Arquimea Ingenieria

Arquimea Ingeniería is a Spanish technology company founded in 2005 by Dr. Diego Fernández Infante as a spin-off from the Universidad Carlos III de Madrid. Fernández, who previously worked at Airbus Defence & Space, established the company to develop technologies that address societal challenges. The company has since grown into an international technology group, reporting revenues of €100 million in its latest fiscal year.

The firm provides engineering, manufacturing, and R&D services, operating primarily in the aerospace, defense, biotechnology, and fintech sectors. Its business model involves designing, manufacturing, and commercializing custom sensors, actuators, and microelectronics. Arquimea heavily reinvests its profits into research and development and operates its own research center with over 70 researchers working on future technologies. It also engages in acquiring other technology companies and has a financing subsidiary, Kaudal, which supports R&D projects through tax lease instruments.

Key product lines include radiation-hardened microelectronics, satellite mechanisms and actuators, thermal systems for spacecraft, and satellite payloads. The company has participated in over 180 space missions, including projects that have traveled to Mars and the International Space Station. In the defense sector, Arquimea develops intelligent loitering systems. It has expanded its global presence with offices in Europe, the United States, and Southeast Asia and has acquired companies like Ecliptic and IberEspacio to enhance its capabilities.
