Una rama de la familia Puig sale de Flamasats

Marc Puig Guasch, the current president of Puig, and his siblings have sold their shares in the company that manufactures and sells Clipper lighters and Alpino pencils. The reorganization of shares occurred within Flamasats, the family business focused mainly on Clipper production and distribution.

Consilium, which comprises one of the proprietary product groups of the beauty Puig group, divested its stake to Flamasats, subsequently liquidating the purchased shares. Consilium, consisting of Mariano Puig Planas' children—Marc Puig Guasch (Puig's president), Marian, Daniel, Ana, and Antonio—owned 25% of Flamasats as of the end of the previous year.

Flamasats, which also includes a paper products division with brands like Alpino and Manley, reduced its capital by 21% in March due to the amortization of shares held by Consilium. This resulted in a decrease of 5.9 million euros, bringing Flamasats' capital to 21.9 million euros. Neuquen, the family company of José María Puig Planas (with Xavier and Pere Puig Alsina as leaders), expanded its control over Flamasats. Prior to the share reconfiguration, Neuquen held 44% of the company's capital.

In the new phase, Valldan, owned by the children of Enrique Puig Planas, and Maveor, a company belonging to Manuel Puig Rocha (Puig's vice president), remain partners in the lighter manufacturer. Flamasats closed the previous year with consolidated sales of 131.3 million euros, a 6.7% increase from the prior year. EBITDA surged 23.3%, reaching 31.1 million euros, and net profit attributable increased by 4.9% to 18.2 million euros.

92% of Flamasats' sales came from lighters, while 8% originated from paper products, electronic items, and cigarette paper.

In 2025, Flamasats further diversified its operations with the acquisition of the candle and fragrance firm Velas Martínez Morales and the paper products companies Edicions Additio and Distribuidora Universal.
