Industrias Mycenter

What Industrias Mycenter does

Industrias Mycenter is a Guatemalan industrial metalworking job shop founded in 1994 and headquartered in Guatemala City. The company designs, fabricates, remodels, repairs, assembles, and maintains industrial machinery and metal-mechanical components for enterprise clients across cement, sugar, hydroelectric, monetary security, agro-industry, and consumer products sectors. Its core technical capabilities rest on a capital-intensive equipment base: a horizontal lathe with 32" x 8m capacity, a vertical lathe with up to 72" swing, a Bridgeport VMC 1000/20 CNC milling machine, an 18" x 40" surface grinder, and certified welding procedures spanning SMAW, GTAW, SAW, GMAW, FCAW, OFW, and metallizing processes.

The company operates a job-shop business model with project-based, quote-driven pricing. Clients submit quote requests via the company website or by phone and are quoted based on complexity, materials, and fabrication time. Named enterprise customers include Cementos Progreso, Colgate, Papelera Internacional, Corporación Multi Inversiones (CMI), ABB, and TIPICSA. The company claims that 95% of Guatemalan industrial metalworking needs can now be satisfied locally, displacing historical imports from Canada, the USA, and Germany.

Industrias Mycenter generates revenue through three primary streams: metalworking and machining services (turning, milling, grinding, welding), custom industrial fabrication (gears, tanks, mezzanines, structures), and maintenance/repair services. Distribution is exclusively direct-to-client within Guatemala and Central America. The firm is privately held, bootstrapped, with no disclosed funding rounds, no parent company, and no subsidiaries. It employs 11-50 people and markets through a combination of its website blog, YouTube video content, direct sales, and earned media coverage (notably a 2018 Guatevision feature).

Core offering

Industrias Mycenter provides industrial metalworking services including precision machining (horizontal and vertical turning, CNC milling, surface grinding) and certified welding, together with custom fabrication, reconstruction, assembly, and preventive maintenance of industrial machinery and metal components. The company serves enterprise industrial clients in Guatemala with the ability to handle large workpieces up to 72" swing on vertical lathes and 32" x 8m between centers on horizontal lathes.

Product overview

Industrias Mycenter is a metalworking services company offering a suite of CNC machining and fabrication services organized around two core pillars: machining services and custom fabrication/reconstruction. The machining services include Torno Horizontal (horizontal lathe up to 32" x 8m), Torno Vertical (vertical lathe up to 72" swing), Fresadora CNC (Bridgeport VMC 1000/20), Fresadora y Copiadora (milling and copying), Rectificadora de Superficies Planas (18" x 40" surface grinding), and Soldadura Profesional (certified welding via SMAW, GTAW, SAW, GMAW, FCAW, OFW, and metallizing). The fabrication and reconstruction services cover custom gear manufacturing, stainless steel tanks, mezzanines and metal structures, industrial parts reconstruction, machinery assembly/disassembly, and repair and maintenance. The company operates as a single-service-portfolio model rather than a platform-plus-modules architecture, with services often combined in integrated projects for clients across cement, sugar, hydroelectric, monetary security, and other industrial sectors.

Direct peers

• Protolabs: Global digital manufacturing services provider offering CNC machining, sheet metal fabrication, and other on-demand production services to industrial customers. Directly comparable to Industrias Mycenter's core job-shop machining and fabrication services, but delivered through an online platform rather than a traditional job-shop model.
• Fictiv: On-demand manufacturing platform providing CNC machining, 3D printing, injection molding, and sheet metal fabrication to product teams and industrial buyers. Directly analogous to Industrias Mycenter's machining and fabrication services, but accessed through a digital interface rather than direct quote-based engagement.
• Hubs: Manufacturing services platform providing CNC machining, injection molding, and sheet metal fabrication through a global network of suppliers (now part of Protolabs). Offers the same contract manufacturing services as Industrias Mycenter — precision machining and fabrication for industrial customers — but distributed via an online platform.
• Xometry: On-demand manufacturing marketplace connecting customers with vetted partners for CNC machining, sheet metal, and other fabrication services. Comparable to Industrias Mycenter as a provider of precision contract manufacturing, though it operates a marketplace model rather than a captive job shop.

Broad incumbents

• Worthington Industries: US-based manufacturer of pressure cylinders, steel processing, and engineered metal products with broad portfolio. Much larger than Industrias Mycenter, but with overlapping metal-processing and fabrication capabilities serving similar industrial customers.
• Industrias CH: Mexican industrial company producing steel products and structural profiles with broader portfolio than Industrias Mycenter's machining services. A larger, broader industrial incumbent in the same Latin American geography with related metal-processing capabilities.
• Grupo Industrial Saltillo: Diversified Mexican industrial conglomerate operating across metalworking, construction products, and industrial services in Latin America. Larger and broader than Industrias Mycenter, but operates in an overlapping industrial-services and metal-fabrication space in the same Latin American region.

Others

• Lincoln Electric Holdings: Global manufacturer of welding equipment, consumables, and cutting systems. Relevant ecosystem player to Industrias Mycenter — which relies on certified welding processes (SMAW, GTAW, SAW, GMAW, FCAW, OFW) — but supplies equipment rather than directly competing in machining services.

Emerging players

• Stratasys Direct Manufacturing: Additive manufacturing services arm of Stratasys offering 3D-printed production parts, prototypes, and tooling. Competes for the same industrial customers needing precision components that Industrias Mycenter serves with traditional machining, representing an adjacent/emerging alternative to its conventional fabrication services.
