SODECA

What SODECA does

SODECA, S.L.U. is a privately held Spanish manufacturer of industrial ventilation, smoke extraction, and pressurization systems, headquartered in Sant Quirze de Besora (Barcelona), Spain, and operating through wholly-owned subsidiaries in Portugal, Finland, the United Kingdom, Italy, Chile, Peru, Colombia, and Norway under the corporate parent SODECA HOLDING, S.L. The company's catalog spans centrifugal and axial fans, roof extractors, ATEX-certified explosion-proof equipment, 400°C/2h and 300°C/2h fire-rated smoke evacuation fans, staircase and lobby pressurization systems with control panels, and EC Technology high-efficiency motors at IE5 efficiency class. Product lines also address marine and naval applications under BV, DNV, and LR classifications, as well as residential ventilation (AIRHOME heat-recovery units) and indoor air treatment, giving SODECA broad vertical coverage from industrial process ventilation to residential IAQ.

SODECA's technology base combines proprietary EC motor electronics (integrated 0-10V/4-20mA regulation, fire mode function, IP55 protection) with engineered fire-safety subsystems including pressurization control panels (BOXSMART II, BOXPRES PLUS II) with Modbus RTU BMS connectivity and ATEX II 2G/2D certified fans with Ex db/Ex eb/Ex tb motors. The portfolio is supported by digital specification tools (QuickFan Selector, Air Purifier Quick Selector, a 2,000+ model CAD 3D library distributed via TraceParts across 40+ formats) that are designed to embed SODECA into engineering firms' BIM and project-design workflows. Certifications including EN 12101-3 for smoke extraction and marine society approvals function as regulatory moats alongside the ATEX product line.

The business model is a sales-led, consultative hardware sale: SODECA generates revenue primarily through the manufacture and direct sale of industrial fans and engineered ventilation systems, with pricing conducted on a quote/project basis rather than via published price lists. Customers include engineering firms, contractors, and end-users across industrial manufacturing, commercial buildings, infrastructure (tunnels, parking), data centers, hazardous-atmosphere facilities (chemical, refinery, grain), marine/naval, and residential segments. Local sales and technical consulting are delivered through the subsidiary network, with centralized engineering and production in Spain.
