Uriarte Safybox

What Uriarte Safybox does

Uriarte Safybox S.A. is a Spanish family-owned industrial manufacturer founded in 1972 and headquartered in Lezama (Bizkaia), Basque Country, specializing in non-metallic enclosures and cabinets built from fiberglass reinforced polyester (FRP/GRP). The core technology leverages SMC/GRP material formulations that deliver self-extinguishing fire behavior (960°C glow wire), Class F thermal rating, halogen-free composition, UV and chemical resistance, no condensation behavior, and impact resistance (IK10) alongside IP43-IP66 ingress protection. Its product portfolio is organized into four families — SAFYBOX BRES (monobloc industrial cabinets), SAFYBOX CA (modular double-insulation boxes with polycarbonate lids), SAFYBOX ART (outdoor cabinets with integrated roof), and SAFYBOX APM (flush-mounted cabinets) — complemented by in-house CNC machining, laser engraving, and modular connection flanges that support application-specific configurations.

The company operates a B2B sales-led go-to-market targeting six industrial verticals: electrical infrastructure, photovoltaic/solar, water, railway, telecommunications, and gas. Revenue is generated through one-time hardware sales of standard and customized enclosures, professional services for project-specific customization, and complete sector solutions such as photovoltaic combiner boxes integrated with surge protection, disconnects, and MODBUS RS485 monitoring. Pricing is account-based and not publicly disclosed, with orders processed through a login-protected e-commerce storefront (supporting EUR and PLN) and confirmed via email within 72 hours; standard Spanish payment terms under Law 15/2010 apply. Distribution combines a multilingual website (Spanish, English, French, Polish) with direct sales via phone and email.

Uriarte Safybox is part of the Uriarte Enclosures Group, a multinational holding company with manufacturing facilities in Spain, Poland (Gostynin), and Portugal, and certifications valid in over 70 countries across five continents. The company is led by Director Asier Uriarte and maintains ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001:2015, ISO 14064-1:2018, IEC-62208:2018, UNE-EN 60529:2018, and UNE-EN 60695-11-10:2013 certifications. It has received European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) 2021-2027 co-financing through the Basque Government's FAST-TRACK business innovation program. The company is privately held with no institutional investors, public listing, or disclosed funding rounds.

Core offering

Uriarte Safybox manufactures fiberglass reinforced polyester (FRP/GRP) boxes and cabinets for industrial customers. The product range covers monobloc industrial cabinets, modular double-insulation boxes, outdoor ground-installation cabinets, and flush-mounted wall cabinets with IP43 to IP66 ingress protection and IK10 impact resistance, delivered as standard or customized solutions for the electrical, photovoltaic, water, railway, telecommunications, and gas sectors.

Product overview

Uriarte Safybox manufactures fiberglass reinforced polyester (FRP/GRP) enclosures and cabinets as a unified product portfolio serving multiple industrial sectors. The product lineup consists of four distinct product families: SAFYBOX BRES (monobloc industrial cabinets for electrical and telecommunications applications), SAFYBOX CA (modular double insulation boxes for flexible panel configurations), SAFYBOX ART (outdoor cabinets with integrated roof for ground installation in railway and urban environments), and SAFYBOX APM (flush-mounted cabinets for residential facades and wall-mounted meter/fuse protection). These products share common material properties—corrosion resistance, electrical insulation, UV resistance, and IK10 impact ratings—while serving different installation contexts and industry requirements across electrical, photovoltaic, water, railway, telecommunications, and gas sectors.
