Industrias Imar specializes in perforated sheet

The main applications of their products are found in the sector of the construction, roofs, bridges, facades and other decorative elements. But no less important are other many sectors as the bakery, which uses the sheet perforated as a basis for introducing mass in ovens, of transport, the household appliances, machinery for various sectors or the acoustics. The latter is one of those who are more growing as a result of the changing needs of society. He uses perforated sheets that serve as support for acoustic screens and whose holes act as filters for certain frequencies.

A second business line is expanded metal, fashionable in construction lately. Eduardo Múgica, Technical Director, said: "we have opted for a new machine and it's a line in full growth." "We do from filters for hoods hoods to decorative elements for construction, etc."

Interesting applications for perforated sheet can be found today in many buildings. To cite any of the geographical environment of the company, the buildings of Ericsson and Euskaltel in Parque Tecnológico de Zamudio, presented attractive aesthetics, inter alia by the use of this type of sheet metal. But also the roofs of the airports of Madrid and Barcelona, among others, or the façade of the Córdoba Ave Station have trailed his aesthetics thanks to this type of sheet outputs of Industrias Imar.

But the perforated sheet of this manufacturer is not here, but is used by the whole Spanish, Europe, South America and Asia.

Industrias Imar works on request, but it also develops its own products, it offers to the market. "We normally work to measure, i.e. we punched sheets specific for very specific applications that ask for a given client." The truth is that we attend all kinds of situations: orders under program, great series and even so short series as a sheet perforated in a manner determined by a decoration of a House. We contribute global solutions, which, in addition to the perforated sheet, serve finished products, with bending, welding, deep drawing, anodized, etc. "."

In Miranda de Ebro company has 9,000 square metres, of which 6,000 are built and in Ortuella 5,000, of which 3,500, are built in both factories is has plenty of room for possible future enlargements.

The process is based on layers of plate lisa, which was drilled in special drill presses. A few die Imar builds are used to this in their own facilities. The perforations may be round, square and decorative, multiperforadas, long abocardadas-estampadas and rectangular and rounded.

"We have machines to drill in a passing, others in several passes, punching press Amada, folding, expanded metal machines and all the machinery auxiliary to leave the sheet able (Flattening, shears...)". Miguel Tapia, responsible for the die-stamping workshop explains: "In the area of die-stamping, we have (wire and penetration) EDM machines, milling machines, grinders and radial drill of numerical control of Donau, represented in Spain by MPE." "Some works of machining the outsourcing to other companies".
