What Hidrogarne does

Hidrogarne (legal name HIDROGARNE, S.L.U.) is a privately held Spanish industrial machinery manufacturer founded in 1987 and headquartered in Bellpuig, Lleida. The company designs and builds hydraulic presses (standard range 25–500 tons; custom/special manufacturing range 25–2000 tons), mechanical eccentric presses in C-frame (PE series, 30–315 tons) and H-frame (PM series, 100–630 tons) configurations, and hydraulic insertion/clinching presses (6, 10, and 15 tons), plus a secondary certified used-machinery line covering shears, bending machines, and machining centers. Manufacturing, structural design (finite element-based), and assembly are performed in-house, with components sourced from premium European electrical and hydraulic suppliers; flagship 2025 products include the CR/SERVO motorized C-frame presses claiming 60% energy savings and PLC-controlled folding presses with SIEMENS SIMATIC S7 1200 controllers and HMI recipe storage.

The company sells to industrial buyers in automotive, aerospace, railway, and general metalworking, addressing needs for deep drawing, stamping, straightening, vulcanizing, and elastoconforming. Its go-to-market combines direct sales through specialized commercial representatives with an actively expanding international distributor network (e.g., VKR in Czech Republic and Slovenia, a Germany office), supported by participation in major industry exhibitions including BIEMH, MSV, METAVAK, Advanced Manufacturing Barcelona, EMO Hannover, and FABTECH. Revenue is generated primarily through quote-based capital equipment sales under multi-year contracts, supplemented by after-sales services (installation, commissioning, programming support, spare parts) and a one-time used-machinery stream; pricing is not publicly disclosed. Operations span more than 25 countries with a stated 2-year warranty on new machines.

Direct peers

• Greenerd Press & Machine Company: US manufacturer of hydraulic and mechanical presses in mid-tonnage ranges, serving automotive, aerospace, and general metalworking customers. Closely comparable in business model (custom and standard presses, mid-sized manufacturer).
• Macrodyne Technologies: Canadian manufacturer of custom hydraulic presses up to 10,000 tons for automotive, aerospace, and energy applications. Highly comparable on custom-engineered press design and manufacturing, including deep drawing and forming.
• LASCO Umformtechnik: German specialist in forming technology including hydraulic and mechanical presses, forging equipment, and special machines. Comparable mid-sized European competitor with similar custom-engineering capabilities.
• TMP (Technical Machine Products): US press manufacturer producing hydraulic and mechanical presses for automotive, appliance, and general metal forming. Comparable in product category, tonnage range, and customer segments to Hidrogarne.
• PHB Presses: Spanish-based manufacturer of hydraulic and mechanical presses serving automotive, home appliance, and general metalworking markets. Closest direct competitor in geography, product range (presses up to several thousand tons), and target customer base.
• Dake (JSJ Corporation): US manufacturer of hydraulic presses, including C-frame and H-frame models, plus arbor and manual presses. Direct competitor in standard hydraulic press lines sold through industrial distribution channels.

Broad incumbents

• Schuler Group: Global market leader in metal forming press technology, headquartered in Germany. Directly competes with Hidrogarne in hydraulic and mechanical presses for automotive and industrial applications, but operates at vastly greater scale with full line solutions including automation, dies, and service.
• Amada: Japanese global manufacturer of metalworking machinery including press brakes, shears, and punching machines. Adjacent competitor in sheet metal forming equipment, though Amada's portfolio is broader and includes laser cutting systems.
• Bystronic: Swiss-based global supplier of sheet metal processing equipment including press brakes and cutting systems. Overlaps with Hidrogarne's press brake and forming product lines, particularly for sheet metal fabrication customers.
• Komatsu Industries: Japanese press manufacturer offering mechanical and hydraulic presses globally. Competes with Hidrogarne in stamping and forming presses for automotive supply chains, but as part of a much broader industrial machinery portfolio.
