Pallmann opens office in Spain

The new subsidiary in Manresa near Barcelona is headed by Spanish-born engineer Carlos Gómez. He has been looking after Spanish- and Portuguese-speaking customers for several years from Pallmann's headquarters in Zweibrücken, Germany, and has completed numerous projects in various sectors in the region. Gómez has also been instrumental in the development of new equipment for tyre recycling that was made ready for the market together with a Spanish company.

According to the company, several hundred customers on the Iberian peninsula are currently working with machinery and equipment from Pallmann. Gómez and his employees are now looking to expand this broad base in strategic areas.

"With our new branch office close to customers, we now have an increased opportunity to be active in this important market,” says Gómez. “In particular, we are going to enhance our services – which does not mean the spare parts business, but rather the introduction of know-how, the development of individual size reduction solutions with our customers and potential customers.” He says this applies to Pallmann’s four major end-user sectors: plastics, wood, recycling and process industries.

In addition, Pallmann’s long-established Spanish distribution partners and representatives will work alongside the new subsidiary to look after their customers.
