Its product portfolio spans handheld length measurers (M series), manual and motorized coilers, semi-automatic and fully automatic shaftless winders (TR/TRG/TRP/TRH series with capacities up to 10,000 kg and 3,400 mm reel diameter), pay-off unwinding machines, K400 reel racks with a patented jaw-safety anti-fall system, and the proprietary SoftWinding software for ERP integration. Named customers include Schneider Electric, Siemens, SNCF Réseau, BRUGG eConnect, TKE and Electro Siluz, reflecting traction in energy, railway infrastructure, cable manufacturing and elevator verticals.

LOIMEX generates revenue primarily through one-time capital equipment sales of custom-engineered machines, with after-sales service, maintenance contracts, remote diagnostics, retrofits and spare parts delivery providing a recurring service revenue stream, and a secondary distribution arm (ISC) selling specialist electrician tools. The go-to-market is sales-led, combining direct engagement with Spanish and large enterprise customers via a multilingual website (6 languages) with quote-request functionality, complemented by a global distributor network that handles local sales, installation and training across 15+ territories. Notable industry events include Matelec trade fair presence and continued engineering investment (16 active engineering projects including fiber optic and automated processing lines). The company is ISO 9001:2015 certified by Bureau Veritas, holds a registered patent on its reel rack safety system, and traces its corporate lineage to TEUSCHER METER (Leipzig, 1920) and TEMETER IBÉRICA (1970).
