Codina

What Codina does

Codina Metal (legal entity: BANDAS METÁLICAS CODINA, S.L.) is a Spanish industrial manufacturer founded in 1899 and headquartered in La Torre de Claramunt, province of Barcelona. The company produces custom-engineered metallic fabric products across five core lines: metal conveyor belts (13+ distinct models), woven wire meshes, metal filters (discs, cylinders, pleated, candle, custom), knitted wire meshes, and demisters/mist eliminators. Manufacturing is vertically integrated in a single Spanish facility, from raw wire processing through finished product, enabling tolerance control to +/- 0.0002 inches and the ability to work with 10+ alloy types including stainless steel, Monel, Inconel, Hastelloy, and refractory alloys rated for temperatures up to 1,160°C.

The company sells primarily through a direct technical sales model to industrial customers across five end-markets: food and beverage processing (FDA-compliant belts for ovens, freezers, pasteurization), petrochemical and chemical processing (high-temperature filtration and demisters), automotive manufacturing (heat treatment and sintering belts, IATF 16949 certified), glass manufacturing (annealing lehr belts), and architecture (via the Codina Architectural sub-brand for facades and interiors). Products are engineered to customer specifications under a make-to-order revenue model with quote-based pricing, generating over 10,000 unique product references. The company exports to 50+ countries globally, supplemented by regional distribution partnerships and recurring trade show presence at major industrial events including Heat Treat Detroit, Furnaces North America, and the Subcontracting Fair Tampere.

Codina operates as a privately held Spanish Sociedad Limitada with no disclosed parent company, venture capital backing, or public listing. Quality system certifications include ISO 9001, IATF 16949 (automotive), and AS 9100 alignment (aerospace), with FDA material compliance for food-contact applications. The customer base is distributed across multiple industrial verticals with no disclosed concentration in any single end-market. There is no evidence of AI/ML capability, software products, or digital services — Codina is a pure-play physical manufacturer whose competitive position rests on century-old metallurgical expertise, deep application engineering, and global distribution reach.

Core offering

Codina Metal manufactures custom-engineered metallic meshes, woven wire cloths, metal conveyor belts, industrial filters, knitted wire meshes, and demister/mist eliminators for industrial customers in food processing, petrochemical, automotive, glass, and architectural sectors. Products are made in-house in Spain from raw wire in stainless steel and specialty alloys, with tight tolerances and full traceability, and are sold as make-to-order engineered solutions rather than standard catalog items.

Product overview

Codina Metal is a manufacturer of industrial metal products founded in 1899, offering a portfolio of five interconnected core product lines: (1) Cintas Transportadoras (metal conveyor belts) available in 13 distinct models (Tipo A, A1, A2, A3-A6, B, B1, B2, Fil-Pla, MG, Vaucanson, Alveolar, Alambres Engarzados) plus accessories and edge finishes; (2) Telas Metálicas (woven wire meshes) including pre-corrugated and industrial-use variants in multiple weaves; (3) Filtros Metálicos (metal filters) including discs, cylinders, pleated, deep-formed, candle, and custom filters; (4) Mallas Tricotadas (knitted wire meshes) for filtration, isolation, and cushioning; and (5) Desnebulizadores/Demisters (demister/mist eliminators) for gas-liquid separation. The Codina Architectural sub-brand extends the mesh expertise into architectural applications. All products are manufactured in-house in Spain, enabling full control over material traceability, quality, and customization.

Targeted at food processing, heat treatment, automotive, glass, and other industrial lines.
• Telas Met\u00e1licas (Woven Wire Meshes) Woven wire mesh fabrics manufactured from interlaced metal threads, available in plain, twilled, plain dutch, and dutch twilled weaves, in stainless steel, aluminum, copper, brass, and special alloys. Used for filtration, protection, transport, and screening in industrial and architectural applications.
• Filtros Met\u00e1licos (Metal Filters) Custom metal filters including discs (simple and multi-layer), cylinders (simple and composite), pleated filters, candle filters, deep-formed filters, and custom filters, designed for precise filtration in food, chemical, and automotive processes. Offers corrosion resistance, high-temperature tolerance, and durability.
• Mallas Tricotadas (Knitted Wire Meshes) Knitted wire mesh products manufactured in continuous flattened sleeve form, used to construct bodies with varied geometry and density for filtration, separation, isolation, and cushioning in technical industrial processes.
• Desnebulizadores / Demisters (Mist Eliminators) Demister devices (mist eliminators) built with knitted wire mesh to separate fine droplets carried by gas or vapor streams, achieving up to 99% separation efficiency without significant flow restriction or pressure drop. Available in multiple density/type configurations (CD-14 through CD-175).
