LACADOS ALACANT SL

What LACADOS ALACANT SL does

LACADOS ALACANT SL (commercial name: LACANT) is a privately-held Spanish Sociedad Limitada founded in November 2005 in Aspe, Alicante, that operates as a B2B contract powder coating and decorative finishing service provider for aluminum profiles and sheets. The firm occupies a 5,500 m² site with 3,900 m² dedicated to coating facilities and warehouse, strategically located 5 km from the A-31 motorway and 7 km from the A-7, providing rapid access to Spain's main industrial corridors. The company employs 9 people and operates two automated painting lines with robotic application systems and PLC-controlled process management.

The core technical platform is built on an electrostatic powder-coating line (Lacado) that includes chromium-free chemical pretreatment, robotic spray application, oven polymerization, and an in-house quality laboratory operating under QUALICOAT-prescribed procedures. On top of this base, the firm runs two additional specialty lines: a foil wrapping/recoating line (Foliados/Rechapados) applying PVC, melamine, or natural wood veneers to aluminum and PVC profiles, and a sublimation/wood-imitation line that heat-transfers wood, marble, and granite patterns at approximately 200°C using QUALICOAT-approved polyurethane powder. The company holds QUALICOAT license nº 461 (granted 10 January 2006) and the SEASIDE quality mark (January 2009), the latter enabling premium-grade finishes for coastal and marine environments. Production capacity is stated at 9,000 bars per day with an average of twelve color changes, handling bars up to 7,250 mm in length and pieces up to 2,000 mm in height by 300 mm in width.

The business model is transaction-fee services billed per production batch or project, with quote-based pricing set by the commercial department based on profile specifications, color, quantity, and finish complexity. Revenue streams include standard powder coating, premium decorative finishes (wood sublimation, foil recoating, anodized-look, metallic, textured), stock-storage and just-in-time delivery services via a company-owned truck fleet, and optional protective film application. The primary customer segment is the architectural aluminum industry (windows, doors, panels, facade systems) in Spain, with secondary exposure to industrial aluminum processors and coastal/marine construction projects. The company joined ASELAC, the Spanish QUALICOAT licensor, in January 2006. The website is active and the firm presents as an operating, independently-managed small industrial coater with no disclosed parent, subsidiaries, funding rounds, or external investors.
