What Grupo Aluman does

Grupo Aluman is a privately held Spanish industrial company, founded in 1973 and headquartered in Arteixo, A Coruña, that specializes in the design, engineering, prefabrication, and installation of high-performance architectural facades and building envelopes for singular buildings worldwide. The company operates three business areas: Projects (the core facade engineering business covering curtain walls, ventilated facades, modular and stick systems in aluminum, steel, glass, and composite panels), Contract (operating under the Candame sub-brand for hospitality and hotel interior fit-outs), and Living (residential envelope and rehabilitation solutions). All fabrication is centralized at the Arteixo manufacturing facility and shipped globally for on-site installation, with technical validation conducted at Aluman LAB, an in-house testing facility covering wind, water, impact, and seismic performance.

Aluman's revenue is generated through project-based, fixed-price contracts with enterprise clients including property developers, construction firms, architects, government institutions, and corporate owners across more than 30 countries. The go-to-market is direct enterprise sales with technical pre-sales engagement from design phase through execution, supported by participation in international industry conferences (Zak World of Façades, MIPIM) and reference-project marketing. Named customers span Real Madrid, Inditex/Zara, Banco de Portugal, European Commission, Mutua Madrileña, Marriott, Berkeley Group, Iberostar, WPP, Crédit du Maroc, and Tocumen International Airport, demonstrating a diversified enterprise base across sports, fashion, banking, hospitality, government, healthcare, real estate, and aviation verticals.

In 2024, Aluman generated revenue exceeding €126 million (approximately 15% year-over-year growth from €110 million in 2023), employed more than 600 professionals, executed over 250 projects spanning 100,000+ m² of envelopes, and derived 55% of revenue from outside Spain. The company is led by Executive President Manuel Ángel Pose and Director General Rosa Carril, with no external funding rounds disclosed, indicating entirely organic, self-funded growth to date.

Expansion highlights6 records

Broad incumbents

• Schüco International: Major German facade systems manufacturer offering aluminum curtain walls, windows and doors. Comparable materials and high-rise building envelope scope, but operates as a broad-volume systems supplier rather than a bespoke singular-project specialist.
• Hydro Building Systems: Norwegian aluminum-based building systems provider (WICONA, Technal, Sapa brands). Comparable in facade system engineering and European commercial construction footprint, with significantly larger scale and broader product range.
• Permasteelisa (Haworth): Italian-origin global leader in architectural envelopes and interior fit-out, now part of Haworth. Closest large-scale incumbent to Aluman in terms of marquee-project execution and international delivery, with broader scale and a wider product portfolio.
• Reynaers Aluminium: Belgian aluminum systems supplier for windows, doors, curtain walls and sliding systems. Overlapping in aluminum facade systems and European market presence, though more volume-product than singular-project custom.

Direct peers

• Josef Gartner (Permasteelisa subsidiary): German precision facade engineering firm (now under Permasteelisa) specializing in high-end metal and glass envelopes. Comparable heritage, technical depth, and customer base of landmark architects and developers.
• Enclos: US-based specialty facade contractor focused on custom curtain wall and unitized envelope systems for complex commercial buildings. Directly comparable in custom-engineering approach and high-rise landmark project profile.
• Benson Industries: US-headquartered custom curtain wall and architectural metal fabricator. Comparable bespoke-engineering model and project-based delivery for landmark commercial buildings in the Americas.
• Seele Group: German-headquartered specialist in complex architectural glass and metal facades. Most direct peer to Aluman — same premium tier, similar project base (iconic commercial buildings, stadiums, museums) and vertically integrated engineering-to-installation model.

Emerging players

• Yuanda China: Chinese high-rise curtain wall manufacturer with growing international footprint. Increasingly competing for global landmark facade contracts at lower cost points, posing a long-term price-pressure risk for European specialists like Aluman.
• Front Inc. US-based specialist facade engineering consultancy supporting architects on complex envelope design. More focused on engineering services than full fabrication/installation but competes for the same architect-led landmark projects.
