Konecranes has acquired the nuclear service and port service businesses of Coapsa Control Sl, a specialist in crane services based in Viladecavalls, Spain. The value of the acquisition, which supports Konecranes’ strategy to expand its Industrial and Ports Services businesses, is not being disclosed.

With the acquisition, effective from July 1, Konecranes expands its Spanish port and industrial service network with a competent and experienced team at the new location in Viladecavalls.

Coapsa Control Sl is specialized in crane services for nuclear and port customers including inspections, preventive maintenance, service, repairs and modernizations. The company was founded in 1997, with annual sales of approximately EUR 4 million and some 20 employees.

“Together with Konecranes, our entire team can continue their work and expand the business with confidence for the future,” says Mr. Jordi Calatayud Castañ and Joan Quintana Canudas, owners of Coapsa Control Sl.

“The acquisition strengthens Konecranes’ presence in Catalonia and the whole of Spain and ensures that the in-depth knowledge and expertise of Coapsa’s team remain accessible to nuclear and port customers,” says Catarina Lopez, Manager, Port Services, Konecranes.

A strong focus on customers and commitment to business growth and continuous improvement make Konecranes a material handling industry leader. This is underpinned by investments in digitalization and technology, plus the company’s work to make material flows more efficient with solutions that support the decarbonization of the economy and advance circularity and safety.
