Navacell

In the world of heavy industry, particularly for energy markets, Navacel carved out a niche for itself from its base in the Port of Bilbao, Spain. Founded in 1965, the company established itself as a manufacturer of large, complex metal structures and capital equipment. Its strategic location with direct access to the sea became a key advantage, allowing for the direct loading of massive components for the offshore wind, oil and gas, and marine energy sectors. The company specialized in high-quality fabrication, machining, and assembly of critical components like transition pieces for offshore wind turbines, suction anchors, and complex structures for floating production storage and offloading (FPSO) units. Over the decades, Navacel built a reputation for its technical capabilities and ability to handle large-scale international projects, becoming a significant player in the global supply chain for offshore energy. A pivotal moment in Navacel's journey occurred in December 2024, when it was announced that the Amper Group would acquire 100% of the company for approximately €23.8 million. The deal involved a mix of cash and shares, integrating Navacel into Amper's broader strategy to bolster its leadership in manufacturing for the offshore wind industry. This acquisition marked a new chapter for the seasoned manufacturer, positioning it within a larger industrial group to enhance its growth and capabilities in the expanding renewable energy market.
