Industrial sourcing in Spain and the Basque Country – qualified workshops for complex projects

Industrial sourcing in Spain has become a strategic alternative for French manufacturers facing growing constraints on cost, lead times and production capacity. The Spanish Basque Country, in particular, has a dense industrial base historically focused on mechanical engineering, welded fabrications, machining and the manufacturing of complex industrial assemblies. Backed by a strong industrial culture and workshops equipped with modern production resources, Spain can deliver demanding projects requiring technical rigor, flexibility and reliable commitments. MC26 supports industrial companies with sourcing in Spain by securing the selection, qualification and RFQ process with workshops aligned with each project’s technical and industrial requirements.
