Ilerspray, the Lleida-based company innovating in the aerosol sector with successful formulas

La Vanguardia 24/04/25. Ilerspray, the Lleida-based company innovating in the aerosol sector with successful formulas. From car care to home fragrance, including cosmetics and insecticide formulation: this firm's products stand out for their effectiveness and commitment to the environment.

From its facilities in Lleida, Ilerspray has spent over a decade developing and manufacturing a wide range of aerosols covering everything from car care products to home air fresheners, as well as a cosmetics line.

Although the company was founded in 2014, its history dates back to 1968, when the local firm Lebo began manufacturing aerosols and successfully positioned itself with a flagship product for car maintenance. Decades later, after the production plant closed in 2013, a group of former employees decided to take up the legacy and create Ilerspray.

“We had all been Lebo employees, so we had extensive knowledge of the aerosol sector and the market,” explains Jaume Castellà, one of the company's partners.

In its early days, Ilerspray focused on third-party manufacturing, but they soon realized that many customers were returning to them seeking the quality they knew. Thus, their own product line was born, with LE-BRILL for the automotive sector and APP for the home.

Over time, they have continued to expand their catalog, incorporating a cosmetics line and working on new developments such as insect repellents and a range of insecticides, in addition to expanding their aerosol distribution network.

The key to their success lies in the quality of their formulas, many of them inherited from their previous stage. “We have come across brake cleaners where our product actually removes dirt, while the competition simply uses pressurized gas. In the case of air fresheners, our formulation makes the fragrance last much longer,” the company explains.

Another differentiating aspect of Ilerspray is its commitment to sustainability. “An aerosol is a 100% recyclable product from day one. 95-98% is metal and the rest are plastics that, with proper use, can also be recycled,” they state. Furthermore, the sector has evolved towards the use of more environmentally friendly gases, moving towards increasingly ecological solutions.

Looking to the future, the company aims to consolidate its position in the home and institutional fragrance segment, as well as in cosmetics with high value-added products. Their products can already be found in supermarkets such as Plusfresc, Coviran, Coaliment, Spar Fragadis, Pepco, Family Cash, and they are expanding into new distribution networks. They also have an online store where they offer all their products.

Despite the challenges, Ilerspray continues to demonstrate that with experience, innovation, and a good product, it is possible to carve out a niche in the market without losing the essence of a local company. Their story is that of a group of professionals who knew how to reinvent themselves and who, far from settling, continue to seek new ways to improve and grow.
