What Aepasa does

Aepasa (AEPASA sl) is a privately held Spanish logistics and transportation company headquartered in Onda, Castellón, founded in February 1984 and now operated by its third generation of family owners. The Delgado family controls the company through managing partner Mª Pilar Delgado together with Salvador Delgado and Ángela Delgado. Aepasa specializes in the storage, deposit, pickup, and transport of merchandise, with its service portfolio built around eight core offerings: national road transport, national distribution network, tile-zone collections, carrier loading/unloading support, warehousing, merchandise deposits, order management and preparation, and shipment tracking and communication. The company holds the "operador logístico autorizado" certification from Spain's Ministry of Transport, a regulatory prerequisite for third-party storage activity, and is an active member of ACTM, the Castellón road freight business association.

The underlying technology stack is described as a logistics and transportation management system combined with a stock management module providing tracking and client communication, supported by physical infrastructure of 8,000 m2 at Polígono Colomer in Onda and a fleet delivering nationally with multiple unloading options including elevating platforms and crane trucks. The architecture is operationally integrated around the Castellón ceramic tile cluster but commercially extends to any point in Spain.

Aepasa generates revenue primarily through quote-based, pay-as-you-go transaction fees for transportation, pickup, order preparation, and loading services, alongside recurring storage and merchandise deposit fees for its 8,000 m2 facility. Its go-to-market is sales-led and direct, with demand generated through the company website's contact/quote form, phone (964 770 256), and email ([email protected]), supplemented by a modest organic social presence on LinkedIn, Facebook, and Instagram. The customer base is concentrated in tile and ceramic manufacturers in the Castellón zone, with transport carriers served as a secondary use-case segment for loading/unloading support. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is determined per quote based on client-specific requirements.
