Tecalum Industrial

What Tecalum Industrial does

Tecalum Industrial (legal entity Tecalum, SL) is a Spanish custom aluminium extrusion and component manufacturer headquartered in Tortellà, Girona, operating from a 9,000 m2 facility across five buildings with expansion capacity for a sixth 1,800 m2 building. Founded in 1965, the company runs an integrated manufacturing stack consisting of five extrusion presses, seven cutting lines, three threading machines, three drilling machines, and six CNC machining centers, supplemented by in-house surface treatment (lacquering and anodizing) performed to QUALICOAT and EURAS specifications. Design and engineering services use 3D CAD with Finite Element Analysis for load and fatigue simulation, supporting tooling optimization and cost reduction before production.

The company serves B2B enterprise customers across five primary verticals — Transportation (bus/truck bodies, railway structures, automotive, nautical, EV), Industrial Machinery (agricultural, elevators, automation), Healthcare/Medical (hospital furniture and equipment), Renewable Energy (solar structures, wind applications), and Interior Design — with go-to-market executed via three named commercial managers handling direct enterprise relationships rather than intermediaries. Pricing is custom and project-based, with costs driven by alloy selection (AW6060, AW6063, AW6005, AW6082, AW6106), extrusion complexity, machining operations, surface treatments, and order volume, typically structured as multi-year contracts. Certifications include ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and EN 15085-2 for railway welding, providing qualification for safety-critical sectors. Raw material is sourced from HYDRO and ALCAN-Rio Tinto, and the multilingual website (Spanish, Catalan, English, French, German) supports worldwide exports.

Tecalum operates as a privately held, founder- or family-owned Spanish SL with no disclosed external equity backing, no funding rounds, no M&A activity, and no parent or subsidiary structure. The company maintains memberships in the European Aluminium Association (EAA), APQP4WIND, UPCELL, Forum Carlemany, PATRONAT UdG, Fundació EST Girona, and OCC, participates in EcoVadis sustainability assessments, and has engaged ENISA as a financial partner. Headcount is reported in the 101–250 band; no revenue figure is publicly disclosed.
