Piedrafita is an engineering, consulting and production firm based in Madrid, Spain. The company, which was founded in 1987, originally provided racing vehicle engineering, but since 2000 has used this expertise to transition into the defence industry.
Today Piedrafita provides the human and technological resources required to design, engineer, test, manufacture and assemble prototypes and / or limited production series of small and / or high added value defence components, with 80% of its contracts coming from this industrial sector.
The company’s experience of working with the motorsports industry has given it a focus on innovation and quality, as well as the ability to work to tight deadlines, all of which are essential traits for working with the defence industry.
Our multidisciplinary team of engineers’ previous focus on racing vehicle engineering has enabled us to offer a wide range of design services. Piedrafita’s capabilities include:
All of Piedrafita’s products are manufactured to military or aeronautical standards, and the company has had an ISO 9001 quality system since 2000.
