What ABAIN COMPONENTS,,,SL does

ABAIN COMPONENTS S.L. is a Spanish private limited company (sociedad limitada) founded in 2003 and headquartered in Irún, Gipuzkoa, Spain, operating from a 1500 square meter manufacturing plant plus 200 square meters of commercial and technical offices. Since April 2023 the company has been a subsidiary of Azol Gas Group — described as the leading Spanish manufacturer of nitrogen gas cylinders and a world leader in die-making and stamping applications, operating in more than 40 countries with major automobile and appliance OEM clients and TIER-1 supply chain companies — and serves as Azol's primary reference for its Industrial division.

The company designs and manufactures gas springs (cylinders), gas lifts, and height-adjustable table columns. Its core technology is a double-tube (Non Self Supporting) gas cylinder construction in which the outer Ø28 tube bears the chair's weight while the inner Ø23 cartridge contains nitrogen gas pressure; this is positioned as superior in safety to single-tube self-supporting alternatives. The portfolio is organized into three lines: gas springs for seating (Standard DC, swiveling-only EG, short EGC, self-centering R, non-swiveling DA, stainless X, and foot-activated P series); gas lifts for bed boxes, canapés, wallbeds (TA and F series with retention and closing brakes), and hotel beds (with self-blocking initial ascent); and Ø31 and Ø50 height-adjustable table columns. Differentiated variants include AISI316 stainless steel with grease retainer for humid and laboratory environments, anti-shock and combined dual-lift configurations for heavy lids, and an anti-static option.

Commercially, Abain operates a B2B sales-led model selling directly to furniture manufacturers, their technical departments, designers and prescribers worldwide, with daily truck and maritime cargo dispatched globally from Irún. Revenue is generated through hardware sales across the three product lines plus a custom cylinder design service where clients specify measurements, base height, mechanism, and upholstery for tailored solutions; pricing is not publicly disclosed. Products are certified to UNE-EN 1335-3:2001 and BS5459-2.2000 for office and gas spring performance standards. Customer segments include upper-middle-range furniture OEMs across seating, beds/sofas, and tables, plus industrial clients in stamping and die-making accessed via the Azol Gas Group channel.
