What Alianza Mengual Group does

Alianza Mengual Group, S.L. is a Spanish privately-held specialized hardware distributor founded in 1971 and headquartered in Granollers (Barcelona), operating under the Mengual Ferretería Profesional brand. The company distributes professional-grade hardware for carpentry, interior design, architecture, and furniture manufacturing, carrying over 18,000 product references in permanent stock from premium international manufacturers including Blum, Salice, Dormakaba, Tesa Assa Abloy, Dewalt, Scrigno, Lamello, JNF, and DND Handles, alongside its own-brand Herkönig catalog. It serves an 80,000+ customer base of carpentry professionals, interior designers, architects, construction firms, hardware retailers, and DIY consumers through seven physical branches, appointment-based showrooms in Barcelona, Madrid, and Marbella, and a nationwide e-commerce platform with 24–48 hour delivery across Spain. The business operates a sales-led B2B GTM model with professional registration-based pricing, volume discounts, and 30-day credit terms for commercial accounts (1,500 EUR + VAT minimum annual consumption). Beyond distribution, Mengual offers value-added services including master key system planning (Amaestramientos) via a semi-industrial ProTech Key Cutting Center, and a portfolio of proprietary configurable product lines (Open Frame, Open Doors, Open Closet, Multi Modular, Panel Wood) for specifier-led projects. In 2025 the group acquired Ferretería Bolibar, a 100+ year heritage hardware brand now operating as a retained sub-brand with showrooms in Barcelona's Rambla de Catalunya and the Meet Design Center in Madrid, extending Mengual's reach into the premium architectural hardware segment.
