Subcontracting in Spain

The industrial world is increasingly looking to specialisation to improve a product’s ultimate competitiveness. This leads to the decentralisation of part of the production process by companies that subcontract the manufacture of products and production processes to specialised companies. To achieve this, a close relationship is created between the company (contractor) and the supplier (subcontractor) which is characterised by increased responsibility, mutual trust and joint participation in the company’s activity.

The supplier is no longer a supplier, but an essential part of the final product manufactured by the contracting company.

Spain is a country with a clear industrial tradition. This has made the development of industrial subcontracting a key factor in the development of industrial products.

Data from the network of Industrial Subcontracting Exchanges (SubcontEX) of the Chambers of Commerce, shows that Spanish industrial subcontracting companies represent:

  • Nearly 11% of total industrial production in Spain.
  • Sales of nearly €40 billion in 2001
  • 19,000 SMEs operate in this sector.
  • Primarily domestic capital.
  • Employment for over 250,000 workers.
  • Higher than average investment in R&D for Spanish industrial companies.

The network of Industrial Subcontracting Exchanges (SubcontEX) of the Chambers of  Commerce manages this Spanish industrial subcontracting website. Its objectives include promoting Spanish products and services from industrial subcontracting companies, facilitating contact with client companies. The site makes it possible to contact companies that are able to offer their services abroad.

We invite you to discover the possibilities offered by these companies and to work with them to improve the competitiveness of your industrial product.
