Core offering

ASIMET is a non-profit trade association (gremial) founded in 1938 that represents Chile's metalworking and metalmechanical industry, providing over 200 member companies with specialized services including SENCE training fund administration (OTIC), technical training execution (OTEC), ChileValora-accredited labor competency certification, business consulting, technical-vocational education through LICHAN, technology extension for intelligent manufacturing (CET), legal/HR/environmental advisory, economic studies, and industry representation/advocacy. The association generates revenue through annual membership dues and event attendance fees, serving the unified interests of steel, mining, aerospace, defense, and parts manufacturing companies across Chile.

Product overview

ASIMET is a trade association (gremio) for Chile's metallurgical and metalworking industry, offering member services through multiple specialized corporations and divisions rather than a unified software product. The core service portfolio includes: OTIC Asimet for training administration and SENCE tax credit management; OTEC Asimet for technical training execution; Asimet Asesorías for consulting services; a Labor Competency Certification Center accredited by ChileValora; and ASIMET Corporación Educacional managing the Liceo Industrial Chileno Alemán technical school. Additional services encompass a Technology Extension Center for Intelligent Manufacturing (CET), economic studies and sector reports, industry publications (Revista Metal & Industria), annual events including the Foro Anual de la Industria and Cena Anual, plus various committees and circles addressing specific industry topics like galvanizing, metal structures, and labor issues.

Scale indicators5 records

Recent moves24 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• VDMA (Verband Deutscher Maschinen- und Anlagenbau): Germany's mechanical engineering industry association, the leading international peer in the metalworking/mechanical engineering space. Provides training, certification, standards work and policy advocacy to member companies using the same guild association model ASIMET uses in Chile, but at vastly greater scale.
• SME (Society of Manufacturing Engineers): US-based manufacturing engineering association offering certification, training and technical publications. Comparable to ASIMET's OTEC Asimet training and Competencias Laborales certification activities but serving a broader manufacturing base with international reach.
• Canadian Manufacturers & Exporters (CME): Canada's national manufacturers and exporters association with membership dues, training programs and policy advocacy. Operates the same trade-association model applied to a broader industrial base, parallel to ASIMET's sector-specific gremial role.
• National Association of Manufacturers (NAM): US manufacturers' trade association providing policy advocacy, training and workforce development. Comparable gremial-style association model but serving a much larger and broader manufacturing base than ASIMET's metalworking focus.

Regional players

• SONAMI (Sociedad Nacional de Minería): Chile's national mining industry guild association. Closely comparable gremial structure serving an extractive industrial base with overlapping member companies (e.g., Moly-Cop is a shared member), training programs and government-embedded policy influence.
• Cámara Chilena de la Construcción (CChC): Chile's construction industry guild, applying the same gremial association model with member dues, OTIC training administration, technical schools and policy advocacy. Comparable structure with overlapping membership profiles in metal structures and fabrication.
• CORMA (Corporación Chilena de la Madera): Chilean forestry and wood products industry association. Operates the same gremial model with OTIC-equivalent training services, sector statistics and policy influence, and shares member demographics in adjacent wood-metal industrial categories.
• CONUPIA (Confederación Nacional de la Micro, Pequeña y Mediana Empresa y Artesanado): Chilean confederation representing small and medium industrial enterprises. Comparable gremial membership model targeting a different size segment but overlapping training, certification and government-subsidy services for industrial SMEs.

Direct peers

• SOFOFA (Sociedad de Fomento Fabril): Chile's principal manufacturing industry federation, representing manufacturers across sectors including metals. Operates the same gremial membership model with member dues, training programs, policy advocacy and events, and is the broadest direct peer to ASIMET in Chile.

Emerging players

• World Steel Association (worldsteel): Global steel industry association providing statistics, sustainability programs and policy advocacy. Highly comparable in mission for ASIMET's largest member sub-segment (CAP Acero, Aceros AZA, Acerinox) but international rather than domestic-Chile in scope.
