Unex was established in Spain in November 1964 with a guiding vision that still shapes our path today: to manufacture innovative insulating cable management systems for electrical, telecommunications and HVAC installations. It soon became clear that, in order to deliver solutions for increasingly demanding projects, we needed to be close to our customers. We needed to be close to you.
That is why, over the years, we’ve established a strong international presence, with subsidiaries in Germany, France, Portugal, Italy, and Chile, as well as a wide-reaching network of commercial offices across Europe, Latin America, the Middle East, and Asia-Pacific. This structure is designed to support you at every stage of your project—wherever you may be.
For an installer, engineer, or distributor like you, proximity is no small matter. It means fast, reliable support, advice that aligns with local regulations, and someone who truly understands the customs and working methods of your country. That’s exactly what our subsidiaries are here for: to make Unex’s global experience part of your everyday work.
Local insight with a global perspective
Each subsidiary combines the expertise of the parent company with the know-how of professionals rooted in the local market.
This enables us to:
- Adapt our products and solutions to the current regulations in each region. Regulatory requirements for products are not the same everywhere—what is required in one country may not apply in another. Having local teams reduces the impact of regulatory barriers and ensures compliance with the specific requirements of each market. Our commitment is also evident in the quality marks we hold, granted by independent organisations—including AENOR, LCIE, VDE, GOST, and UL Listed—confirming that our insulating systems meet both national and international standards.
- Respond to queries and requirements in your language, with insight into your standard procedures and working methods. When fast response is essential, sharing the same language and cultural understanding helps avoid miscommunication and enables quicker decisions.
- Build trust. Proximity and local insight are key factors in earning the confidence of customers like you.
At Unex, our goal is to think globally and act locally. This idea comes to life through our subsidiaries—teams that are close, responsive, and eager to learn from every market.
Where you can find us
Our subsidiaries are built on a commitment to long-term presence, adding real, practical value to your day-to-day work.
- France: In 1979, we took our first step beyond Spain, as we entered the French market—a highly developed and demanding environment. It was the perfect place to prove that our insulating systems could deliver value internationally. Today, that experience benefits every customer, as each solution has been proven under Europe’s most rigorous standards.
- Portugal: In 1995, we strengthened our presence across the Iberian Peninsula. Together with trusted local distributors, we've built lasting partnerships. For you, this means continuity of supply and solutions tailored to the Iberian market—with fast lead times and direct support.
- Germany: In 1998, we entered one of the most demanding industrial environments in the world. Meeting Germany’s high technical standards is a strong endorsement of our solutions. Since then, we’ve taken part in major infrastructure projects that confirm the durability, safety, and reliability of our insulating systems.
- Chile: In 2008, we initiated our engagement with the expanding Latin American market, prompting us to tailor products and solutions to meet regional compliance requirements. For you as a European client, this experience translates into innovation shaped by a range of real-world contexts. For our partners in Latin America, it means working with a supplier who understands their context and delivers solutions proven in European markets.
- Italy: In 2015, we took a natural step forward in our ongoing commitment to staying close to our customers. We’ve worked closely with distributors and engineering firms, delivering reliable solutions in key sectors and earning the trust of clients who appreciate both innovation and long-term reliability.
A network designed to anticipate
Cooperation between our subsidiaries enables us to anticipate regulatory changes, adapt swiftly to international standards, and offer you solutions with global scope.
Alongside our physical presence, we place equal importance on our digital tools. Through U-Digital, we provide technical documentation, catalogues, training resources, and continuous support—all complementing the hands-on assistance from our local teams.
This is how we bring together the best of both worlds: local, human support where you need it and agile digital tools available across all markets.
Thank you for being part of our international journey. Your trust drives us to keep learning, innovating, and staying close to you.
