Scale indicators3 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Broad incumbents

• MC Mutual: Mutual society with a prevention division that delivers PRL services, health surveillance and training. Overlaps with IMQ's core service lines from a position of national scale and brand.
• Fremap: Major Spanish workplace accident mutual also operating as an SPA in defined regions. Comparable occupational health/PREVENCIÓN capabilities but bundled within a much larger mutual structure.
• Mutua Universal: Large Spanish mutual society that, alongside workers' comp administration, runs its own SPA and occupational health services. Comparable in service mix but broader mandate and nationwide footprint make it an incumbent rather than a direct overlap.
• Bureau Veritas Spain: Spanish subsidiary of global TIC firm; competes for ISO 45001 certification, HSE audits and management system implementation projects that IMQ Prevencion's 'Gestion de la Prevencion' line also targets.
• SGS España: Spanish arm of global testing, inspection and certification group. Overlaps with IMQ's ISO 45001 consulting and HSE-related advisory/audit work as part of a much wider TIC portfolio.

Direct peers

• Quirón Prevención: Spain's largest external prevention service (SPA), offering the same full PRL stack — health surveillance, specialised prevention disciplines, training, and CAE coordination — to a national client base. Closest functional peer to IMQ Prevencion's core SPA offering, but at vastly larger national scale.
• ASPY (Grupo ASPY): National Spanish SPA operating with a comparable service portfolio (workplace risk prevention, health surveillance, training). Direct competitor in the regulated PRL compliance market, frequently offering the same tiered CAE-style document management to companies.
• Cualtis: Spanish SPA formed from the integration of several regional prevention providers. Competes head-to-head with IMQ Prevencion in delivering outsourced PRL, health surveillance and formation across multiple Spanish regions.
• Preving: Multi-regional Spanish SPA offering the same combination of PRL compliance, occupational medicine, training, and HSE consulting; directly comparable service catalog to IMQ Prevencion's Koordinatu + SPA stack.

Regional players

• SOLVING EF: Specialist Spanish consulting and prevention firm focused on workplace safety, fire protection and self-protection plans — areas where IMQ also sells 'Planes de Autoproteccion'. Comparable niche, smaller scale, geographically distant.
