Three decades with a single philosophy: our secret lies in the personalised care taken over each and every product

Ucalsa -Utillaje y Calderería SA- was founded in 1986 as an entrepreneurial opportunity in light of the experienced naval industry in the Vigo Estuary. What started out as a small boilermaking workshop for local shipyards has now become, three decades later, the main supplier of structural elements such as doors and hatches for the entire Spanish naval sector, with a modern factory spanning more than 10,000 square metres and more than 60 employees. It can be said that most of the vessels built in Spain today include elements with UCALSA stamp. Our vocation for the manufacture of customised products that cannot be mass produced led us to new segments and the development of new products. The new, 10,000 square metres factory boasts the latest technology to treat metal, but most important, still maintains the meticulousness of the technical department and each operator.

In our new factory facilities - a modern and functional factory of more than 10,000 square meters inaugurated in 2018 - we have established innovative production systems to be more efficient with each order, from the way we receive the raw materials to the introduction of a program of continuing quality improvement established throughout the entire production process, all under the ongoing supervision of our process engineering.

Customised and personalization manufacturing is directly related to quality processes, because each new job requires new protocols, new ways of doing things and more quality controls. Over the past three decades, the entire Ucalsa team has acquired an extraordinary level of training. Developing projects in accordance with the requirements of our customers has provided us with the experience and resources to resolve any challenge we are faced with.

Personalizing each project has enabled us to develop an extraordinary strength to improve and resolve the needs of our customers.
