Founded in 1982 by Francisco Vaquero, the Neuwalme company from Vigo has evolved to become a global supplier with a growing international presence, with prominent allies such as the North American multinational company Parker Hannifin. The Vaquero family company, based in Fragosiño and with three manufacturing plants, is dedicated to offering movement solutions based on oil-hydraulic, pneumatic and mechatronic technologies.
The company began its career as a component manufacturer with close ties to the automotive sector, which supports an entire ecosystem of companies with a high innovative drive around the beacon activity of PSA. By incorporating different areas of activity, beginning with the electromechanics and control department, Neuwalme has become a global supplier, capable of bringing its products to twenty international markets and offering comprehensive solutions for various sectors, such as the { 3>naval sector or the energy sector.
Today, the company run by Ramón Illarri offers a complete service that ranges from components to consulting, design, logistics, assembly, manufacturing and technical assistance. The latest milestone in this development was the creation in 2016 of Inmake Studio, a company for additive manufacturing and 3D printing.
FROM COMPONENTS COMPANY TO BUSINESS GROUP
A turning point in the trajectory of this company, with facilities in the Vigo Technology Park, was its alliance with Parker Hannifin, the North American corporation with a turnover of 14 billion dollars based in Ohio.
Neuwalme signed a distribution agreement with the multinational in 2005, allowing it to incorporate the Parker product catalogue and, in 2009, ended up becoming the first Premier level Parker Distributor in Europe and the only distributor in Spain.
The Neuwalme Group was created in 2015, splitting the component sales company into a group of companies. The Vaquero family set up a 3D printing subsidiary, the NEUWALME APS Center (Advanced Piping Solutions) in the Technology Park and NAK, its automotive services company in Tangier, Morocco.
