What Grupo Lucohe. Lubricalia, Cortalia, Herramentalia does

Grupo Lucohe (Industrias Metalúrgicas Lucohe, S.L.) is a Spanish private industrial group headquartered in Coslada, Madrid, that operates as the exclusive official distributor of OMAX abrasive waterjet cutting machines for Spain and Portugal. The company sells the OMAX product family — OptiMAX, MAXIEM, GlobalMAX, ProtoMAX, and MicroMAX systems — which use high-pressure water mixed with abrasive garnet to cut metals, composites, stone, and glass without thermal distortion. Capital equipment is paired with sales and support of Hypertherm plasma consumables and AccuStream replacement parts, and the group stores local Spanish inventory to enable 24-48 hour spare parts delivery across Iberia.

The business model layers three revenue streams: quote-based, high-value capital equipment sales; recurring spare parts and consumables transactions through a 4,557-SKU e-commerce catalogo operated under the Lubricalia sister division; and ancillary services including technical support, training, financing/leasing/renting, and used/refurbished machinery resale. The target customer base is industrial manufacturers, training centers, and B2B spare parts buyers across Spain and Portugal, with named verticals including aerospace and automotive. Sister divisions Cortalia (subcontracting), Herramentalia (machinery), and Agenticalia (AI services) extend the group into adjacent industrial services. The firm employs approximately 9 people and claims 30+ years of waterjet expertise, though the entity itself was founded in 2011; no external funding rounds, customer logos, or audited financials are disclosed.

Emerging players

• Jet Edge Inc. US-based waterjet cutting machine manufacturer offering both ultra-high-pressure and abrasive waterjet systems for industrial cutting applications. A smaller OEM alternative to OMAX and Flow, and one of the brands whose spare parts Lucohe's AccuStream catalog covers.
• WardJet: US manufacturer of precision abrasive waterjet cutting machines with a strong reputation in stone, glass, and metal fabrication. Targets overlapping end markets to OMAX, including countertops, signage, and industrial parts — making it a relevant peer for industrial cutting equipment distribution.
• Resato International: Dutch high-pressure technology specialist manufacturing waterjet cutting machines and high-pressure pumps for industrial applications. Geographic proximity to Iberia and overlap with OMAX-style integrated systems make it a relevant emerging competitor in the European waterjet market.
• Hornet Cutting Systems: US-based manufacturer of abrasive waterjet cutting systems positioned at competitive price points for industrial and prototyping users. Overlaps with the entry-level (GlobalMAX, ProtoMAX) tier of the OMAX range that Lucohe sells, making it a comparable alternative for budget-conscious buyers.

Broad incumbents

• KMT Waterjet Systems: Leading manufacturer of high-pressure waterjet pumps and components used both in branded cutting systems and as OEM pumps inside other waterjet machines (including legacy Flow installations). Lucohe's partner AccuStream explicitly lists KMT-compatible spare parts, confirming direct product overlap.
• Shape Technologies (formerly Flow International): Global waterjet OEM with the largest installed base worldwide and a portfolio that includes Flow-branded waterjet machines and high-pressure pump technology. Competes head-to-head with OMAX in industrial waterjet cutting and is cited by Lucohe in its own competitive comparison.
• Bystronic: Swiss-listed broad-line manufacturer of sheet metal processing equipment including laser cutting, press brake, and automation systems. Overlaps with Lucohe in industrial cutting equipment sales to fabrication shops and represents the broader incumbent competitor for capital-equipment budget share.
• MicroStep: European manufacturer of CNC plasma, laser, and waterjet cutting systems for heavy industrial fabrication. Competes with Lucohe/OMAX for cutting-equipment capital budgets across Europe, particularly in steel service centers and shipyards.

Regional players

• STM Waterjet: Turkish manufacturer of waterjet cutting machines with growing European distribution. Offers a price-competitive alternative to OMAX and could compete with Lucohe in Iberia as an entry-point option for workshops seeking lower-cost equipment.

Direct peers

• TCI Cutting: Spanish-headquartered manufacturer of waterjet and CNC cutting systems that directly competes with OMAX-branded equipment in the Iberian market and is explicitly named by Lucohe as a competitor in its own buying-guide content. Same product category (abrasive waterjet machinery), same target customers (industrial workshops and fabricators), and same regional focus on Spain/Portugal.
