Matic

What Matic does

Matic (legal entity MATIC, S.A.) is a privately held Spanish industrial machinery manufacturer founded in 1969 and headquartered in Granollers, near Barcelona. The company designs, manufactures, and sells automated equipment for the textile, sun protection, and digital printing finishing industries, with a product line spanning XY cutting tables (ultrasonic, crush-cut, laser, rotary), pulse welding machines, automatic sewing systems, material handling and inspection equipment, packaging machines, and accessories. Its core differentiators are the patented Seamless welding technology (US Patent 9,096,015) used across the Ares, Hera, and Perseo welding lines, and the proprietary Athenea workflow management software that integrates order entry, inventory, cutting, and welding with optional ERP connectivity for Industry 4.0 traceability.

Matic serves three primary verticals: sun protection manufacturers (roller shutters, awnings, exterior screens, pergolas), large-format digital printing finishers (PVC banners, technical textiles, backlits, flags), and traditional interior curtain producers, with a secondary footprint in technical textiles and industrial sewing through its exclusive Spanish distribution of Dürkopp Adler and Pfaff equipment. The business model is B2B industrial machinery sales, quote-based and configured per customer, monetized through direct enterprise sales from the Barcelona headquarters for Spanish customers and through a global distributor and representative network for international markets. The company also generates revenue from software licenses (Athenea), spare parts, accessories such as FixMatic tape and weldable eyelets, and resale margins on the distributed sewing and welding brands. With 51-100 employees and 50+ years of continuous operation under family ownership, Matic positions itself as a Spanish market leader in its core niches.
