What Urbidermis Sl. does

Urbidermis S.L. is a Spanish designer and manufacturer of urban infrastructure for public spaces, headquartered at Parc de Belloch in La Roca del Vallès with a warehouse facility in Cardedeu. The company was formally incorporated in 2014 but traces its operational history to 1987 through Santa & Cole's urban division, which it fully absorbed in 2023. Its product portfolio spans four integrated categories: urban lighting (floodlights, luminaires, streetlights, pathway lights, wall lamps, plus connected variants such as the Rama luminaire); urban furniture (benches, tables, planters, drinking fountains, bicycle racks, bollards, handrails, litter bins and cigarette bins); microarchitecture (pergolas and shelters, including photovoltaic variants that generate onsite renewable energy); and urban forestry delivered through the wholly-owned Belloch Forestal Nursery (acquired 2021). The company also publishes design books and operates a consultancy service for complex, multicultural and multidisciplinary urban projects.

The business model is B2B enterprise sales sold quote-by-quote directly to municipal governments, landscape architecture firms, urban planners and large private operators, with no disclosed standard pricing tiers. Revenue is generated through one-time product sales, professional consultancy engagements, and a smaller publication/hardware sales line. The customer base spans at least 10 countries across Europe, North America and the Middle East, including projects with the cities of Barcelona, Madrid, Houston, Miami and Irvine, alongside enterprise clients in healthcare, education, marina and corporate-campus segments. The company holds B Corp certification (2018), maintains a multilingual digital presence (EN/FR/ES/DE), and participates in the ICEX Next Programme with European Regional Development Fund co-financing to support internationalization.
