Cedrion

What Cedrion does

Cedrion is a Spain-based private technology company, founded in 2017 and headquartered in Leganés (Madrid) with a secondary office in León, that designs and produces solid-state cooling devices for high-performance electronic components. Its core technology uses the corona discharge effect to generate ionic wind, enabling bladeless, zero-moving-parts cooling systems that the company claims deliver 50% reductions in weight, volume, and energy consumption compared to conventional fan-based solutions. The product portfolio includes the Cedrion solid-state cooling platform, the Kirion plasma-based air purification line, and the PLASM4BIO indoor disinfection device protected by an EU-granted patent with PCT extension in the EU and US.

The company operates a B2B enterprise sales motion targeting electric vehicle manufacturers (Mercedes-Benz, Valeo, Antolin), aerospace and defense firms (Safran, MBDA, Indra), and emerging verticals in data center cooling and agricultural plasma applications. Revenue is generated through custom engineering solutions, collaborative R&D projects, and the sale of cooling and air purification products, with no publicly disclosed pricing. A significant portion of operating capital is sourced from non-dilutive public funding, including ESA-BIC, Horizon 2020, FEDER, RIS3, CDTI MISIONES, Industrial Doctorates, SME Instrument Phase I, and FUTTA/EUROfusion programs.

Cedrion is led by co-founders Enrique Medina (CEO) and Héctor Puago (CTO), supported by a 17-person multidisciplinary team including PhD engineers in fluids, chemistry, and biology. The company holds ISO 9001 certification, maintains active research collaborations with Universidad de León, Polytechnic University of Madrid, and Universidad Carlos III de Madrid, and has received multiple industry recognitions including the 2020 Hello Tomorrow Global Challenge (Aeronautics Track) and South Summit Industry 4.0 finalist status.
