Teymasa, Resilience and Industry 4.0

The design and production of liquid product filling lines as well as elements related to the handling and movement of loads have been the main products that Teymasa has designed, manufactured and marketed. Within this range of products Teymasa stands out for its great knowledge in everything related to the packaging of flammable products, certifying the machinery according to ATEX regulations.

The reliability of its machines, together with its high degree of adaptability to find specific solutions, led it to be present in different plants such as BASF, Dow Chemical, REPSOL, Bayer, etc.

After being dragged into bankruptcy by the 2008 crisis, Teymasa had a difficult year, but she survived. In 2016 it changed ownership and began a new path. Once the financial issue was resolved, new markets were opened up and, at a productive level, alternatives to traditional machines began to be explored by introducing robotics into some processes.

The integration turned out to be a success, a very high percentage of new projects incorporate unusual technologies in the sectors in which it is present. We are talking about systems and technologies that are within the so-called Industry 4.0.

Unfortunately, the emergence of Covid-19 caused many companies to start postponing their investments. Teymasa then sought new business opportunities and found them linked, directly or indirectly, to new energy sources.

The growing global demand for electronic devices of all kinds, which incorporate batteries, photovoltaic panels, etc.… has generated a great demand for a number of minerals. This is where Teymasa put his focus until he got a big contract with a German company: a project to automate the handling of nickel cathodes in Russia. This project has been a great challenge both technically and financially.

More than 10,000 hours of mechanical, electrical and automation engineering have been allocated, integrating different equipment such as robots, conveyors, elevators, weighing scales, strapping machines, boxers, baggers,… Teymasa has taken a decisive step towards opening up 'a new line of business different from the traditional one.

In short, we have adapted our 43-year experience to new technologies to be more competitive, remain innovative, and aim for the 4.0 revolution.
