Proyecma

What Proyecma does

Proyecma, S.A. is a privately held Spanish industrial machinery manufacturer founded in 1987 by Nicolás Tirado in Granollers and now headquartered in La Roca del Vallès, Barcelona, where it operates a 2,000+ m² engineering and assembly facility. The company designs, manufactures, and sells automated machines and peripheral systems for the assembly of plastic caps and closures, serving packaging production lines in food and beverage, cosmetics and perfumery, pharmaceutical, chemical, body care, and household hygiene end-markets. Its product portfolio is organized around core assembly machine families: CVR rotary/intermittent threaded assembly, CVP press assembly, CVC cap slitting, TVJ/TNJ and CVJ/CLJ seal insertion, and CVB flip-top closure machines. The offering is complemented by proprietary peripheral systems, including AR/AS/AP/AC/AB rotary feeders and PE/PEZ gravimetric feeders, EL/ELH elevators, VA artificial-vision inspection and VT mechanical-verification units, EA/EAVF/CTH transport belts, and proprietary LPH hysteresis and LPS synchronous threading heads with magnetic torque control. All equipment is manufactured in-house in Barcelona and supplied as standalone machines or integrated turnkey lines with optional CE, GMP, US-FDA, ATEX, and UL compliance.

Revenue is generated almost exclusively through one-time hardware sales of capital equipment and bespoke engineering projects, with no public pricing disclosed. The go-to-market is enterprise B2B field sales from the Barcelona headquarters complemented by regional sales agents in Portugal/Brazil/Latin America (Pedro Franco), North America through partner CO-H2 Inc. (Hugues Hébert, Québec, Canada), and Turkey through Tecknointel International (Erbil Sokullu, Istanbul). The company supplies both direct from Spain and through its São Paulo regional office established in 2007 to cover South America. Over its 35+ year operating history Proyecma claims delivery of more than 200 complete production lines and more than 500 peripheral units. Ownership remains with the Tirado family/founder group; no institutional investors, M&A activity, or public-market listing have been disclosed, and headcount is reported in the 1-10 range.
