Mecatec Vigo

What Mecatec Vigo does

Mecatec Vigo (legal name Mecanizados Tecnológicos Vigo, S.L.) is a privately held Spanish industrial services company founded in 2009 and headquartered in Mos, Pontevedra. The firm specializes in on-site machining and grinding services for industrial machinery that cannot be disassembled or transported to a workshop, including flange machining up to 8500mm diameter, portable CNC stud removal (M3 to M200+), milling, turning, honing and lapping of cylinder liners up to 500x2000mm, and laser-based metrology (shaft alignment, flatness measurement, 3D laser tracker and measuring arm services). Its core technical differentiator is that nearly all portable equipment used in the field is designed and manufactured in-house, supported by a 3D design and simulation office that enables custom tooling when standard machines cannot adapt to a job.

The company's revenue model is professional services based, with project-by-project pricing driven by scope, complexity, and site conditions rather than disclosed standardized pricing. GTM is sales-led and direct, with field engineering teams deployed to customer facilities across multiple verticals: maritime/naval (primary), electric power including hydroelectric, wind, thermal and cogeneration (primary), petrochemical, siderurgical/iron and steel, automotive, engineering and structures, civil engineering, and other industrial sectors. Marketing relies on a bilingual Spanish/English website with detailed project case studies and technical specifications, ISO 9001:2008 certification with design capability (Bureau Veritas), and government-backed international trade promotion channels. The firm claims national and international recognition for high technical-value solutions and is a 2024-2025 beneficiary of IGAPE export promotion grants targeting internationalization of Galician companies, indicating an early phase of cross-border expansion.
