From Penedès to the World: 
Tecma Drive’s International Journey
Tecma Drive is based in Sant Llorenç 
d’Hortons, a municipality of around 2,600 
inhabitants in the Penedès region of 
Catalonia, approximately 40 minutes from 
Barcelona. The area is well known for its 
winemaking tradition, but it is probably 
not the first place that comes to mind 
when thinking of an industrial company 
with an international reach.
And yet, from here, Tecma Drive 
has built a continuously growing 
international network.
By August 2026, Tecma Drive had 
reached customers in 33 countries, with 
a portfolio of 531 customers worldwide. 
Most of these markets are in Europe, 
although its international journey also 
extends further afield, with customers 
in countries such as Argentina, Brazil, 
Ecuador, India, Egypt and Uruguay.
Behind these figures lies more than 25 
years of experience in the rotation sector, 
combined with seven years as a family-
owned company. This milestone was 
celebrated on 31 October 2026.
For the company, the anniversary is more 
than simply a date on the calendar. It is 
an opportunity to recognise the people 
who have contributed to its journey and 
strengthen the bonds within the team.
To mark the occasion, the Tecma Drive 
team and their families came together for 
a special day focused on spending time 
together, strengthening relationships and 
reinforcing team spirit.
For a small company working increasingly 
in an international market, having a 
strong and committed team is particularly 
important. International growth creates 
new opportunities, but also new 
challenges that require people to work 
closely together.
The challenge of being international
Serving customers in different countries 
involves much more than communicating 
in different languages or understanding 
different markets.
Transport, customs procedures, delivery 
times and changing logistics conditions 
have become an increasingly important 
part of international business. A shipment 
that may appear straightforward can 
involve very different requirements 
depending on its destination.
For this reason, maintaining stock in 
Barcelona has become an important 
part of Tecma Drive’s international 
development. Having material locally 
available provides greater flexibility and 
can help shorten delivery times when 
customers need a quick response.
International distributors and partners 
also play an essential role. Their 
knowledge of local markets, applications 
and business practices is difficult to 
replace from a distance. Building long-
term relationships with these partners 
has therefore become an important part 
of Tecma Drive’s international journey.
A small company with an 
international outlook
Tecma Drive’s story is, in many ways, 
one of contrasts: a small family-owned 
company based in a small Catalan 
municipality, working with customers and 
partners across dozens of countries.
The company continues to grow while 
retaining some of the advantages of 
being a relatively small organisation: 
close communication, flexibility and 
direct relationships with customers 
and partners.
That is why the seventh anniversary is 
both a celebration and an opportunity to 
look towards the future.
From Sant Llorenç d’Hortons, in the heart 
of the Penedès region, Tecma Drive 
has built its international journey one 
relationship at a time, one market at a 
time and one shipment at a time.
And the journey continues.
