The Spanish market for industrial laser machinery and CNC press brakes is undergoing a transformation. The supply has multiplied: European giants with decades of history compete with a wave of Asian manufacturers arriving with aggressive prices but, in many cases, without the necessary infrastructure to provide service in Spain. This guide is born to help you make the best purchasing decision, with real data from the Spanish market in 2026.
The three segments of the Spanish market
When looking for a laser cutting machine, laser welder, laser cleaner or CNC press brake in Spain, you will encounter three very different types of suppliers. Understanding their differences is key to avoiding surprises after the purchase.
| European | Chinese (importers) | LUCOHE / KAMAK | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Estimated Price | ×2 – ×3 over reference High | Base reference Variable | Competitive, quality included Optimal |
| Technical Service | In-house in Spain, expensive per intervention | Depends on the importer. Many without local technicians | In-house in Spain. Trained technicians, fast response In-house |
| Spare Parts | Stock in Europe, short lead times but high cost | From China: 3-6 weeks. No local warehouse | Own warehouse in Spain. Critical parts available In stock |
| Training | Included (at their center or on-site) | Minimal. Manual in English/Chinese | Complete training on-site + follow-up |
| Seller Experience | Decades in the industrial sector | 1-5 years, no knowledge of the Spanish industrial market | +30 years selling industrial machinery, +10 years in laser |
| Warranty | 2-3 years, with real backing | 1-2 years, difficult to claim from manufacturer in China | Warranty with direct backing from an established Spanish company |
| Manufacturing Origin | Europe (Germany, Italy, Switzerland) | China (without external quality control) | China with own quality control and LUCOHE specifications |
| Commissioning | Professional, coordinated | Sometimes a Chinese technician who does not speak Spanish | Installation and commissioning by our team in Spanish |
Visual Comparison — What do you get for your money?
This graph shows the relative score of each segment in key purchasing factors. LUCOHE/KAMAK combines the competitive price of the Asian segment with the support and experience of the European segment.
Brands operating in Spain in 2026
European — High-end
European brands such as Trumpf, Bystronic, Amada, BLM Group, Prima Power, LVD or Salvagnini lead in cutting-edge technology, full automation and proprietary software. The Spanish manufacturer TCI Cutting (Valencia) also competes in this segment, specialized in laser and waterjet cutting. They are the market reference, but their prices are 2 or 3 times higher than equivalent alternatives. Ideal for companies with 24/7 production and ample budget.
Asian — Aggressive price, variable support
The Spanish market has seen an avalanche of Chinese brands in the last 5-8 years. Some like Bodor, HSG Laser or Han's Laser have opened representation in Spain, and others like Penta Laser, Senfeng, Gweike, DNE Laser, AccTek, XT Laser, Golden Laser, Oree Laser or Hymson operate through importers. Most without their own structure in Spain: no spare parts warehouse, no technicians trained on the product, and response times that can exceed 4-6 weeks for a critical part. The problem is not that the machine comes from China — it is who sells it to you and who provides support afterwards.
Our machines by type
Fiber laser cutting
Fiber laser cutting machines are today the standard for cutting sheet metal (steel, stainless steel, aluminum, copper, brass). In Spain, brands like Trumpf TruLaser, Bystronic ByStar, Amada ENSIS or BLM LT compete in the high-end range (100,000-500,000 €+), the Valencian manufacturer TCI Cutting (specialized in laser and waterjet cutting), and Chinese brands like Bodor, HSG, Penta Laser, Senfeng, Gweike or DNE in the entry-level range (40,000-120,000 €). Our LUCOHE and KAMAK cutters offer powers from 1 kW to 30 kW, with top-tier IPG or Raycus sources, exchange table, and what no Chinese importer can offer: installation, training and own technical service in Spain.
Portable laser welder
Portable laser welding has revolutionized the boilermaking and industrial maintenance sector. Facing brands like Trumpf TruLaser Weld (high-end, >50,000 €) or the multiple Chinese options from Han's Laser, AccTek, XT Laser, Oree Laser or MORN Laser (3,000-15,000 €), LUCOHE welders combine the component quality we demand from the manufacturer with real warranty, spare parts in Spain and a team that has understood industrial welding for over 30 years.
Laser cleaning machine
Laser cleaning (pickling, rust removal, surface preparation) is a booming technology. In the Spanish market you will find solutions from Trumpf and BLM at high prices, and Chinese options from Han's Laser, Golden Laser, Hymson or Perfect Laser. Our LUCOHE cleaners from 300 W to 3,000 W offer the same technology with complete local support: demonstration at your facilities, commissioning by our technicians and stock of consumables.
CNC hydraulic press brake
The CNC press brake market in Spain is dominated by Europeans: Trumpf TruBend, Bystronic Xpert, Amada HG, LVD PPEB, Salvagnini B3. In the mid-range, Turkish brands Durma, Ermaksan, Baykal and Spanish ones like Colgar compete. Chinese brands (Bodor, Han's Laser) are entering this segment but with less track record. Our KAMAK press brakes offer tonnages from 40 to 600 tons, with latest generation CNC (Delem or ESA), robust structure and the backing of a company with more than three decades selling and maintaining forming machinery.
Industrial deburring machine
Sheet metal deburring and finishing machines remove burrs, round edges and apply surface finishes after laser or plasma cutting. European brands like Timesavers, Lissmac or Loewer dominate the high-end range. Our LUCOHE deburring machine offers professional performance at an accessible price, with high-durability abrasive belt, speed adjustment and spare parts always available in our warehouse.
Why LUCOHE / KAMAK?
We are not an importer that bought a container of machines last year. We are Herramentalia, the industrial machinery division of the Grupo Lucohe — a Spanish company with more than 30 years of experience in the industrial sector. We manufacture our machines under the brands LUCOHE and KAMAK with our own specifications and strict quality control. This is what differentiates us:
- Own technical service — Own technicians in Spain, trained on each machine. We do not depend on someone coming from China.
- Spare parts warehouse in Spain — The most needed parts are available in 24-48 hours, not 6 weeks.
- Complete training — We install the machine, train your team and provide follow-up.
- Warranty with real backing — We are a Spanish company with CIF, headquarters and 30 years of history. You can come visit us.
- We know your sector — We sell to workshops, boilermakers, cutting companies, industrial maintenance. We know what you need because we have been in this market for decades.
The problem is not that the machine comes from China. The problem is who sells it to you in Spain, who installs it, who repairs it when it breaks down on a Friday afternoon, and who has the spare part when you need it urgently. That is exactly what we do.
