Guibe

What Guibe does

Guibe, legally TALLERES GUIBE, S.A., is a Spanish industrial manufacturer headquartered in Irura, Gipuzkoa, operating as part of the Goizper Group's Industrial Business division. The company designs and manufactures custom power transmission components, primarily industrial gearboxes, for heavy-industry customers across cement, mining, steel, sugar, and energy production. With more than 40 years of operating history, Guibe is positioned as a project-driven, engineering-led supplier rather than a high-volume catalog producer. Its order book includes large custom units, exemplified by a 65-tonne gearbox retrofit delivered to Heidelberg Materials in June 2025, and a Torque Splitter supplied to the Colombian sugar industry in September 2025.

The technical offering rests on proprietary gear-design know-how, including in-house microgeometry calculation methods, and a manufacturing process stack now being extended through an R&D partnership with Tekniker Technology Centre focused on laser quenching. Alongside core manufacturing, Guibe runs a gearbox repair and maintenance service that supports the installed base. The company has extended into digital product lines with SmartG and SmartiGi, a cyber-physical Industry 4.0 platform that captures vibration data via MQTT and applies anomaly detection and predictive analytics, including lubricant particle analysis, for condition-based maintenance.

Commercially, Guibe operates a quote-based, project-driven revenue model with high contract values per unit and lumpy recognition tied to delivery milestones. Go-to-market combines direct enterprise sales for large custom projects with an indirect channel built on a global distributor network spanning Europe, the Americas, Asia-Pacific, and Africa. The company holds ISO 9001:2015 certification (obtained 2022) and has announced a photovoltaic installation at its Irura facility, signaling investment in energy cost reduction and ESG positioning relevant to enterprise procurement criteria.
