Industrias Saludes

What Industrias Saludes does

Industrias Saludes is a Spanish industrial group headquartered in Alcácer, Comunidad Valenciana, with over 120 years of history in the road safety, signaling, and urban equipment sector. The company manufactures, distributes, and installs a comprehensive portfolio spanning vertical and horizontal signage, traffic lights, electronic signaling for smart cities, urban furniture, playground equipment, and automotive plates. Operationally, it runs a vertically integrated manufacturing facility at its Alcácer industrial park headquarters, with a customer service office in Valencia. The group is organized around four sub-brands: the parent Industrias Saludes for traditional products, Traffic Futura for intelligent traffic systems and smart city solutions, Saludes Servicios Integrales for installation and horizontal marking services, and Saludes Parques for playground equipment.

The company has evolved from traditional steel and aluminum signage into a smart city and intelligent transportation systems (ITS) provider through its Traffic Futura division, with proprietary product lines including FuturaDAC (animal detection), FuturaSDH (ice detection), FuturaZOMBI (pedestrian beacons for distracted walkers), FuturaPulse 4C (accessible pedestrian buttons), FuturaAVS (Bluetooth acoustic warnings), Futura SLV series (pedagogical speed radars), and Futura SmartCrossing. These products combine sensors (infrared, temperature, photoelectric) with electronic control systems and LED illumination, including LED traffic light optics claimed to reduce energy consumption by up to 90% versus incandescent technology.

Industrias Saludes generates revenue primarily through B2G direct sales to Spanish municipalities, regional governments, and national road authorities, with project-based pricing and multi-year contracts typical of public procurement. Secondary channels include ITS system integrators (Trazados Viales, Ferrovial), international distributors built through trade show presence and ICEX-Next export support, and a direct-to-consumer online store (isaludes.com) for automotive products such as V-20 panels and license plates. The company is family-owned across four generations, led by President Fernando Saludes Talens and CEO Fernando Saludes García, with no external institutional investment disclosed.
