Expanding product range and market presence
Productos Salinas, known for its expertise in manufacturing customized sealing products, brings an impressive product line to the KLINGER family, including sealing products, industrial gaskets, rubbers and engineered mechanized profiles. In addition, Productos Salinas holds an exclusive license from Covestro in Spain for the Vulkollanยฎ polyurethane and is a key player in the supply of these products. Juntas Besma complements this offering with its commercial capillarity especially in the Basque country, offering sealing-related products from well-known suppliers.

โWith the acquisition of Productos Salinas and Juntas Besma companies, KLINGER Spain strengthens its presence in the Basque country and at the same time completes a truly seamless product portfolio of sealing solutions that complements the existing KLINGER Spain portfolio.”
From September 17, Manuel Tabasco will manage not only KLINGER Spain, but also Productos Salinas and Juntas Besma.
This acquisition opens the door to previously untapped industry segments, including renewable energy (wind energy) and OEM serving various industry segments.
Integration and future growth
The acquisition allows KLINGER Spain to seamlessly integrate the expertise and facilities of Productos Salinas and Juntas Besma seamlessly into its operations. Both companies, located in Zaratamo, Vizcaya, operate from a shared facility with a 3,500 square meter manufacturing plant and a 5,000 square meter warehouse. KLINGER Spain plans to maintain the current staff and facilities, ensuring stability while promoting future growth.
Manuel Tabasco will continue to lead Productos Salinas and Juntas Besma as Managing Director, working alongside Gorka Lasa, General Manager of both acquired companies, and a dedicated team of over 70 employees. This integration aims not only to strengthen KLINGER’s market presence in the Basque country but also to drive expansion beyond Spainโs borders.
A Strategic move for internationalization
The Basque country is a major industrial hub, and this acquisition will allow KLINGER Spain to benefit from local proximity to its customers, boosting its presence in northern Spain. In addition, the expanded product portfolio, combined with the new capabilities brought in by Productos Salinas and Juntas Besma, sets the stage for KLINGER’s ambitions of further internationalization.

โProductos Salinas and Juntas Besma are highly complementary acquisitions in terms of product, industry, market orientation segments, customers, and location. We are glad to have them on board.โ
