The company IMA, devoted to the manufacture of magnets and magnetic products, has purchased a plot in the Barcelona town of Ripollet where it is building a new 5,000-square-metre warehouse.
Thanks to these new facilities, in which it has invested 3 million euros, IMA will increase its business tripling its production capacity, since this facility will be the largest magnet factory in Spain. Currently, the IMA factory is located in Mollet del Vallès, but in late 2016 it will move part of its production to Ripollet.
IMA exports 50% of its production to more than 60 countries and has production facilities in China and Italy, as well as subsidiaries in France and Germany. In Spain, in addition to its headquarters in Catalonia, IMA has offices in Madrid and Bilbao.
The acquisition received the support of the Industrial Logistics Department of Forcadell. Likewise, IMA has the support of the Government of Catalonia through the Expansiona’t d’ACCIÓ programme, which enabled it to increase the volume of its exports.
