Scaleoperate, supports & assists procurement specialists
As a Conglomerate Company we help and aid in navigating supply chain impediments as well as facilitating accurate predictions to mitigate issues.
Roughly 40% of production units persistently grapple with disruptions in supply chain management. Procuring raw materials has progressively become a daunting task, with their soaring costs and scarcities exacerbating the situation. It is estimated that 70% of factories within the industrial manufacturing sector perceive the cost of raw materials as the paramount risk to their supply chain. The deficit of raw materials has diminished, and prices have reverted to pre-COVID-19 pandemic, warfare, and economic crisis levels, considering the looming geopolitical circumstances. Nevertheless, the steel deficit endures and continues to influence various sectors. Some enterprises have deferred their expansion projects due to the spiralling cost of supplied materials. However, Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) fabricators must also keep an eye on other elements such as escalating interest rates, potential sales losses, and more problems that may arise. The economics of manufacturing and limited inventories have unveiled issues in engineering, production, and supply chains.
Organizations with the requisite financial resources are pondering a return to the era when they used to accumulate their inventories, leading to a surge in demand for storage space. This necessitates that all integral aspects of design engineering and construction, as well as the manufacturing process, warehousing, and logistics via road transportation must be considered to detect mistakes and defects early in the order fulfilment process. This is why the integration of automation and AI is becoming increasingly vital to support procurement professionals in their demanding ordering tasks. At SCALEOPERATE, we aid and support procurement professionals by encompassing all areas required by purchasers. We not only manage the customization of desired parts, but we also oversee design engineering as well as the manufacturing, logistics, and delivery as a unified service. All of this is coupled with real-time trackers and live webcams, which provide a behind-the-scenes insight and thus offer the opportunity to react immediately to errors and deficiencies. Our team supports all purchasers from inception to completion to tackle the challenges collectively.
Professional personnel & workforce to coach & consult
With conceptual consulting & advice, we scale your business by guiding and following you step by step through all obstacles in the production cycle.
Our team, composed of experienced R&D Engineers, CAD designers, mechanics, automation technicians, machining and production line experts as well as warehousing, forwarding, and logistics specialists diligently monitors and pay careful attention towards the success of your projects. We meticulously analyse the needs of our clients and carefully strategize each task to be accomplished. This is all done with the aim of effectively and timely realizing the investments entrusted to us. We aspire to be a dependable partner, since your success is also our success, we want this collaboration to work and therefore looking forward to a long-term cooperation. Our main office is strategically located in Barcelona, Spain. From this hub, orders are delegated to the appropriate factory and production facilities. Manufacturing operations are carried out in various locations including Barcelona, Spain; Wrocław, Poland; Bucharest, Romania; Prague, Czech Republic; and Gebze/Kocaeli, Turkey. From these locations, we directly forward the finished products to you. Additionally, our extensive partner network enables us to accept all orders, irrespective of their complexity or capacity. Moreover, we can fabricate all requested parts without the necessity to find another manufacturer for specific materials.
In addition, we maintain collaborative ventures with companies from Pakistan, India, China, and Taiwan. This enables the procurement of parts that are not readily available throughout Europe or do not meet European standards and can only be sourced from Asia. Our years of expertise in these markets position us as a trusted partner for securing and expanding supply chains. We also provide coaching and consultation to buyers who work for our corporate clients or internally at an Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM). We explore all possible scenarios to identify and circumvent potential obstacles and their sources. With us, manufacturing companies are always on the safe side, as we have a proven track record of successfully overcoming challenges. In this regard, it is in our interest to provide non-obligatory advice to our clients before placing an order, so that trust is established, and we can build on a solid foundation. After all, we aim to operate with due respect, honesty, truthfulness, reliability, openness, and transparency.

Our Office
At our headquarters, the Central Office located in Barcelona, Spain; we receive and evaluate customer inquiries (RFQ's) through our state-of-the-art automated, cloud-based AI system. These orders are then allocated to one of our factories distributed throughout Europe, including but not limited to Spain, Poland, Romania, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Turkey, Bulgaria, and Slovenia, where they are processed based on construction drawings and CAD drafts. We hold transparent, reliable, and honest communication in high regard, and continually strive to develop comprehensive solutions, by adapting to novel technologies and refining our processes. Our commitment to optimization is exemplified by our willingness to openly share requests and offer examples in order to enhance potential collaborations and create added value for our clients.
By partnering with us, we can support your procurement process and service a broad range of orders. Working with us provides the distinct advantage of having a regional contact person proficient in the languages of the DACH-Scandinavia-BENELUX regions, following LEAD qualification. Our contacts are fluent in English, French, Spanish, German, Polish, Czech, Ukrainian, and Russian, among other languages.
We recommend distributing orders among various providers and suppliers based on their competencies. This process can be seamlessly integrated into our ERP system, granting access to not only us but also other suppliers, thus allowing us to immediately pass on infeasible cases. Please be aware that orders may need to be placed manually for the first time, as automation is not yet fully implemented without API Synchronization. However, our system will ultimately automate the mediation process, freeing you from unnecessary administrative work.
As a buyer, you may have had prior experience with platforms such as Haizol, Xometry, Orderfox, Facturee, Techpilot, etc… Regrettably, in many instances, neither the customer nor the manufacturers are content with the price, trust, or quality. In our industry, personal communication still holds great importance, and AI and other technologies only serve as supporting functions to transform the manufacturing industry.
Our Factory and Machinery
Scaleoperate provides a wide range of services, including the production and supply of semi-finished products and assemblies through contract manufacturing. Our expertise lies in the production of high-precision metal, plastic, and carbon products, with production facilities located throughout Europe, including countries such as Spain, Poland, Romania, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Turkey, Bulgaria, and Slovenia. We obtain our semiconductors from top manufacturers located in Taiwan, South Korea, Japan, the United States, China and India.
Our customers depend on our precision engineering skills to deliver contract manufacturing services on an international scale. Our capabilities encompass a variety of engineering processes such as CNC milling, turning, grinding, welding, drilling, cutting, pre-assembly and assembly. Additionally, we offer casting machining, welding services, equipment repairs and retrofits as well as intricate machining of gauges, probes and mechanical components. We can handle large quantities as well as smaller series production. Our expertise includes prototype construction and quality assurance. Our state-of-the-art machinery ensures that our customers receive top-quality products with short delivery times.
Following a consultation, we offer a comprehensive range of services that include both subtractive and additive manufacturing techniques.
Subtractive manufacturing, which includes processes such as aluminum extrusion and CNC metalworking, involves removing material from a workpiece to achieve the desired shape. This is a traditional method that is widely used in the manufacturing sector. On the other hand, we also specialize in the production of parts through additive manufacturing. For plastic/polymer prototypes in particular, the 3D printing process is used, where material is systematically added and joined to produce parts from 3D model data layer by layer, as opposed to subtractive manufacturing methods. In this process, the material is heated and extruded layer by layer through a nozzle and then cooled to form the desired object. This method can be used to produce complex shapes and structures that would be difficult or impossible to realize using conventional manufacturing methods.
To produce larger quantities of plastic parts, we also use additive manufacturing as an alternative to subtractive processes. This requires the use of a mold, which is then filled using the injection molding process. In this process, we produce the molds in the tool shop, where later the polymer material is pressed into the intended shape under the pressure of the injection molding machines. In summary, our services cover a wide range of industrial manufacturing needs, from mechanics and procurement to supply chain management and production engineering, offering both traditional and innovative manufacturing solutions. Our commitment to the use of both subtractive and additive manufacturing techniques ensures that we can meet diverse and complex production requirements.
