Cartagena is not just a city with history. It is a place where the sea, engineering, industry, and centuries of legacy naturally come together.
With more than 3,000 years of history, it was founded by the Carthaginians in 220 BC and reached its height during the Roman Empire. Today, it remains one of the best-preserved Roman cities in Spain, with archaeological discoveries of enormous value and iconic landmarks such as the Roman Theatre, uncovered only a few decades ago beneath the historic old town.
But Cartagena is much more than an extraordinary past. Its port, its relationship with the sea, and its strategic character have made it, both then and now, a place where industry, energy, technical expertise, and international connection are part of its identity. That link between history, sea, and industry is also part of who we are at SACOME.
Because being from Cartagena means belonging to a city that has learned to build with purpose, to value reliability, and to understand that what truly matters is made to last. A city where Roman roads, thermal baths, the ancient port of Carthago Nova buried beneath the modern city, the House of Fortune, and the
remains of the 3rd-century BC Punic wall still endure. All of it speaks to the same idea: solidity, continuity, and long-term vision.
That is also why blue fits so naturally with our identity: the blue of the Mediterranean, of calm, of trust, and of precision. A colour that not only defines Cartagena’s landscape, but also a way of understanding work done well.
For SACOME, Cartagena is not just a location.
It is a way of thinking. A place that reminds us every day that history, industry, and technical excellence can move in the same direction.
