What COMEXI GROUP does

COMEXI GROUP is a privately held Spanish industrial machinery manufacturer founded in 1954 and headquartered in Riudellots de la Selva (Girona), Spain. The company designs and builds reel-to-reel equipment for the flexible packaging industry, spanning flexographic (F1 Evolution), offset, and digital printing presses; lamination (ML2 Evolution) and coating lines; precision slitting (S1DT) and laser slitting systems; automatic reel handling; and battery electrode cutting solutions. Its core platform architecture integrates physical equipment with the Comexi Cloud digital services platform for production analysis, cost calculation, online ordering (COOL), maintenance assistance, and data export.

The business model is enterprise B2B hardware sales complemented by a recurring aftermarket layer: a 24/7 technical support operation, 90+ local field engineers globally, AR smart-glass remote assistance (93% customer-reported success rate), spare-parts logistics, refurbishment, and a Tech Center (CTEC) providing training, consulting, demos, industrial testing, and turnkey projects. Customer segments are primarily flexible packaging converters serving food, beverage, consumer goods, and industrial end markets, with secondary verticals in battery cell manufacturing and industrial coatings. Go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales through regional HQs in Spain, Miami (serving North America since 1988), Brazil, Thailand, and Mexico, supplemented by participation in major industry events (Interpack, MeetingPack, Labelexpo).

Revenue exceeded €187 million with a global installed base supported by over 2,000 trained professionals and a 2,200+ sqm demonstration center. The company holds no external investment, has two primary Spanish legal entities (COMEXI GROUP INDUSTRIES, SAU as operating entity and COMEXI GROUP, SL as asset management entity), and is led by CEO Diego Hervas Perez alongside founders Manel Xifra Boada and Loreto Pages.
