Factorías Vulcano is one of the most important shipyards in Spain. We are specialised in the construction of high tech mid-sized newbuildings, ranging between 80 and 170 m in length. And we do so for some of the most demanding ship-owners and markets in the world. Our company harks back to 1919, although its activity in the shipbuilding business began in 1940. In line with most of the European companies in this sector, the company has evolved progressively towards its current “synthesis shipyard” model. Currently, Factorías Vulcano is home to a highly-qualified staff specialised in the management of complex shipbuilding projects. We deliver our proven expertise in the areas of planning, engineering, procurement and production coordination –all of which are integrated in quality management, environmental compliance and health risk prevention systems that boast the certifications ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and OHSAS 18001, respectively. Additionally, Factorías Vulcano has access to the invaluable resource of the shipbuilding industry of the Vigo area, which provides the full spectrum of services required for the production of high-added value ships.more
