Venair

What Venair does

Venair is a privately-held Spanish manufacturer of custom silicone hoses, ducting and fluid transfer solutions, founded in 1985 and headquartered in Terrassa, Catalonia, with 251-500 employees and approximately 40 years of operating history. The company designs and produces silicone-based components using reinforcement materials such as aramid, fiberglass and polyurethane, and sells primarily to industrial OEMs and process manufacturers under four end-market verticals: high-performance industry (railway, bus and trucks, marine, industrial vehicles, defence, aerospace), clean energy (PEM fuel cells, electrolyzers, renewable energy, green mobility), biopharmaceutical, and nutrition and personal care (food, beverages, nutraceuticals, cosmetics). Its product portfolio is organized under the Vena® brand and spans railway flame-retardant hoses meeting EN-45545-2, the Vena®PEM family of PEM fuel cell hoses including the 2024-launched UL-94-certified Vena®PEM CELL FLAME, high-temperature aerospace ducting (Vena®HT/HTD), and elastic compensators under the Pharmaloaders line.

Venair operates a B2B custom-manufacturing business model with direct enterprise sales, dedicated engineering support from design through delivery, custom quotation (pricing is not publicly disclosed), and full component traceability. Revenue is generated through both custom single-use and multi-use silicone assemblies matched to specific process parameters (pressure, temperature, fluid compatibility, regulatory requirements) and through a standard catalogue of Vena® SKUs, with a stated 24-72 hour standard delivery window across the European Union. The company holds ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001:2015, IATF 16949:2016 (automotive), ISO 13485:2016 (medical devices) and UNE-EN 9100:2018 (aerospace) certifications, and serves named enterprise customers including Audi, Airbus, Ballard, Novartis and New Flyer. Leadership consists of CEO Miguel Fernandez and CFO Marina Martin; the company is independent, with no disclosed parent entity, funding rounds or institutional investors, and its website is localized into six languages (Spanish, English, German, Italian, French, Chinese), signaling international inbound demand.
