Intermob S.a.

What Intermob S.a. does

Intermob S.a. is a Chilean metal furniture manufacturer founded in 1992 in Santiago, designing, producing, and selling custom and standard metal furniture components across five B2B vertical segments: office, healthcare and hospital, gastronomy and food service, commercial retail, and educational institutions. The company serves Chilean B2B customers including office furniture distributors, hospitals, restaurants, retailers, and schools through a direct, sales-led go-to-market with quote-based one-time transactions and no disclosed resellers or distributor channels. Customer acquisition is driven by inbound contact via a website form, phone, and physical visits to the Maipú plant; pricing is not publicly disclosed.

The company operates an 8,000 m2 manufacturing plant on an 18,000 m2 site in Maipú, Santiago, established in 2013, with prior operations dating to a 2001 Maipú facility. Production is anchored by modern capital equipment including TRUMPF fiber optic sheet metal and tube laser cutters (2018-2019), a Salvagnini automatic panelizer (2016), Panasonic MIG welding robotics (2019), CNC punching and bending lines, and electrostatic painting lines. In-house design engineering uses Autodesk Inventor and AutoCAD for structural calculation and material optimization, supporting custom product development alongside standard catalog offerings. The company also offers contract manufacturing services — laser cutting, welding, bending, and painting — to other businesses, monetizing installed capacity beyond captive furniture production.

Revenue is generated through one-time, project-based sales of metal furniture products and contract manufacturing services within the Chilean domestic market; no international expansion, external funding, M&A activity, or recurring-revenue model is disclosed. The company is structured as a privately held Chilean corporation (S.A.) with family ownership and 26+ years of continuous operation.
