Over 30 years' experience in the lifting platform hire sector

1996

VAMASA MAQUINARIA SERVICIO DE ASESORAMIENTO, SL was set up with its head office in Silla (Valencia), this time with new premises. The company's business model was focussed on equipment import, refurbishment and after-sales services. The forklift hire service was born, and the company purchased its first lifting platform to meet the demand to provide its customers with replacement machinery.

In the mid-1990s, Vamasa launched a major marketing campaign for lifting platforms in Valencia, timed perfectly to take advantage of the huge growth in the market at that point.

1999

Vamasa expanded its business to other communities, gradually opening branches in central and eastern areas.

2002

A branch was opened in Muro de Alcoy, Alicante, Spain.

2006

Business was booming for Vamasa. Thanks to its clear strategy of diversification and specialisation, and the best professionals, the company enjoyed an exponential growth. Vamasa recorded its highest ever invoicing figure of €30m.

The company created a new corporate identity and its plan included a clear objective for positioning: Specialisation.

2009

Vamasa Maquinaria entered into voluntary bankruptcy and disappeared to make way for a new company called Vamasa Tecnial.

Once again, Vamasa rose to the challenge of the difficulties faced by adapting and transforming; all this was possible thanks to the great team of professionals – past and present – who have been part of the company.

2016

Vamasa Tecnial S.L. was bought by the TVH Group, with head offices in Waregem, Belgium.

2018

Vamasa began the transition to its new corporate image, widely recognised around the world: mateco.

mateco acquires the company Ciaman.

2022

mateco acquires the company Elevaciones RAMA.
