Tempel Group

What Tempel Group does

Tempel Group is a privately held Spanish-headquartered B2B wholesale distributor of electrical and electronic equipment, industrial energy solutions, and industrial engineering/automation products, operating across the Iberian Peninsula, Italy, Latin America, and the United States. Founded in 1978 and headquartered in L'Hospitalet de Llobregat (Barcelona) under the legal entity Tempel, S.A. (CIF A08526345), the company runs four business areas — Energy, Engineering, Consumption, and Services — served through 16 owned offices in cities including Madrid, Valencia, Seville, Bilbao, Lisbon, Porto, Rome, Buenos Aires, São Paulo, Santiago, Quito, Mexico City, Panama, Montevideo, Lima, Bogotá, and Houston. Its product portfolio spans industrial batteries and energy storage, industrial Ethernet switches and routers, ruggedized tablets and laptops, panel PCs and industrial computing, professional measurement instruments, lighting products, and consumer portable power banks under its proprietary Kaise brand (17+ years in market).

The company's core technology positioning centers on industrial automation systems, industrial communication systems, and industrial energy solutions, distributed through long-standing partnerships with global principals including Panasonic (since the 1980s), Moxa, Advantech, AAEON, Getac, Yuasa, Mean Well, Narada, and others. Tempel Group employs 101–250 people, 35% of whom are engineers, and operates a direct B2B sales motion with minimum order thresholds ranging from €150 to €900 depending on product line, plus technical services billed at €50/hour (first hour) and €35/hour (subsequent hours) for warranty and out-of-warranty work. Revenue is generated from three streams: wholesale hardware distribution of electronic/telecommunications equipment and components (hardware sales), customized energy and engineering project execution including auditing and energy efficiency consulting (professional services), and technical support, RMA, and warranty services (professional services).

Beyond traditional distribution, Tempel has begun positioning itself as a value-added channel for higher-margin industrial technologies, notably Edge AI solutions developed jointly with Advantech and promoted through a free eBook released in May 2025. The company maintains a comprehensive ISO certification stack (9001, 14001, 45001, 37001) renewed with SGS in 2026, supporting its ability to bid on large industrial and public-sector contracts across LATAM. Its go-to-market is sales-led and relationship-driven, supplemented by industry events (Auna Partners Days 2025), educational content marketing (Edge AI eBook), social media, and occasional PR (TV L'Hospitalet interview on US tariff impacts). No revenue, funding, M&A, or investor data is disclosed in the source material.
