Together with Madrid, Seville and Bilbao, Barcelona is a key FERCHAU Spain site. We operate in three key industries from our branch in Catalonia: automotive, energy and rail vehicles. Comprehensive expertise in information and communication technology represents a further component of our portfolio – both for the IT industry as well as for all other sectors.

The key work that we perform from Barcelona includes development and design, as well as simulation, testing and validation. A further focus of our team’s work is on production support. This particularly relates to production planning and optimisation, quality assurance, process management, digital manufacturing and ergonomics.

The northern Spanish coastal city of Bilbao is the industrial centre of the Basque region. Many well-known manufacturers and suppliers from various industries have located here and the economy is booming. The focus of the FERCHAU site is on Industry 4.0-related process optimisation, as well as mechanical engineering and software development. Digitalisation in particular offers major growth potential, as many companies in the region are currently working to transform their processes. Process analysis, controls development and automation solutions as well as start-up support services are all called for. Development projects in electrics/electronics and smart grids are also undertaken at the site.
