JG Automotive

What JG Automotive does

JG Automotive S.A. is a privately held Spanish metal component manufacturer headquartered in Alcobendas, Madrid, operating through wholly-owned subsidiaries INDARABA (Vitoria, CNC machining of cast and forged pieces), LASER MIMAR (Barcelona, sheet metal, welding and boilermaking for railway and industrial applications), JG Bending & Stamping (Madrid, stamping and tube bending, inaugurated July 2025), and JG PROMEC Machining. The company designs, develops, and manufactures precision metal components for automotive OEM and Tier 1 suppliers, as well as industrial machinery, railway, energy, agricultural, lifting, and defense customers. Core production capabilities span forging (cold, hot, up to 32,000t press, ring rolling, microforging), casting (microcasting, aluminum, steel, stainless, nodular, GGG-70, Si-Mo, Zamak, MIM), CNC machining (turning, milling, 5-axis, EDM, grinding), stamping (progressive, fine blanking), sintering, sheet-metal forming, and EN 15085-certified welded assemblies including high-pressure hydrogen storage bottles.

The business runs on B2B enterprise contract manufacturing: customers such as Ford, Renault, MAGNA, John Deere, ZF, CIE Automotive, GESTAMP, and Saint Gobain source serial-production components via multi-year, quote-based contracts with engineering-led sales. The company serves more than 300 first-tier customers and employs 260+ people across 8,000m² of facilities with 750+ tons of annual metal transformation capacity. Distribution extends internationally through the Global Alliance Automotive network (18 international partners, 230 engineers, ~1,720 M€ combined business since 2002) and a strategic relationship with SeAH Group in Korea.

JG Automotive differentiates through a dense certification stack (IATF 16949, ISO 9001, ISO 14001, EN 15085, EWF, NATO NCAGE CODE 883CB, PYME Innovadora) and through AI-enabled manufacturing technology: Lincode-powered visual inspection on machining lines, Weldmetrix real-time weld monitoring, Nanoz AI olfactory BMS leak detection, and a brake particle capture system targeted at Euro 7 compliance. Recent product extensions include an AI breathalyzer ignition-interlock system and hydrogen storage bottles, positioning the company in mobility-safety and clean-energy adjacencies beyond its traditional metal-supply core.
