Etorki

What Etorki does

Etorki (legal entity ETORKI S.L.) is an independent Spanish industrial supplier founded in 1978 and headquartered in Zamudio, Basque Country, with a large-volume warehouse in nearby Sondika. The company specializes in high-technology abrasive materials and industrial machinery for the metal industry, with secondary coverage of stone, ceramics, glass, and post-processing for additive manufacturing. Its core operations span three categories: (1) industrial abrasives including grinding wheels, cutting and grinding discs, flexible abrasives, blasting media, and superabrasives (diamond and CBN); (2) industrial machinery including abrasive cutting machines, grinding machines, heat treatment furnaces, high-frequency spindles, micro grinders, and portable equipment; and (3) machinery components including die springs, mist collectors, and eco-filters. Etorki also operates an in-house repair service, including a 35-year official after-sales service (SAT) for Nakanishi equipment.

The company combines own-brand manufacturing (Etorki Select, Etorki DiamondCBN, Zirkut, Udala) with multi-decade exclusive distribution rights in Spain and Portugal for premium international partners including 3M/Slip-Naxos (since 1985), Braun Maschinenfabrik (since 2001), Danly (since 2001), EBNER (since 2020), and Nakanishi. Its commercial model is sales-led B2B with a technical sales team that performs on-site process analysis and provides bespoke abrasive and machinery recommendations; pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. Distribution is exclusively direct to industrial customers across the Iberian Peninsula, with no e-commerce or third-party channel presence. Etorki serves enterprise customers in steelmaking, foundry, precision metalworking (automotive, aeronautics, medical, bearings, gears), metal fabrication, and increasingly additive manufacturing, with several relationships exceeding 25 years (e.g., Sidenor, Egasca, Acerosolarra, Gestamp). The firm remains privately held with no disclosed external investors, no subsidiaries, no M&A activity, and no public funding history.
