Sistemas y Proyectos

What Sistemas y Proyectos does

Sistemas y Proyectos S.A. de C.V. is a private Salvadoran industrial intralogistics solutions provider founded in 1986 and headquartered in San Salvador, El Salvador. As the sole authorized Crown Equipment Corporation distributor in El Salvador, the company sells, rents, and services the complete Crown forklift line — including electric pallet trucks, stackers, counterbalanced forklifts, narrow-aisle reach trucks, trilateral forklifts, stockpickers, work-assist vehicles, towing tractors, and internal combustion models — alongside industrial storage rack systems, dock equipment (Serco), batteries and high-efficiency chargers (EnerSys/VForce), loading platforms and ramps (Autoquip, Maxon, Yale), aerial work platforms (Genie), industrial cleaning equipment (Nilfisk, Fiorentini), insulated containers (Olivo), and high-traffic doors (TKO, Chase Doors). The company also distributes a complementary Gaber/Conforto furniture line. Its proprietary technical differentiation rests on the Crown MonoLift mast (lift heights up to 17,145 mm), X-press descent technology (up to 73 meters/minute lowering), TSP regenerative descent, and VForce battery charging systems with up to 97% energy efficiency, rather than on any in-house software platform.

The business operates through two physical San Salvador locations — a sales showroom and administrative office at Colonia La Mascota, and a post-sale services and spare parts facility at 6a Calle Poniente — with go-to-market combining enterprise field sales, an advisory consultation intake form capturing operational parameters (load, lift heights, shift volumes, purchase-vs-rental preference), and a quote-based pricing model. Revenue is generated across four streams: one-time new equipment sales (new, certified pre-owned/Encore, and used), recurring rental fleet revenue, programmed and corrective maintenance services delivered by certified technicians using local original parts inventory, and spare parts sales. The company is part of a Central American business group with affiliated operations in Guatemala, Costa Rica (Distribuidora Larce), Honduras (ProLogística), and Nicaragua (Manisa), extending its regional reach across five countries while maintaining El Salvador as the sole Crown franchise territory.

The customer base spans industrial and manufacturing operations, logistics and distribution centers (primary segments), industrial cleaning buyers, and work-at-height operations (secondary segments), with a horizontal segmentation approach. No named customer logos or revenue concentration data are disclosed. Headcount falls within the 11-50 band, no funding rounds or institutional investors are identified, and the company operates as a privately held S.A. de C.V. without public listing. Over its 38-40 year history, the company has built its position on franchise exclusivity, certified technical service capability, locally stocked parts, and a multi-brand single-vendor solution portfolio.
