Entecnia Consulting

What Entecnia Consulting does

Entecnia Consulting S.L. is a privately held Spanish engineering services firm founded in 2009 and headquartered in Pamplona, specializing in the design and customization of vehicle systems and components, with deep technical focus on braking, suspension, frame, and powertrain subsystems. The company delivers project-based engineering services to four primary customer segments: OEMs, motorsport teams, component suppliers, and aftermarket companies, covering the full lifecycle from concept design and CAE analysis (FEA, CFD, Fatigue, NVH, Thermal, Optimization) through prototyping, testing, validation, and industrialization support. Beyond services, Entecnia has developed and patented a portfolio of proprietary hardware products (eVP and eVP Twin electric vacuum pumps, EPB actuator, CBS valve, ARSAV brake particle absorber, eBike integrated master cylinder) and software tools (EDT electric booster simulation, Vehicle Sizing App), protected by European, Chinese, and Indian patents. The company also participated in the MOSIC consortium (2020-2023), co-developing a last-mile mobility system combining a ground vehicle with a hydrogen-powered aerial vehicle.

The firm operates through wholly-owned engineering subsidiaries in India (Gurugram), China (Shanghai), and the United States (Novi, Michigan), with an additional engineering presence in Germany, enabling global delivery alongside the Spanish headquarters. Entecnia holds TISAX Level 3 certification (2022), qualifying it for sensitive outsourced work in the automotive ecosystem. Revenue is generated primarily through professional services engagements on a custom, project-by-project basis, with no publicly disclosed pricing or contract values. The company is bootstrapped: the only known external funding is a 2015 EISMEA grant of approximately $56,511, and there is no parent company or institutional investor identified in the source data.

Day-to-day operations are led by a small named management team: CEO Javier Sanz, CTO Carlos Erviti, APAC-COO Eduardo Beitia, Product Development Manager Maria Villanueva, and CAE & SW Manager Sergio Perez. Customer disclosures skew toward small and early-stage mobility companies (LAPA Electric, Silverback Mobility, LIUX) and mid-sized enterprises (ESFICO, Speedloop Auto), with no large OEM or Tier-1 logo publicly named. Overall, Entecnia is best characterized as a niche, product-aware engineering services boutique with global delivery capacity, deep braking/suspension domain expertise, and a strategy of productising proprietary know-how alongside core service work.

Direct peers

• EDAG Engineering: One of the largest independent automotive engineering services providers in Europe, offering vehicle and module development across chassis, powertrain, and electric systems. Directly comparable to Entecnia in service scope, OEM customer base, and CAE-led delivery model, but at vastly greater scale (1,000+ engineers).
• AVL List GmbH: Austria-based engineering services and technology company focused on powertrain, chassis/braking, and vehicle development with strong CAE and simulation capabilities. Directly comparable to Entecnia's CAE-led, braking-and-suspension-heavy engineering offering.
• Segula Technologies: French-headquartered global engineering services group with a major automotive practice covering vehicle design, chassis, and powertrain. Comparable in services mix and customer base, with stronger manufacturing engineering depth and a far larger global headcount.
• Ricardo plc: UK-based engineering consultancy with a long-standing vehicle engineering, powertrain, and braking systems practice serving global OEMs. Comparable service portfolio and CAE/simulation capabilities, with a deeper motorsport and niche-vehicle heritage.
• IAV GmbH: German automotive engineering services provider covering vehicle development, powertrain, and chassis systems, with a heavy CAE and simulation focus. Overlaps directly with Entecnia's braking, suspension, and full-vehicle integration services.
• FEV Group: Global engineering services provider with strong powertrain, vehicle, and braking-system expertise, serving OEMs and Tier-1s. Direct comparable in core competency (braking, chassis, powertrain engineering) and customer profile, with significantly broader scale and global footprint.
• Bertrandt AG: German automotive engineering services firm specializing in vehicle development, electronics, and chassis systems for OEMs and Tier-1 suppliers. Closely aligned with Entecnia's braking/suspension and full-vehicle engineering focus, with overlapping customer set among European OEMs.

Broad incumbents

• Brembo: Global Tier-1 supplier and manufacturer of braking systems, calipers, and discs for OEMs and the aftermarket. Comparable on the product side (brake system components, aftermarket solutions) but operates at manufacturing scale many orders of magnitude larger than Entecnia's services-plus-IP model.
• AKKA Technologies: European engineering and technology consulting group (now part of Capgemini) with broad mobility, aerospace, and industrial services. Comparable in automotive engineering services, though its portfolio extends well beyond Entecnia's braking/suspension niche.

Regional players

• Alten: European engineering and technology consulting firm with a strong automotive and mobility practice across vehicle systems, electronics, and embedded software. Comparable engineering-services business model and European OEM customer overlap, though it competes primarily in France and Northern Europe.
