What autoequip iberica sa does

Autoequip Iberica S.A. is a Spanish privately-held industrial equipment manufacturer headquartered in Montmeló, Barcelona, that designs, manufactures, installs, and maintains industrial washing systems for trains, trams, buses, railway vehicles, and military vehicles. With more than 40 years of operating history, the company's core product is automated washing equipment integrated with proprietary water-treatment systems — biological, physico-chemical (Depuradora AMS 3000), and membrane bioreactor (MBR) units — that recycle water, reduce consumption, and include legionella-prevention disinfection. The product range also includes ancillary depot equipment such as industrial vacuum cleaners, paint booths, train sandblasting systems, and graffiti-washing installations, supported by custom engineering design and multi-year maintenance service contracts.

The business operates a direct enterprise sales model through dedicated Commercial and Technical departments, targeting primarily public-sector buyers: municipal and regional transit authorities, national railways, and state security and military organizations. Disclosed named customers include TMB (Barcelona), FGC (Catalonia), EUSKOTREN (Basque Country), UME (Spanish Military Emergency Unit across five sites), TPG (Geneva), SNCF (France), and TUB (Braga, Portugal). The company is ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 14001:2015 certified, and describes itself as a homologated official supplier to State organisms and Security Forces.

Revenue is generated through three streams: (i) capital equipment sales of industrial washing machines and integrated water-treatment modules, (ii) custom engineering, installation, and commissioning services for each project, and (iii) recurring maintenance services for installed equipment. Pricing is quotation-based and not publicly disclosed. The company is privately held with no disclosed parent, investors, funding rounds, patents, partnerships, or leadership team bios — limiting visibility into its financial scale and growth trajectory.

Direct peers

• ISTOBAL: Spanish-headquartered manufacturer of vehicle wash systems (cars, trucks, buses, and rail). Most direct competitor given overlapping product line in industrial/bus/rail washing equipment and shared Iberian market presence.
• R+S Group (Roller Group): German specialist in washing systems for buses, commercial vehicles, and rail. Direct competitor in the bus and rail vehicle washing niche with comparable transit operator customer base in Europe.

Broad incumbents

• WashTec AG: Germany-based global leader in vehicle washing technology, including commercial vehicle and bus wash systems. Comparable through industrial washing equipment for fleets and transit operators, though with much broader product scope.
• Otto Christ AG: German manufacturer of vehicle wash systems for cars, trucks, buses, and rail vehicles. Directly comparable product overlap in transit and bus washing, serving European rail operators.
• Alfred Kärcher SE & Co. KG: Global leader in cleaning technology offering industrial and commercial cleaning equipment including pressure washing systems. Comparable through industrial cleaning equipment category, but operates across a much broader cleaning portfolio.
• Nilfisk: Danish manufacturer of professional cleaning equipment including industrial pressure washers and floor cleaning systems. Comparable through industrial pressure-washing equipment category serving commercial and public-sector customers.

Others

• Aquarion (Veolia Water Technologies): Provider of industrial water treatment and recycling systems. Comparable not as a washing-equipment competitor but as an ecosystem participant in industrial water treatment that may integrate with or compete against Autoequip's integrated MBR/biological treatment modules.

Regional players

• Tenax Sistemes Industrials: Spanish industrial engineering firm specializing in custom industrial washing and surface treatment installations. Comparable regional player in the Iberian industrial-washing market with overlapping transit and industrial customer base.
