What Máquinas Opein does

Máquinas Opein, S.L.U. (DBA Opein) is a privately held industrial equipment rental and sales company founded in 1995 and headquartered in Arucas, Gran Canaria, Spain. The company operates an 8,000-unit rental fleet spanning construction machinery (telescopic handlers from Manitou and Ausa), tools, modular buildings, maritime containers (20-ft, 9-ft, 8-ft with proprietary armored closures), portable sanitation (standard, VIP, luxury, and PMR-accessible units), event infrastructure (furniture, lighting, fencing, generators), cleaning equipment, and air treatment solutions. Opein differentiates through a "Gestor Integral de Bienes de Equipo" positioning that bundles rental, sale, maintenance, repair, operator training, fuel service, and transport into a single-vendor lifecycle offering, supported by 250+ professionals and 100+ technical and commercial vehicles.

The company generates revenue through multiple streams: usage-based equipment rental (same-day, daily, weekly, 4-week billing cadences with multi-shift pricing), one-time sales of new and second-hand equipment and containers, professional services (maintenance, cleaning, waste management, on-site fuel, transport), certified operator training, and spare parts. Its go-to-market is multi-modal — direct-to-consumer via opein.com with online quoting, sales-led through 13 branches across the Canary Islands, Madrid, Morocco, and Ghana, and event-driven with dedicated event catalogs and solutions. Pricing is quote-based, with location-sensitive online price display and standard tiering of rental hours and excess-use surcharges.

Opein serves seven primary verticals — construction and civil engineering, event organizers, government and municipal entities, professional cleaning companies, industrial and logistics firms, hotels and hospitality, and SMBs/autónomos — with no disclosed anchor customer concentration. The company holds integrated ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and ISO 45001 certifications, is recognized as an ODS Empresas Canarias "Success Case" for SDG alignment, and has secured approximately €807,000 in cumulative public grants from FEDER Canarias, Next Generation EU, and Cabildo de Gran Canaria to fund innovation, internationalization, and sustainability projects. Wholly-owned subsidiaries in Morocco and Ghana extend the model internationally.
