What ECOMAT does

ECOMAT SL is a privately held Spanish industrial equipment manufacturer founded in 1991 and headquartered in Zarátamo, Bizkaia, Spain. The company designs, builds, and implements custom industrial equipment for waste treatment and industrial cleaning, serving clients in oil & gas, steel/siderurgy, chemical, naval, cement, mining, water consortia, and public infrastructure. Its product portfolio spans three categories: (1) cleaning equipment, including high-pressure units up to 3,000 bar, ADR/ATEX combined cleaning trucks with up to 2,200 m³/hour vacuum capacity, metro cleaning wagons, and vacuum aspiration units; (2) mobile industrial equipment, including automatic tank cleaning systems (TACOR), motor-pump groups, and pneumatic pump units; and (3) modular fixed treatment plants, including centrifugation-based waste treatment, water treatment, catalyst dust aspiration, and acid sludge pumping, built on 20/40-foot container frames for global deployment.

Notable technical differentiators include ATEX certification under Directive 2014/34/UE for explosive atmospheres, a proprietary radio-controlled sludge cleaning robot with excavator-type tracks for refinery lagoon operation, and what is described as the only existing installation worldwide for processing NORM (Naturally Occurring Radioactive Material) contaminated hydrocarbons, delivered to the Takreer refinery in Abu Dhabi. Revenue mechanics are project-based: bespoke equipment is engineered to client specifications, with quote-based pricing covering design, manufacturing, installation, commissioning, and ongoing maintenance. The go-to-market is direct enterprise sales with on-site consultation and engineering-heavy engagements. Geographic footprint includes Spain (domestic base), the United States, Poland, and the UAE, with a named customer roster spanning Tankiac, Ferrovial Servicios, Intecsa Industrial, Asturiana de Zinc, American Zinc Products, ZGH Boleslaw, Garbiker, ASASER, Lisant, and Toysal. ECOMAT operates with 11-50 employees and has no disclosed external funding, institutional investment, or parent company, appearing to be founder-owned and managed.

Core offering

ECOMAT designs, manufactures, and commissions specialized industrial equipment for cleaning, suction, pumping, and waste treatment in hazardous (ATEX) and NORM environments. Its product range includes high-pressure cleaning units, ADR/ATEX combined cleaning trucks, recycling and sewer combined trucks, metro cleaning wagons, aspiration and tank-cleaning equipment, motor and pneumatic pump groups, and full-scale treatment plants (water, centrifugation, catalyst dust, acid sludge, hydrocarbon recovery), complemented by automated and robotic systems and turnkey engineering services.

Product overview

ECOMAT designs, builds, and implements industrial equipment for waste treatment and cleaning, operating as a unified portfolio of mobile equipment and fixed treatment plants. The product range spans three main categories: (1) Industrial cleaning equipment including high-pressure units (250-3,000 bar), combined cleaning trucks (ADR/ATEX certified), metro cleaning wagons, and aspiration equipment; (2) Mobile industrial equipment including tank cleaning units, motor pump groups, and pneumatic pump groups; (3) Industrial treatment plants including centrifugation waste treatment, water treatment, catalyst dust aspiration, and acid sludge handling. Specialized systems include the hydrocarbon recovery system combining sludge robot, reaction tank, and centrifugation module, plus disinfection systems like the robotized nebulizer cannon and disinfection arch developed during COVID-19. All equipment can be certified for ATEX explosive atmospheres, and treatment plants are built modularly in 20/40-foot containers for global transport.
