PALFINGER has invested around EUR 20 million to further strengthen its presence in Spain and Portugal. As PALFINGER Ibérica celebrates its tenth anniversary, the new Sales & Service Hub marks the next chapter in the company’s development. It enhances customer proximity and creates the foundation for further profitable growth in the Iberian market.

PALFINGER today officially opened its new Sales & Service Hub in Madrid. Covering 22,000 m², the facility brings sales, service, mounting, logistics and spare parts operations together at a single location. Spain and Portugal are strategically important markets for PALFINGER within EMEA. With the new hub, the company is expanding its operational footprint and reinforcing its long-term commitment to the Iberian market.

Expanding Capacity in the Iberian Market

The new hub increases the number of mounting lines from 10 to 16, enabling higher output and greater flexibility to meet market demand. The consolidated setup also shortens coordination paths and provides direct access to commercial, technical and service know-how. It also incorporates renewable energy systems, energy-efficient windows, intelligent lighting and automated climate control. These measures optimize energy consumption and reduce the building’s environmental footprint.

“We strongly believe in the long-term potential of Spain and Portugal. The new Sales & Service Hub in Madrid is much more than a new facility. It reflects our commitment to growing together with our customers, strengthening our local presence and creating the foundation for the next decade of success throughout the Iberian market,” says Andreas Klauser, CEO of PALFINGER.

Sales, Service and Mounting at One Location  

Held under the motto “Building the Future Together”, the opening highlighted the close cooperation between PALFINGER, its customers, partners and employees and honored the tenth anniversary of PALFINGER Ibérica.

“Today’s opening reflects what we have achieved together over the past ten years. The integrated setup at the Madrid hub brings key functions together and expands our mounting capacity, supporting collaboration across teams and enabling more efficient processes. It takes our operational performance to the next level and helps us deliver the quality and reliability our customers expect,” says Jörg Schopferer, Managing Director of PALFINGER Ibérica.

A Strategic Foundation for Further Growth

The new Sales & Service Hub in Madrid contributes to the three directions of PALFINGER’s Strategy 2030+: Lifting Customer Value, Balanced Profitable Growth and Execution Excellence. By strengthening local capabilities, expanding operational capacity and making processes more efficient, the new facility translates these strategic priorities into concrete action.
