Fluidmecánica was born with the purpose of designing, manufacturing, and marketing naval machinery, oil-hydraulic controls and transmissions and pneumatic applications.
Since 1977, and in order to respond to the demands of domestic and international markets, Fluidmecánica’s production processes has two ways: manufacture of naval machinery and pneumatic and hydraulic systems under exclusive design and manufacture to order, according to each customer’s specific requirements.
Our adaptation to demand has led Fluidmecánica to be considered a market leader in the manufacture and sale of hydraulic stearing gear, anchor windlasses, pneumatic controls for engines and thrusters, pneumatic controls for variable pitch propeller systems, hydraulic marine cranes, fishing winches, oceanographic winches andhydraulic drive systems.
Fluidmecánica has offices in Ferrol, Madrid, Cartagena and Chiclana de la Frontera.
Fluidmecánica supplies machinery for cargo ships, tugboats and icebreakers, leisure boats, fishing boats, etc.
Fluidmecánica has vast experience in the design and manufacture of deck equipment (winches, cranes, …) for all types of vessels without draft and speed limitations, and manoeuvring equipment (thrusters, steering gears, …), adapting the machinery to the customer’s needs, as well as for extreme environmental characteristics.
