcomed a group of visitors to our facilities who were interested in learning more about who we are, what we do and our history. The visit gave attendees the chance to discover our day-to-day work, our brands and products, as well as enjoy the immersive Uriach Virtual Gallery experience.

Our participation in Unique Experiences was an excellent opportunity to share our project with the local community, open our doors to the public and continue bringing the reality of Uriach and the Foundation closer to new audiences.

On March 12 and 13, the 5th Nutraceutical Conference, titled “Bioactive Compounds and Nutraceuticals”, was held in Tarragona and organised by the Uriach Chair in Nutraceuticals. The event brought together researchers, professionals and students to discuss the latest developments in the sector.

The programme combined different lectures and opportunities for exchange focused on bioactive compounds, functional ingredients and nutraceuticals, consolidating the conference as an essential meeting point for sharing knowledge and fostering new connections between the academic and professional worlds.

One of the highlights of this edition was the session dedicated to bioactive compounds in menopause, which sparked great interest among attendees. The topic of women’s wellbeing and health was undoubtedly one of the most well-received themes of the event.

The conference featured the participation of Alba Domínguez, Innovation Senior Director, in the opening session, and Rosa Raventós, Consumer Product Development Director, in the award ceremony for the best scientific posters.

With this fifth edition, the Nutraceutical Conference continues to grow and strengthen its position as a leading forum for advancing knowledge, research and outreach in the field of nutraceuticals.

As part of the activities of the Uriach Chair in Nutraceuticals, during the month of February, professionals from different Uriach departments took part in the course “Functional Foods” within the official Master’s in Nutrition and Metabolism (URV-UB), aimed at students from the Faculties of Chemistry in Mallorca and Tarragona.

During these sessions, students gain first-hand, highly practical insight into how the strategy for an innovative product is conceived and developed, following all the necessary stages through to its market launch. Key areas covered include: innovation (led by Alba Domínguez and Anna Fortuny), product development (led by Elena Quintanilla), project management processes (led by Marta Castiñeira), regulatory affairs (led by Marta Graupera), and quality control (led by Cristina Espada).

These classes are not only essential for the Master’s students, but they also reinforce the Uriach brand as a benchmark in the field of natural products and highlight the work of the Uriach Foundation as the entity responsible for the Chair.

From February 9 to 23, 2026, the Uriach Foundation presents the exhibition “Uriach Through the Senses” in the showroom at the Sant Cugat facilities.

Through the five senses, the exhibition invites you on a journey through Uriach’s evolution and some of its products, revealing how sight, smell, taste, touch, and hearing have been, and continue to be, a very natural way to better understand wellbeing and health. The exhibition also connects this journey with the history of the health sciences, from the earliest knowledge to today’s perspective on care.

A perfect opportunity to rediscover our heritage from an original and different perspective.

The Uriach Foundation is taking part once again in the 5th edition of Unique Experiences, organised by the Sant Cugat del Vallès City Council.

On 19 March 2026, you’ll be able to visit us to learn about Uriach—Europe’s leading company in natural health products—and discover more about its history through a virtual reality experience.

In addition to the Uriach Foundation, this year’s programme will include many local companies and institutions, offering a range of guided visits.

A few days ago, Mr. Xavier Lluch donated the General catalogue of drugs, chemical and pharmaceutical products, pharmaceutical specialties and mineral waters. J. Uriach y Cia. Barcelona, 1912.

This is a work of notable documentary and historical value, which will be incorporated in the coming days into the archives of the Uriach Foundation. With this addition, the collection strengthens one of its most distinctive holdings: more than one hundred commercial catalogues from the Uriach company, covering a chronological span from 1864 to the present day.

These types of publications are a particularly valuable source for understanding the evolution of products, technical and advertising language, and changes in healthcare and consumer practices in each period. In addition, they help preserve and highlight a direct testimony to Uriach’s historical development in Barcelona at the beginning of the 20th century.
