Iberapa / Iberica de Aparellajes

What Iberapa / Iberica de Aparellajes does

Iberica de Aparellajes, S.L. (trading as Iberapa) is a Spanish, family-owned manufacturer of medium- and high-voltage electrical distribution equipment, founded in Massamagrell, Valencia in 1970 and operating with 101–250 employees across facilities in Valencia, Toledo, and Argentina. Its portfolio spans four product families: overhead distribution line equipment (silicone and porcelain insulators, IA780 SF6 load-break switches, vacuum reclosers, vertical disconnectors, expulsion cutouts, ZeusProtec polymer-housed lightning arresters, MV fuses); compact and modular MV switchgear (IA500 sealed-for-life SF6 cells, SF100 modular air-insulated cells up to 36 kV); the Iberpac line of prefabricated transformer centers (modular, compact, and underground configurations with integrated LV panels and transformers 50–2,500 kVA); and HV substation components (column insulators, bushings up to 72.5 kV, vertical disconnectors).

The company makes money primarily through direct enterprise sales of capital hardware to electric utilities (with Iberdrola / i-de as flagship customers participating in Iberdrola's EUR 100 million Plan Il·lumina), industrial customers, renewable-energy developers (wind, solar PV), and railway electrification projects. Distribution runs through a direct field-sales force in Spain, commercial delegations abroad, and the wholly-owned Iberapa Argentina subsidiary. The company sustains technology leadership through sustained R&D co-financed by regional and EU public programs (CDTI, IVACE, FEDER, AVI), including the recently completed ZERO SF6-free medium-voltage switchgear (vacuum interruption, 2025) and the SensoCeT intelligent sensor system for transformer centers developed in collaboration with i-de (Iberdrola group); the Nuventura GmbH partnership (Oct 2023) adds SF6-free primary GIS capability up to 36 kV. Customer mix is concentrated in regulated European and South American utility channels rather than high-volume SMB.

Core offering

Iberica de Aparellajes (Iberapa) designs, develops, and manufactures medium and high voltage electrical distribution equipment including compact switchgear cells (IA500), modular air-insulated switchgear (SF100), prefabricated transformer centers (Iberpac), vacuum reclosers, SF6 load break switches, disconnectors, cutouts, polymeric insulators, lightning arresters, and medium voltage fuses. The company provides turnkey substation solutions integrating its own medium voltage switchgear with transformers and low voltage panels, including its own concrete plant for customized prefabricated buildings, and offers engineering-to-measure solutions for wind farms, solar PV, railway electrification, and industrial applications.

Product overview

Iberica de Aparellajes (Iberapa) is a Spanish manufacturer of electrical power distribution equipment with over 50 years of experience. The company develops and manufactures solutions for medium voltage (MV) and high voltage (HV) applications, including overhead distribution lines, transformer centers, and substations. The product portfolio is organized into four main categories: (1) Overhead Distribution Lines covering line insulators (polymeric suspension/guy/pin types, porcelain bushings, glass chains), load break switches (SF6-insulated IA780 with EXARC rotary interrupters), vacuum reclosers, disconnectors, cutout fuse switches, ZeusProtec distribution lightning arresters, and MV fuses (DIN/UTE formats); (2) Transformer Centers featuring Iberpac prefabricated solutions in modular, compact, and underground configurations, including transformers (50-2500kVA, up to 36kV) and LV distribution panels; (3) Compact and Modular Switchgear including IA500 compact SF6-insulated sealed cells (12-24kV, up to 5 functions) with remote-controllable versions and SF100 extensible modular air-insulated systems (12-36kV); (4) High Voltage Substation Equipment covering vertical disconnectors and column-type support/bushing insulators (up to 72.5kV). The company also offers special application solutions for wind power, solar PV, railway electrification, industrial, and utility applications, plus strategic partnerships for SF6-free technology (Nuventura dry air GIS cells) and digitalization add-ons (SensoCeT sensors, AvanProtec remote management, ZERO SF6-free switchgear).
