QUIBAC SL

What QUIBAC SL does

QUIBAC, S.L. is a Terrassa (Barcelona), Spain-based electrical engineering firm founded in 1973 that delivers the full lifecycle of lightning protection systems (SPCR) and grounding/earthing (puesta a tierra) services to industrial, commercial, and residential clients across Spain. Its offering covers design, installation, preventive inspection (both on-site and remote), conformity assessment as an ENAC-accredited Type C inspection entity (No. 41/EI069), technical analysis, and specialized training. The company operates two wholly-owned subsidiaries — Quibac Entidad de Inspección SL and Quibac Entidad de Control SL — that house its accredited inspection and Catalonia building-quality-control activities, respectively.

The technology stack pairs physical engineering with proprietary digital assets. The TOHMY®/TOHMY+ IoT device (protected by utility models U202131042 and U202331792, and the TOHMY® trademark) provides remote telemetry of grounding system impedance using fall-of-potential and loop methods, with auxiliary sensors for continuity, temperature, humidity, and pH; data is transmitted to a cloud SaaS platform with mobile/web dashboards, alarms, and ML-based predictive maintenance. The Geatech Soft platform runs AI-driven distributed-computing simulations and 3D visualizations for lightning protection, grounding systems, magnetic fields, and regulatory compliance evaluations against UNE 21186, UNE EN 62305, CTE DB SUA-8, and REBT.

Revenue is generated through quote-based, one-time installation contracts (Franklin rods, Faraday cages, ESE terminals, custom electrode configurations), recurring professional services for inspection and technical analysis (over 8,000 verifications and 1,300+ interventions per year), and emerging managed-services streams from TOHMY® device-as-a-service and the April 2026 Hybrid Inspection Service (SIH). Go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales across Spain, supported by a website contact form, phone, email, an active LinkedIn presence, technical content marketing, and selective industry conference participation (e.g., AEE wind energy, 2025). The company holds ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001:2015, Bureau Veritas ES028599, and a €1.2M civil liability policy, reinforcing its positioning as a regulated, compliance-led service provider rather than a product software company.
