Xarxa Industrial de Catalunya

What Xarxa Industrial de Catalunya does

Xarxa Industrial de Catalunya is a B2B platform operated by PSI RUTALIA, S.L., founded in 2017 and headquartered in Santa Coloma de Gramenet, Barcelona, that aggregates industrial and commercial businesses across Catalonia for visibility and inter-company communication. The platform combines three service lines: digital visibility (online business profiles, social media presence, and a public directory at xarxaindustrial.net organized by sector, population, and specialty), digital communication (member-exclusive chat and video conferencing rooms powered by Jitsi Meet), and physical visibility (printed business directories installed in industrial estates (PAEs) and customized QR-code aluminum plaques placed at member premises). The ecosystem spans 7,450+ registered companies, 400+ industrial estate directories, 170+ Catalan municipalities, 32 industrial sectors, and 560+ specialties, with partnerships to 20+ industrial estate associations supporting distribution.

The underlying technology stack is intentionally lightweight: a web-based directory platform with search across sectors and populations, Jitsi Meet for open-source video conferencing, Google reCAPTCHA for bot protection, and Google Analytics for web traffic measurement. There are no public APIs, SDKs, or mobile applications; access is browser-based through xarxaindustrial.net. The platform does not disclose AI/ML capabilities, pricing tiers, or revenue figures.

The business model appears to be membership- and service-based, monetizing through subscriptions for the closed communication features and fees for physical services such as QR plaque production and PAE directory placement. The customer base is overwhelmingly SMBs across diverse industrial trades (metalwork, signage, transport, automotive, welding, electrical equipment), supplemented by a small number of larger enterprises (e.g., SAF-Holland, Moldtrans, Köster, Famatel) appearing as directory listings. Geographic scope is restricted to Catalonia, and the firm operates with a stated team of five employees and no disclosed external funding.

Direct peers

• Thomasnet: Thomasnet is a leading B2B industrial directory and sourcing platform in North America. It is directly comparable to Xarxa Industrial as a sector-organized, location-organized industrial supplier discovery and company-profile platform serving SMB and enterprise manufacturers.
• Kompass: Kompass is a global B2B directory platform offering company profiles, sector and geographic search, and supplier discovery across more than 70 countries. It mirrors Xarxa Industrial's core offering of paid visibility profiles, sector search, and regional supplier directories, with stronger international reach.
• Europages: Europages is a European B2B sourcing and directory platform active across multiple European countries. It is directly comparable to Xarxa Industrial as a pan-European B2B directory focused on supplier discovery for industrial and commercial buyers.

Regional players

• Solostocks: Solostocks is a Spanish-language B2B marketplace for products, services, and leads, primarily serving Spain and Latin America. Comparable to Xarxa Industrial as a regional B2B directory/marketplace focused on Spanish-speaking industrial and commercial SMBs, though with broader geographic scope and a transactional slant.
• ExportHub: ExportHub is a global B2B marketplace for exporters and suppliers, with a strong presence in Asia and emerging markets. It serves the same industrial/SMB customer segment as Xarxa Industrial with directory listings and supplier discovery, though with cross-border rather than regional scope.

Broad incumbents

• Alibaba: Alibaba is the largest global B2B marketplace connecting manufacturers and suppliers with buyers worldwide. While vastly larger, it competes for the same industrial SMB customer mindshare that Xarxa Industrial targets, particularly for visibility and lead generation.
• Yelp: Yelp is a consumer-facing business directory with reviews and profiles. It competes as a free general-purpose business directory alternative to Xarxa Industrial's directory offering, although it lacks the industrial-estate-specific distribution and B2B focus.
• LinkedIn: LinkedIn is the dominant professional networking and company-profile platform globally. Its company pages and supplier-discovery features overlap with Xarxa Industrial's B2B networking and visibility value proposition, and it offers a free alternative for company visibility and direct messaging.
• Dun & Bradstreet: Dun & Bradstreet is a global business data and directory provider serving enterprise customers with company intelligence and supplier discovery. It overlaps with Xarxa Industrial's industrial company-directory concept at the enterprise intelligence layer, though it targets large corporations rather than industrial SMBs.

Emerging players

• Houzz Pro: Houzz Pro offers a directory, project leads, and communication tools for design and construction SMBs. It is comparable to Xarxa Industrial as a sector-specific B2B directory-plus-tools platform for SMBs, though focused on construction/design rather than industrial sectors broadly.
