Throughout these 15 years, MAFEX has demonstrated great efficiency representing the sector worldwide, having been able to adapt to the evolution that the industry itself has experienced, contributing to undertake significant improvements for the Spanish railway sector, both in Spain and abroad.
For Renfe, which has one of its fundamental strategic pillars in internationalisation, collaboration with MAFEX and Spanish companies abroad is an excellent formula for exporting knowledge of a leading railway industry in the world”.

We have witnessed the strident efforts by Mafex to position itself in the different international markets of our area, and therefore we are proud to be associated to the proliferation of greater and improved rail transport projects in our region.
Congratulations Mafex, on your 15th anniversary!”.
Antonio Garamendi Lecanda, President of CEOE
“First of all, I congratulate Mafex for its 15th anniversary at a time when the railway sector in Spain is becoming increasingly significant. It contributes to the improvement of the country’s economic competitiveness and supports the development of the activity in sectors such as industry, commerce and tourism, among others. In this sense, it marks one of the flagship references in infrastructure in Spain. Furthermore, Spanish railway companies boast extensive international experience, along with the field of innovation too.
This makes the Spanish railway industry a benchmark worldwide. Spanish companies forming the sector participate intensely in the major infrastructure works that are being carried out in many countries of the world, contributing their great skills, experience and mastery of new technologies. We are facing one of the sectors whose companies have best managed how to evolve into a global business model. This is down to, mainly, continuous innovation. And Mafex must be proud of all these achievements”.
