What Hispano Japonesa de Maquinaria does
Hispano Japonesa de Maquinaria S.L. (HJM) is a privately-held Spanish heavy-machinery distributor founded in 2003 and headquartered in San Román de Bembibre, León. The company distributes and services an integrated portfolio of industrial equipment across 11 international brands — including Hitachi (under the Landcros brand), Bell, Metso, Fuchs, ARJES, Doppstadt, EUREC, Lefort, Dynapac, Pezzolato, and TCI — serving the construction, mining, public works, recycling, forestry, and earthmoving sectors across the Iberian Peninsula through a network of 12+ sales and service centers. HJM holds exclusive Spanish distribution rights for ARJES, Doppstadt, and EUREC (all part of the RBG Group), formalized most recently through an exclusive distribution agreement signed in March 2026.
The company operates three primary revenue streams: one-time machinery sales of excavators, crushers, screeners, shredders, compactors, pavers, articulated dump trucks, and material handlers; usage-based equipment rental; and recurring after-sales services covering preventive maintenance, repairs, spare parts supply, maintenance contracts, and operator training. Distribution is conducted via a direct enterprise field-sales model, with regional offices opened sequentially since 2014 — Azuqueca de Henares (Centro, 2014), A Coruña (Atlántica, 2018), Málaga (Andalucía, 2019), and Barcelona (Cataluña, 2022). A wholly-owned subsidiary, CHR Maquinaria, was founded in 2006 to extend distribution operations from the same León base.
HJM does not develop proprietary machinery technology; its competitive position rests on multi-brand portfolio breadth, exclusive distribution agreements, regional service density, and complementary offerings including a used-equipment marketplace (Ocasión) and a proprietary lubricant line co-developed with Repsol (HJM by Repsol). Legal representation is held by Jose Rafael del Valle Santín, and the company is registered in León, Castilla y León, Spain, as a Sociedad Limitada with no disclosed venture or private equity backing.
