Ibercisa’s winching milestone
Ibercisa Deck Machinery, specialising in deck machinery for the fishing and maritime industries, has achieved a winching milestone while celebrating its 50th anniversary.
During the last 365 days, Ibercisa has designed, produced and distributed 365 winches. In 2019 the company reached a turnover of over €27m in sales, mostly due to foreign markets and with strong diversification, both in countries and market sectors.
In 2020, the company will focus on new projects and investments, including an increase in its production capacity.
The production plant will be renovated to provide around 1,000m2 more space, The plant will also benefit from an increase in electrical power, which will give more capacity in welding and machining processes, as well as reinforcing assembly and test lines.
The company will strengthen the development of Ibercisa T&S (technology and services), which boasts a group of automation and electromechanics engineers and technicians working continuously on new and innovative projects related to staff growth and new technologies.
Simultaneously, the company is working on a strategic agreement with Siemens to include development and improvement of onboard data processing using edge computing technology for better reports, indications and alarms, and therefore safer monitoring systems and remote assistance.
Thirdly, 2020 will see Ibercisa widening and developing its after sales service (SAT).
