What WITECH does

WITECH, legally WIRE TECHNOLOGIES S.L., is a Spanish private industrial equipment manufacturer founded in 1988 and headquartered in Barberà del Vallès near Barcelona. The company engineers, fabricates, installs, and commissions heat treatment and hot-dip galvanizing lines for steel wire producers, positioning itself as a single turnkey provider for complete galvanizing facilities rather than a component vendor. Its flagship product, GalvaGREEN, is an ecological annealing and hot-dip galvanizing line that eliminates acid HCl, flux, and lead, uses a single zinc-aluminum immersion bath, and features independent thermal parameters per wire strand with up to 75% energy savings and 90% reduction in zinc kettle investment versus traditional systems. The portfolio extends upstream and downstream of galvanizing to include heavy duty wire drawing machines, steel fiber production machines, hexagonal netting mesh systems, fully automatic wire coil packaging lines (20-2,000 kg coils), and a spare parts service for the installed base. The company is founder-led by Ton Dalmau and operates with 11-50 employees, selling globally through direct enterprise sales with custom quote-based pricing, multi-year project contracts, and bundled installation/commissioning services.
