What Famatel Group does

Famatel Group (legal entity: Fabricación de Material Eléctrico S.A.) is a privately held Spanish manufacturer of electrical materials founded in 1991 and headquartered in Lliçà de Vall, Catalonia. The company designs, manufactures, and distributes industrial and residential electrical products including industrial plugs and sockets, interlocking bases, industrial adapters, cable reels, IP67 cut-off switches, distribution enclosures and cabinets (e-3LECTRIC line, ACQUA BOX, ACQUA COMBI), as well as residential junction boxes, domestic plugs and sockets, mechanisms, lamp holders, lighting, and the ASTRA IP40 network termination series. Production is supported by Industry 4.0 automation, proprietary in-house testing laboratories for compliance with national and international standards, and a warehouse management system (SGA/WMS) supporting both national and international distribution. The company complements its hardware offering with ACQUASOFT, a proprietary configuration software for electrical panel design and online quotations.

The company operates a sales-led go-to-market model with project-based engagement for major installations (Barcelona Airport Terminal 1, Camp Nou Stadium, Repsol Puertollano refinery), supported by a seven-language website (Spanish, English, Turkish, Portuguese, Czech, Polish, French), email newsletter capture, and active social media presence across Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, LinkedIn, and YouTube. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. The customer base spans three primary segments — Industrial (construction, telecom, ports, agriculture, mining, refineries), Residential (households, outdoor installations), and Tertiary/Services (events, camping, caravaning, public buildings). Revenue is generated through hardware sales under a single revenue stream, with no disclosed subscription, recurring, or services-based monetization. The company is founder-controlled, with co-founder Carlos Latre serving as CEO; no external institutional investor, parent company, or subsidiary relationships were disclosed.
