INELEC S.A.

What INELEC S.A. does

INELEC S.A. is a privately held Spanish electronic components distributor and wholesaler, founded in 1980 by Jesús María Aguirre as a family business and headquartered in Madrid. The company operates three regional offices — Madrid (central), San Sebastián (northern Spain), and Barcelona (Catalonia) — providing sales and technical coverage across Spain and Portugal. It holds authorized distributor status for a broad portfolio of international manufacturers including Harting, Eaton Bussmann, Nichia, EBM-Papst, Semikron, MOSO Power, Mitsubishi, Degson, Crydom, Nextys, Vishay, and others. MOSO Power has appointed INELEC as its European logistics centre for LED drivers, signaling a strategic role in cross-European distribution.

INELEC's product catalog spans approximately 20 categories of industrial electronic components, including capacitors, connectors, contactors, heat sinks, fans, fuses, Hall effect sensors, LED drivers, LEDs, LED optics, planar transformers, power modules (IGBT/MOSFET/SiC), power supplies (20W–2400W), relays, resistors, surge protection devices, switches, thermostats, ultracapacitors, and aerosols. These components are organized around four primary verticals: renewable energy (solar and wind), lighting (LED drivers, LEDs, optics for street, industrial, landscape, architectural, and residential applications), industrial automation and general manufacturing, and energy storage (batteries and ultracapacitors). The company has recently extended into EV charging infrastructure connectors via its Degson partnership. Product features include DALI-2 and D4i programmable LED drivers (with MOSO) and components rated for harsh-environment applications in photovoltaic, wind, railway, and aerospace settings.

INELEC's business model is B2B distribution: quote-based, project-driven sales with no publicly disclosed pricing, supported by a 56-person headcount of technically trained sales engineers who provide component selection advice and post-sale support. Revenue is generated through one-time sales of physical components (no software, licensing, or subscription model). Marketing and demand generation rely on a combination of the corporate website, a LinkedIn company page, a dedicated LinkedIn Lighting showcase, participation in industry trade shows (Light&Building, Concreta Eletrica), and in-house technical seminars that bring together manufacturers and customers. The firm is privately owned with no parent company, subsidiaries, or external funding disclosed, and current leadership is provided by Director General Javier Sánchez.

Product overview

INELEC S.A. is a Spanish electronic components distributor and wholesaler offering a comprehensive portfolio of industrial electronic components across four main sectors: renewable energy, lighting, industrial, and energy storage. The company distributes physical electronic components rather than software products. The product portfolio includes LED drivers (MOSO Power, supporting DALI-2 and D4i protocols), LEDs (Nichia, Stanley), LED optics (Ledlink, Khatod), capacitors (Electronicon, Samwha, Vishay, Icel), connectors (Harting, Degson), power modules (Mitsubishi, Semikron), power supplies (Nextys), relays (Crydom, YM Tech), fuses (Eaton Bussmann), contactors, heat sinks (Fischer, Meccal), fans (EBM-PAPST), ultracapacitors (Maxwell), and other passive components. INELEC operates as a distributor and does not appear to offer a unified software platform; instead, it provides technical sales support and logistics services for electronic components across Spain and Portugal.
