We have a wide range of products in each of the areas described, providing solutions to different problems, situations and medical techniques.
We are proud to be able to collaborate in the healing and reduction of human and animal suffering and to be able to support healthcare professionals in their needs.
We work every day with enthusiasm applying ethical principles and values with society and the environment, making available to customers, suppliers, administrations and society in general all our experience and know-how acquired since our inception.
At Lorca Marín we understand that a company is much more than a profit-making economic entity.
We believe that work should be a means where the person is fulfilled both humanly and professionally. Our human team has a great involvement in this noble task and feels linked to the company much more than a contractual relationship. Despite the difficulties of the market and the crisis, we try to maintain a stable staff of professionals with great experience in their work, with an average seniority of more than thirty years.
We are aware that there is an interdependence of all factors and we try to ensure that our economic activity has the least possible impact on the environment.
We know that we are a part of a whole, so we maintain close relationships with our suppliers and we try to be responsible with our social environment, understanding the applicable laws as a starting point to overcome, cooperating with social agents and always maintaining an ethical attitude, as we understand that ethics is not only a moral attitude but also the basis of any social and economic development.
