What Mapex does

Mapex Manufacturing Software Solutions S.L.U. is a Spain-based (Vic, Barcelona) software vendor specializing in Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES) and Manufacturing Operations Management (MOM) for industrial producers. The platform comprises modular components for production control, quality management (MapexQM), computerized maintenance management (GMAO), end-to-end traceability, industrial sequencing, a centralized Control Tower dashboard, an IIoT platform connecting factory-floor equipment, and a browser-based interface (MapexWeb) that supports paperless shopfloor operations. A purpose-built AI assistant, Maik, adds natural-language querying and analytics on top of the MES data layer.

The company serves mid-to-large industrial manufacturers across eight verticals, with food & beverage as the reference sector and additional depth in automotive, aeronautics, chemical & cosmetics, plastics, packaging, metallurgy, and general industrial manufacturing. Named enterprise customers include Borges International Group, Grupo KH, SPB Global, Solera, Igamo, La Farga, and Aciturri. The platform is deployed at 500+ production sites with 50,000+ users in 25+ countries.

Mapex generates revenue primarily through annual MES/MOM software subscriptions licensed per-seat or per-site, supplemented by implementation, configuration, training, and consulting services. Distribution combines direct enterprise field sales, a structured system-integrator and ERP-reseller partner program, and, following the January 2026 acquisition by German ERP provider Proalpha Group, access to Proalpha's European ERP ecosystem and Digital Shopfloor offering, while Mapex continues to be sold as a standalone MES. The company employs approximately 100 people and is GDPR-compliant with an information security posture aligned to Spain's Esquema Nacional de Seguridad (ENS) and the EU NIS2 directive.
