RMDGroup

What RMDGroup does

RMDGroup is a Spanish-headquartered industrial group specializing in the design, manufacture, and sale of closures and over-caps for wine, champagne, and spirits bottles. Operating under the legal entity RAMONDIN S.A. from Laguardia, Álava, the group serves wineries, distilleries, and beverage producers globally through a portfolio that includes tin capsules, aluminum capsules, complex (aluminum/polymer) capsules, aluminum screw caps under the Inspiral brand, champagne hoods (coiffes) and muselets, and the patented E-CAP — a 100% recyclable, plastic-free two-piece metal capsule that is the only product of its kind on the market. The group sells primarily through direct B2B channels via regional offices in Spain, France, the USA, Argentina, and Chile, reaching customers in over 50 countries with nine production centers located in the main wine, champagne, and spirits markets of Europe, the USA, and Latin America.

The group's technology stack centers on metal closure manufacturing, with proprietary process innovations including water-based, solvent-free inks for tin and E-CAP capsules, and a unified SAP digital platform that replaced legacy ERP systems at the Laguardia central plant and was rolled out across all production centers. Pricing is quote-based B2B with no public price list, and revenue is generated entirely through one-time sales of physical closure products. Production volume across the group reached 3 billion units following the 2020 partnership with Janson Industries, supporting leadership positions in 5 of the top 8 wine-producing countries.

RMDGroup was founded in 1890 and has grown primarily through strategic acquisitions of family-owned closure manufacturers: INESA (Chile, 2017), SETICAP (France, 2017), Janson Industries (USA, 2020), and Mala Closure Systems' industrial assets in the USA (2024). The group is privately held, with no disclosed institutional investors, no public listing, and ownership concentrated among founding/family stakeholders; a dedicated shareholder portal is maintained. Leadership is headed by CEO José Miguel Munilla. Sustainability investments include a €1.5 million photovoltaic installation at Laguardia targeting 32% energy savings. The company has no public-facing technology platform: it offers no mobile app, no public or partner API, and no SDK.
