What Compañía Auxiliar de Aeronáutica does

Compañía Auxiliar de Aeronáutica, S.L. (trade name CADAMADRID) is a privately-held Spanish precision CNC machining company founded in 2005 and headquartered in Ajalvir, Madrid. The firm manufactures high-specification mechanical parts and components for five verticals — aerospace (including space/satellite programs), aeronautics, defense, telecommunications, and electromedicine — through CNC turning plus 3-, 4-, and 5-axis milling operations. The technology stack is anchored by premium Japanese (MATSUURA, MAKINO) and German (HERMLE) machining centres capable of 6–10 micron tolerances, supplemented by a MAKINO U6 HEAT wire EDM, robotic feeding (LANG ECO 2020), and an in-house metrology suite including DEA GLOBAL LITE and DEA PIONEER coordinate measuring machines with PC-DMIS CAD++ software and ENAC external calibration.

The company holds AS/EN 9100 aerospace quality certification (a prerequisite for supplier status with aerospace primes) and is a member of the Madrid Aerospace Cluster and the AEC Aerospace Committee. Notable commercial credentials include collaboration with PLD SPACE on the MIURA 5 rocket simulator under the European Space Agency's FLPP-LPSR program, and sustained participation as an exhibitor in FEINDEF (International Defense and Security Fair of Spain, 2019/2023/2025), MetalMadrid, and Space Tech Expo Europe.

Commercially, CADAMADRID operates a direct B2B field-sales model with project-specific quotations based on part complexity, tolerances, materials, and volumes; no public price list is available and contracts are typically multi-year. Revenue is generated through custom and semi-custom manufacturing under project-based and long-term supplier relationships, with no intermediary, reseller, or marketplace channels identified. With 11-50 employees and a single ~800 m² production plant, the firm operates as a focused Tier-2/Tier-3 supplier rather than a scaled industrial platform. Growth is organic and self-funded, supported periodically by Spanish regional and national industrial subsidies and EU NextGenerationEU grants for energy efficiency capex.
