What Artepref does

Artepref S.A. is a Spanish industrialized construction company founded in 1996 in Aranda de Duero, Burgos, specializing in prefabricated concrete building systems. The company designs, manufactures, and installs structural elements (flat roofs, gable roofs, floor systems, and enclosure panels) for industrial, commercial, logistics, agroalimentary, sports, education, and government buildings, primarily in Spain with active project delivery in France and Portugal. Its core product portfolio comprises four proprietary structural systems—Artwind (flat roof), Artlum (flat roof/floor), Delta (gable roof up to 52 m spans), and Jácena (versatile beam system)—complemented by Forjado Viga TT beams, hollow-core (alveolar) slabs, and a range of prefabricated wall panels with both standard and exclusive finishes such as Corten Oxide and Travertine Marble.

Artepref operates a full-lifecycle, project-based business model: an in-house technical office studies each project to specify the optimal structural system, components are factory-prefabricated under ISO 9001/14001/45001 and CE-marked quality controls, and the company handles on-site assembly with a dedicated after-sales function. Revenue is generated through per-project contracts rather than standardized pricing, with project scopes ranging from small builds (2-week assembly) to large industrial and logistics facilities (up to 66,000 m²). The company is majority-owned by Holcim (54% acquired January 2024) and sits within Holcim's Solutions & Products segment, gaining access to low-carbon cement R&D and broader European distribution while retaining its brand, legal identity, and management under president Gerardo de la Calle Ortega.

As of 2024, Artepref operates with a headcount in the 250-300 range from a single manufacturing and headquarters site in Aranda de Duero. Its competitive positioning rests on large clear-span capability (up to 52 m), reduced structural depth (75-110 cm vs. conventional 220 cm) yielding 9-12% HVAC energy savings, rapid assembly cycles, certified sustainability credentials (EPDs, Energy Class A achievable), and multi-decade client relationships across major Spanish enterprises and public-sector clients.

Core offering

Artepref designs, manufactures, and installs prefabricated concrete building systems for industrialized construction, covering the full lifecycle from technical study and design of structural elements (roof, floor, and wall systems) through factory production to on-site assembly. The company sells proprietary roof systems (Artwind, Artlum, Delta, Jácena), floor systems (Forjado Viga TT, Placa alveolar), and enclosure panels with exclusive finishes to industrial, commercial, logistics, agro-food, retail, sports, education, and government building projects primarily in Spain, France, and Portugal.

Product overview

Artepref offers a comprehensive portfolio of prefabricated concrete building systems for industrialized construction. The core product line centers on four main structural systems: Artwind (flat roof), Artlum (flat roof/floor), Delta (gable roof), and Jácena (beam system), complemented by Forjado Viga TT and Placa alveolar floor systems. These structural systems are paired with a range of prefabricated concrete wall panels offering various finishes including smooth, washed, sandblasted, oxide, and travertine-textured options. The company serves industrial, commercial, and logistics building construction across Spain, France, and Portugal.

Products and services

• Artwind Flat Roof System Innovative flat roof system developed exclusively by Artepref, available in 75 cm and 110 cm heights (vs. conventional 220 cm), reducing non-usable building height and air volume to climatize by 9-12%, enabling more natural light with fewer skylights, and featuring a fully smooth uniform finish with independent pillar support that adapts to any layout. Sold to enterprise and public-sector builders of industrial, commercial, and logistics buildings.
• Artlum Structural System High-performance structural system for flat roofs or floor slabs, available in different geometries (height, width, length). Achieves large spans with less structure, reduces foundation costs, requires no negative reinforcement, facilitates installation routing, offers high fire resistance, and enables large cantilevers. Artlum 90 reaches 25 m span at 450 kg/m² usage load. Sold to enterprise builders of industrial and infrastructure projects.
• Delta Roof System Traditional gabled roof solution using Delta beams with 8-10% slope, allowing placement of different types of skylights for natural lighting and enabling Delta spans up to 52 m. Sold to enterprise and public-sector builders of industrial and logistics facilities.
• Jácena I-beam Roof System Versatile I-beam cover system for large spans, adapting to project slope and roof type requirements, with a constant cross-section beam available in heights from 60 to 140 cm. Sold to enterprise and public-sector builders of industrial, logistics, and commercial buildings.
• Forjado Viga TT (TT Beam Floor System) Beam system for large overloads with variable geometry, used to cover large surfaces with heavy load requirements in projects such as Bodegas Protos. Sold to enterprise and public-sector builders of industrial, agro-food, and logistics facilities.
• Placa Alveolar (Hollow-Core Slab) Alveolar (hollow-core) slab floor system that adapts to any slab need, used to create intermediate floors in industrial, commercial, parking, and logistics buildings. Sold to enterprise and public-sector builders.
• Paneles de Cerramiento (Prefabricated Concrete Enclosure Panels) Prefabricated concrete wall enclosure panels available with exclusive finishes including Corten Oxide (giving concrete the appearance of weathering steel), Travertine Marble (perforated travertine texture), and various reliefs (veining, logos, imitations), plus standard finishes (smooth grey, washed white, white sandblasted, washed black, washed red, washed river aggregate, creative washed aggregate, sandblasted tan). Sold to enterprise and public-sector builders across all sectors served by Artepref.
• Project Design and On-site Assembly Services Full-lifecycle project delivery service in which Artepref's in-house technical office studies each project, designs the optimal prefabricated concrete system, produces the elements in its Aranda de Duero factory, and assembles them on site. Includes after-sales service ensuring delivery on schedule and in perfect condition. Sold to enterprise and public-sector builders of industrial, commercial, logistics, agro-food, sports, education, and infrastructure buildings across Spain, France, and Portugal.

Regional players

• Boral Limited: Australia-based building materials and precast concrete producer. Comparable in product portfolio (precast structural elements and concrete panels) but operates in a different geography, making it a regional rather than direct competitor to Artepref's Iberian footprint.

Direct peers

• Pacadar: Spanish precast concrete manufacturer serving industrial, commercial, and infrastructure markets with structural elements and building systems. The most direct Iberian comparable to Artepref in product portfolio, customer base, and project typology.
• Viguetas y Forjados: Spanish producer of prefabricated concrete joists, slabs, and structural components. Competes with Artepref in the supply of precast structural elements to industrial and commercial construction projects across Spain.
• Hormipresa: Spanish manufacturer of prefabricated concrete structural elements for industrial, commercial, and infrastructure buildings. Comparable to Artepref in offering precast beams, slabs, and enclosures for the same Iberian non-residential construction market.
• Precon (Grupo Precon): Spanish precast concrete producer offering structural elements, slabs, and facades for residential, industrial, and civil engineering projects. Overlaps with Artepref in structural precast systems and the Spanish industrial-construction customer segment.

Others

• Elematic: Finnish supplier of precast concrete production technology, machinery, and complete plant solutions. Comparable as an enabler in the industrialized precast construction ecosystem that Artepref operates in, supplying the equipment and know-how used by precast manufacturers.
