Spanish defense and engineering company Escribano Mechanical & Engineering (EM&E) will invest €50 million in a new industrial plant in Castilla-La Mancha, expanding its manufacturing footprint in the central region of the country. The facility will be located in the Los Picones industrial estate in Alovera, in the province of Guadalajara.
According to information released by the company, the new plant will cover around 42,000 square meters, making it EM&E’s largest production site to date. The facility is scheduled to begin operations this summer and is expected to generate about 300 new jobs once fully up and running.
The Alovera plant will support EM&E’s activities in high-tech defense and related mechanical and electronic systems, which include products and subsystems used in aerospace and wider security applications. The expansion in Castilla-La Mancha aligns with the broader industrial concentration of defense and aeronautical suppliers in central Spain, where proximity to major transport corridors and existing aerospace clusters facilitates logistics and access to skilled labor.
Regional authorities have highlighted the employment impact of the project, while EM&E positions the Alovera site as a key hub within its national industrial network. The company has not detailed specific product lines for the new facility but has emphasized its role in boosting overall production capacity for advanced defense and engineering systems.
