Mecalux Spain

What Mecalux Spain does

Mecalux, S.A. is a Spain-based, privately-held intralogistics technology company founded in 1966 and headquartered in Cornellà de Llobregat near Barcelona. It designs, manufactures, and integrates three complementary product lines: physical storage systems (pallet racking, cantilever racking, mezzanines, drive-in and shuttle racking), automated warehouse hardware (AS/RS stacker cranes, automated pallet shuttles, AMRs, conveyors, and collaborative picking robots), and warehouse management software centered on Easy WMS with modules for distributed order management, execution, control, labor, yard, slotting, analytics, and the Easy AI generative assistant. The Easy WMS platform, supported by 7 R&D centers, manages more than 1,200 facilities across 36 countries and integrates with SAP, Oracle, Microsoft, and Zebra ecosystems.

The company's revenue is generated through a mix of one-time capital sales of racking and automation hardware, recurring Easy WMS software licenses and SaaS subscriptions, and professional services covering installation, integration, training, and lifecycle maintenance. Pricing is quote-based and project-specific, driven by warehouse size, automation scope, and software configuration. Mecalux sells primarily through direct enterprise field sales teams located in 23 countries, supplemented by website-driven lead capture and a network of wholly-owned subsidiaries covering Europe, North America, and South America.

Its customer base consists of large enterprise manufacturers, distributors, and third-party logistics providers across food and beverage, retail, automotive, pharmaceutical, chemical, and electronics sectors, including Nestlé, IKEA Components, Würth, Gerresheimer, Goya, Renault, Electrolux, BASF, Wallbox, and Carglass Slovenia. Strategic alliances with Siemens AG (collaborative picking robots) and MIT's Center for Transportation & Logistics (GENESIS AI simulator, Mecalux Lab) underpin the company's push into AI-native warehouse orchestration and digital-twin-enabled distribution centre design.
