What Sabacaucho does

Sabacaucho SAU is a Spanish specialty elastomer manufacturer founded in 1979 and headquartered in Castellar del Vallès (Barcelona), operating a 3,000+ m2 facility with more than 50 qualified employees. The company is organized into two divisions: S-Industry, which produces custom and standard elastomer components across multiple polymer families (NR, PUR, CR, EPDM, NBR, VMQ, FKM) for industrial customers in automotive, aerospace, medical, railway, graphic arts, packaging, construction, naval, and mining sectors; and S-Urban, which markets the company's proprietary X-LAST®-based urban mobility products, principally the I-BOLLARD flexible bollard and the patented D-BIKE wave-shaped bike lane separator.

The company's competitive position rests on proprietary materials science, including the exclusive X-LAST® elastomer formulation and a registered industrial design on D-BIKE, combined with a vertically integrated process that runs from in-house polymer R&D and 3D prototyping through production to quality control, with no outsourcing. The company holds ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certifications (AENOR, valid through 2028-06-01) and CE certification for I-BOLLARD, supporting both industrial and public-sector procurement.

Sabacaucho monetizes through one-time sales of custom and standard elastomer parts and finished urban products, with all pricing handled via quote-based direct sales to enterprise and government buyers plus an international distributor network for the S-Urban division. Industrial sales are direct from headquarters; Urban products are sold both directly and through recruited distributors across five continents, with documented deployments in Spain, France, Belgium, Italy, and Colombia. The company markets itself on its ability to take on any project regardless of complexity, supplying engineered solutions rather than commoditized parts.

Core offering

Sabacaucho designs, formulates, and manufactures elastomer products (rubber, polyurethane, neoprene, EPDM, nitrile, silicone, fluorelastomers) for industrial customers across automotive, aerospace, medical, railway, graphic arts, and other sectors. Through its S-Urban division, the company also manufactures flexible bollards (I-BOLLARD) and patented bike lane separators (D-BIKE) made from its proprietary X-LAST® elastomer for municipalities and urban planners. All manufacturing — from custom polymer formulation and 3D prototyping through production and quality control — is conducted in-house at the Castellar del Vallès facility.

Product overview

Sabacaucho is a manufacturer of elastomer-based products organized into two divisions: S-Industry (industrial elastomer solutions) and S-Urban (urban mobility products). The core Urban division offers I-BOLLARD (flexible bollards made with proprietary X-LAST® material) and D-BIKE (patented bike lane separators). The I-BOLLARD product line includes four collections (Stetic, Functional, Delimiters/Markers, Classics), plus the LumArt LED illumination system, Ret retractable system, and Protective Cover removable system. Accessories include LED/LumArt tops, mounting plates (Plets), and keys. The proprietary X-LAST® material provides flexibility with optimal rigidity, weather resistance, and self-recovery after impact. Industrial solutions cover adhesion, anti-static, soundproofing, cushioning, corrosion protection, and resistance properties across multiple elastomer formulations including PUR, CR, EPDM, FKM, NR, VMQ, and NBR.

Products and services

• I-BOLLARD Flexible Bollards Flexible bollards manufactured with proprietary X-LAST® elastomer, available in multiple design families (Stetic, Functional, Delimiters/Markers, Classics). The bollards recover original shape after impact, are CE certified, weather-resistant, and allow emergency vehicles to pass over without obstruction. Used by municipalities, cities, and airports for pedestrian safety and vehicle access control.
• D-BIKE Bike Lane Separator Patented wave-shaped bike lane separator made with X-LAST® elastomer. The wave design hinders vehicle intrusion and helps eject vehicles from cycle lanes, absorbs high-load impacts, and returns to original shape. Sold to municipalities and urban planners for bike lane protection.
• LumArt LED Bollard Illumination System LED light-base system that uniformly illuminates the entire I-BOLLARD surface without degradation. Designed for low-visibility areas such as parks, bike paths, and gardens to improve nighttime mobility and pedestrian safety.
• Ret Retractable Bollard System Retractable bollard system activated by a key, allowing temporary access control to restricted vehicle zones. Made with X-LAST® material that returns to original shape after impact.
• Protective Cover (Removable Bollard) System Formwork system that makes I-BOLLARD removable and reinstallable while automatically covering the mechanism when the bollard is removed, preventing dirt entry and trip hazards. Compatible with 80, 100, and 150 mm diameter designs.
• S-Industry Custom Industrial Elastomer Solutions Custom and standard elastomer parts manufactured in NR, PUR, CR, EPDM, NBR, VMQ, and FKM for industrial sectors including automotive, aerospace, medical-health, railway, graphic arts, packaging, ceramics, construction, naval, and mining. Solutions provide adhesion, anti-static, soundproofing, cushioning, elasticity, component protection, anti-corrosion, sealing, and resistance properties. Includes custom formulation, 3D prototyping, and full production integration.
