What Coscollola does

Coscollola Comercial, S.L. is a Barcelona-headquartered, family-owned industrial machinery distributor and engineering services provider serving the plastics and rubber transformation sector across Spain and Portugal. Founded in 1948 as a manufacturer of injection molds, the company pivoted to distribution in 1962 when it became the exclusive Spanish representative of German premium OEM KraussMaffei, and today holds exclusive Iberian representation rights for an ecosystem of premium brands including Motan-Colortronic (material handling), Frigel (cooling), Getecha (grinding/recycling), Regloplas (tempering), MTF Technik (conveyors), Pelletron (bulk material handling), Nordson (polymer processing), Kreyenborg (drying/mixing), and PT Maschinenbau (pelletizing). The portfolio is organized into three product groups — injection machinery and peripherals, extrusion systems and peripherals, and after-sales service (commissioning, preventive maintenance, spare parts, technical training) — supported by technical service offices in Barcelona, Madrid, Valencia, Andalucía, and Porto.

The company monetizes through one-time capital equipment sales of injection presses and extrusion lines into automotive Tier-1 suppliers, multinational industrial buyers, and Spanish SMEs in injection molding and compounding, complemented by recurring revenue from after-sales service contracts, spare parts, and turnkey engineering. Distribution is sales-led via direct enterprise field sales, area directors dedicated to injection, extrusion, and after-sales, and participation in industry events such as Equiplast. Beyond the core distribution franchise, the group operates wholly-owned subsidiaries Coscollola Engineering (plant and process engineering for chemical, petrochemical, food, pharmaceutical, and packaging), CITD Engineering (structural analysis for aeronautics, aerospace, defense, automotive, energy, and civil infrastructure), and CITD Additive Manufacturing (industrial 3D printing services).

Coscollola holds ISO 9001:2015 quality management certification and is led by President Enrique Coscollola and CEO Ricardo Coscollola, with family control of the primary operating entity Coscollola Comercial, S.L. and its three subsidiaries; the company has no external private equity or institutional investor presence and employs approximately 40 staff, each with more than 25 years of sector experience. Geographic scope is primarily Iberian with occasional sales into South America and Eastern Europe.
