Injection moulding machine manufacturer Engel is continuing to advance its internationalisation strategy and, as of 1 April 2026, will acquire its long-standing sales partner Roegele in Spain. This move strengthens Engel’s presence in the south-western European market and marks the establishment of a new subsidiary: Engel Spain.

Barcelona-based Roegele is one of Engel’s oldest distribution partners. Since 1972, the company has supported customers across all key sectors of plastics processing — from automotive to medical technology. Their collaboration has been defined by a close partnership for over five decades. Roegele has independently managed sales, service, training and consultancy on site. Most recently, over 90 percent of the company’s business was centred around Engel products. With the upcoming retirement of owners Bernd and Kai Roegele, a sustainable succession solution was required. “The acquisition by Engel represents the logical and appropriate next step”, the company stated.

Strategic milestone in the growth market of Spain

Spain is one of Europe’s most important plastics markets — both in terms of volume and revenue. Engel has a particularly strong presence in the automotive sector and ranks among the market leaders. Other sectors, such as packaging, medical and technical moulding, also offer significant growth potential.

“We see considerable potential in Spain — not only in packaging but also in technical injection moulding. With Engel Spain, we are creating the conditions to expand into new customer segments, enhance our service responsiveness, and strengthen our market position in the long term,” says Stefan Engleder, CEO of the Engel Group. “Following more than 50 years of successful partnership, this acquisition is a logical next step.”

Engel Spain will be integrated into the global Engel Group as an independent subsidiary. All Roegele employees will be retained. The site in Barcelona — Roegele’s current headquarters — will be upgraded and, thanks to its generous size, offers excellent conditions for future development. The approximately 600 m² production area offers a wide range of potential uses.
