Warak Consulting

What Warak Consulting does

Warak Consulting, S.L.U. is a Barcelona-headquartered (Sant Feliu de Codines) Spanish engineering company founded in 1999 by industrial engineer Joaquim Vilà Capdevila. It designs, manufactures and installs vertical warehouses, intralogistics systems, and software for corrugated cardboard factories, and operates additional sites including a manufacturing facility in Zaragoza (Warak Ecotechnologies). The company is organized into three core business units—Machinery, Logistics, and Engineering—supplemented by subsidiaries Warakblock (digital intralogistics simulation) and TEKNIC ECOTECHNOLOGIES (water treatment), and holds exclusive representation rights for major OEMs such as Fosber, Dong Fang/EDF, Eterna, and Crespel & Deiters in Spain and Portugal.

The core product offering spans corrugators, casemakers, rotary die-cutters and converting peripherals (represented and resold); proprietary vertical WIP storage systems with variable-fork transelevators and a control software platform; modular starch kitchens (WarakTeknic) delivered as turnkey projects; a proprietary 3D digital twin simulation program used to model factory logistics and de-risk capital investments; and an MBR compact module for wastewater treatment. Technical differentiation is concentrated in domain-specific designs such as EDF's 'Only One Motor' servomotor architecture, dual-fold casemaker enhancements for high-speed small-box production, and a 5-pair Hendido-Rayado scoring-slitting unit with independent mini-motor control.

The business model combines commission-based machinery representation (transaction fees on OEM equipment sold into Iberia) with professional-services revenue from custom turnkey engineering projects, feasibility studies, and digital simulation engagements sold directly to international corrugated manufacturers. Go-to-market is consultative enterprise field sales supported by a multilingual website (eight languages), a technical blog, trade-show presence at FEFCO and ACCCSA, and a growing international commercial-agent network. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. The customer base is enterprise corrugated cardboard manufacturers—logos include Saica, Smurfit Kappa, DS Smith, Hinojosa, MODEL Group, Atlantic Packaging and others—across at least 17 countries.
