Maderas Goiriz

What Maderas Goiriz does

Maderas Goiriz S.L. is a privately held, family-owned wood processing and transformation company founded in 1939 in Vilalba, Lugo, Galicia (Spain), currently in its fourth generation of ownership. The company operates two manufacturing facilities — its headquarters in Vilalba and a second site in Santiago de Compostela acquired through the 2015 purchase of the Zubiri factory — producing specialized wooden pallets for the precast concrete industry (Goiriz and Zubiri models) alongside a broader portfolio of pine boards, chestnut and oak timber, squared timber for fruit boxes, and byproducts (chips, sawdust, splinters). Its core technology centers on proprietary assembly methods: the Goiriz double dovetail joint (adhesive-free) and the Zubiri double tongue-and-groove with polyurethane adhesive, both designed to produce dimensionally stable, warp-free pallets for high-cycle vibration in concrete production. The company is PEFC Chain of Custody certified (PEFC/14-32-00083) and markets itself on sustainability, custom-made production, and ~30 years of specialized precast pallet experience, with published technical specifications (795 kg/cm² static flexion resistance, 74,000 kg/cm² elasticity module, 400 kg/cm² compression resistance).

The business operates a direct B2B sales model through a dedicated commercial department, exporting to five continents with active trade show participation at BAUMA Munich, ICCX North Africa, and BATIMATEC Algeria. Revenue streams are one-time product sales (pallets, timber, byproducts) plus a transaction-based timber purchasing service that buys wood from private growers with valuation provided by forestry technicians. The company invested 488,595 EUR in a 600 kW photovoltaic system (partially funded by 122,148 EUR through EU NextGenerationEU via INEGA), avoiding approximately 283.7 tonnes of CO2 annually and supporting buyer ESG mandates. Customer segments are horizontally diversified within B2B: precast concrete manufacturers (primary), fruit packaging manufacturers, and construction/restoration companies — with no named anchor customers disclosed. Pricing is not publicly listed; quotes are issued per specification through the commercial department.
