What Set does

SET PRAT PAPER DISTRIBUCIONS, S.A. (operating as SET) is a privately held Spanish B2B industrial supplies distributor headquartered in Sant Feliu de Llobregat, Barcelona (CIF A58707340). The company distributes paper, cardboard, plastic, packaging materials, industrial consumables, and machinery to six customer segments: general industry, graphic arts, packaging, photography, logistics/warehousing, and large corporations. Operations are organized into three sub-brand divisions — SET Industrial, SET PrintPro (digital printing), and TechProSet (technology solutions) — serving as both go-to-market channels and vertical specializations within a single unified distribution business.

The company's operational backbone comprises approximately 9,000 product references, 3,000 m² of warehouse capacity split between Barcelona and Madrid, and a daily nationwide delivery service across Spain that processes hundreds of orders per day. Distribution is conducted through an in-house commercial team, a company-operated call center, and direct B2B sales with personalized advisory. SET holds official factory distributor status for PRETEX special paper used in race bib numbers (dorsales), an authorized-distribution relationship that anchors part of its product exclusivity. Customer-facing infrastructure includes a multi-language corporate website (Catalan and Castilian) and dedicated account management for large-corporate clients, including security deposit arrangements and dedicated transport.

The business model is transactional product distribution with no subscription or recurring revenue component disclosed. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly listed. The company is independently owned with no disclosed parent, no institutional investors, no funding rounds, and no M&A activity on record. Governance rests with a single administrator (Montse Saliner Catalán) and auditing by HISPALOAN AUDITORES S.L. No app, API, or proprietary technology platform is disclosed; the company's trademark is registered but no patents or certifications are on file. Revenue, headcount, and founding year are not disclosed in available source material.
