MiniTec

What MiniTec does

MiniTec España S.L.U. is a privately held Spanish industrial manufacturer founded in 1986 and headquartered in Alcalá de Henares, Madrid, that designs, extrudes, and sells modular aluminum profile systems under the EN-AW-6063 T66 standard, together with the accessories, linear motion components, conveyor systems, and assembly lines used to build structures out of those profiles. Its core product families are Series 30 and Series 45 extruded profiles plus a Special Profiles line, complemented by hinges, joining elements, panel fixings, handles and locks, feet and wheels, sealing profiles, electrical installation accessories, and its proprietary Power-lock quick-release fastener system. Around the mechanical product set it sells linear guides (LM, LR, LB, adjustment units), three assembly-line platforms (FMS, FMS MAX, RMS, RMS MAX, UMS), belt/roller/hinge conveyors, and prefabricated structures such as workbenches and safety protections.

The technology backbone is the slotted aluminum profile geometry itself, which allows structures to be assembled and reconfigured without welding, and is supported by two proprietary free software assets: ICAD Assembler, a CAD tool for project design, parts lists, and standard assemblies, and a mobile Deflection Calculator App for iOS and Android that computes profile deflection from mounting configuration and applied load. Customers can also order custom-cut profiles with per-cut machining fees and access a conveyor configurator. End applications span industrial manufacturing (machinery frames, safety guards, workbenches), automation and robotics cells, hygienic food, beverage and medical equipment frames, and recreational vehicle (camper) construction.

MiniTec generates revenue almost entirely through one-time hardware sales: per-meter profile pricing (e.g., €9.13/m for a 30x30 profile up to €24.92/m for a 60x60x30 profile), per-component pricing on accessories and linear motion parts, and custom quotation on assembly lines, conveyors, and prefabricated structures, with cutting fees charged separately. Its go-to-market is sales-led B2B via its own e-commerce storefront at minitec.es, supplemented by social and content channels (LinkedIn, X, Facebook, YouTube, Instagram, Pinterest) and a newsletter; sales terms in the general conditions explicitly cover Spain and the rest of Europe. It serves industrial manufacturers directly (named customers include J.A. Cubero and Clemessy), with Wörner components integrated into its assembly-line offering under a technology partnership. Revenue figures are not publicly disclosed, and the company has no disclosed external investors, parent, subsidiaries, or public listing.

• RK Rose+Krieger: German manufacturer of aluminum profile systems and linear technology, part of the Phoenix Mecano group. Directly competes with MiniTec in modular framing, linear guides, and conveyor/automation components for European industrial customers.
• Kanya AG: Swiss manufacturer of aluminum profile systems for machine frames, workstations, and enclosures. Closely comparable niche specialist competing with MiniTec for European industrial customers needing modular aluminum framing.
• Item (item Industrievertretungen GmbH): German-founded global market leader in modular aluminum profile systems with the same T-slot/slotted profile architecture as MiniTec. Directly comparable on core product (extruded profiles, accessories, linear motion) and target customer base (industrial manufacturers building frames, machine enclosures, and workstations).

Others

• Phoenix Mecano: Swiss industrial group with aluminum profile systems, linear technology, and enclosures via subsidiaries including RK Rose+Krieger. Comparable on aluminum profile framing but with broader industrial enclosure and contract manufacturing exposure.
