Tecnitest Ingenieros

What Tecnitest Ingenieros does

Tecnitest Ingenieros is a privately-held Spanish engineering firm (TECNITEST INGENIEROS, SL) founded in 1998 and headquartered in Madrid, specializing in Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) systems for industrial clients in aerospace, automotive, railway, naval, and energy sectors. The company develops and manufactures proprietary inspection technologies spanning ultrasonic, radiographic, electromagnetic, and laser-based methods, with particular emphasis on robotic automation and AI-driven defect analysis for Industry 4.0 manufacturing environments. Its product portfolio includes robotic ultrasonic systems (TRITON 10, SpotCraft), immersion tanks, storage tank wall crawlers (CETA), pipeline crawlers, eddy current aircraft wheel inspection (VeeScan), hollow railway axle inspection (Boretest, in Deutsche Bahn certification), nodularity control systems (MatVel), and shearography systems, supported by calibration, consultancy, and Total Quality Plan (TQP) services.

The business model is dual-track. Tecnitest generates revenue through direct, quote-based sales of custom-engineered NDT systems and engineering services to enterprise customers — including CERN, Airbus Defence and Space (Spain), Sabancı University IMC (Turkey), and TOFAŞ (Turkey) — while simultaneously acting as the exclusive Spain distributor for ten international NDT brands (Baugh & Weedon, Parker, Balteau, Efer, ATG, Fuji, DüRR, Visiconsult, SE International, Wilnos). Go-to-market is sales-led, supplemented by channel partner distribution, a small WooCommerce-based e-commerce storefront for standardized accessories, and active participation in international conferences (ECNDT 2023 Lisbon, ECNDT 2026 Verona, National END Congress Valladolid 2024). The firm holds the Innovative SME seal from the Spanish Ministry of Economy and Competitiveness, a granted Spanish patent (ES-2923108_A1) for robotic ultrasonic synchronization, and the EUREKA Label for the ROBUST automotive project (2019), and participates in multiple CDTI-funded R&D consortia under Spain's Next Generation EU recovery plan.
