PIRIS S.A.

What PIRIS S.A. does

PIRIS S.A. is a Barcelona-based B2B distributor of electrical, mechanical, and electronic components serving industrial manufacturers across Europe. Founded in 1980 and headquartered in Barcelona with operations from a warehouse facility in Barberà del Vallès, the company operated with a lean team of 8 employees prior to its full acquisition by ERMEC S.L. (part of Grupo Omega) on November 4, 2025. The combined entity now trades under the brand 'Piris - Ermec', integrating PIRIS into a broader European distribution platform.

The company's product catalog spans more than 20 categories of industrial components, including switches, microswitches, emergency switches (IP67), cable glands, ATEX/IECEx-certified components for explosive atmospheres, oven lamps rated up to 300°C with VDE homologation, motors, solenoid valves, PCB terminal blocks, transformers, thermostats and thermal protectors (SENSATA/Klixon), pressure switches, temperature probes, signal lights, and electronic control systems. PIRIS acts primarily as a value-added distributor representing European manufacturing partners including EVEREL, IMS, SEDES, SENSATA, GIOVENZANA, SISME, ROLD, DE CONTROLS, NOVA ELEKTRIK, JACOB, EURO-BLOCK, MITEC, ROBERTSHAW, FEREL and KÖRNER, with products carrying multiple international certifications (CE, VDE, UL, ATEX, IECEx, IMQ, ENEC) to meet industrial OEM compliance requirements.

PIRIS generates revenue through hardware sales on a quote-based B2B model with no publicly disclosed pricing. Its go-to-market is enterprise field sales targeting manufacturers across hospitality machinery, household appliances, industrial refrigeration, HVAC, PCB assembly, wiring harness, lighting, electromedicine, renewable energy and hydromassage sectors. Marketing is conducted primarily through trade show participation across European fairs (Matelec, HOSTELCO, HOST Milano, MCE Milano, TECNIPÃO, Euroluce, C&R Fair) and direct inquiry via its multilingual website. No revenue figures, funding rounds, or AI/technology capabilities were disclosed in the source material.
