AIMEN is a 57-year-old research and testing center in northwest Spain focused on joining technologies, advanced materials, and laser processing for heavy manufacturing. The org is research-heavy—five of seven open roles are research positions—and skews senior, suggesting a focus on retaining domain expertise in specialized materials science rather than scaling headcount. Tech stack is enterprise-standard (Microsoft, Linux, VMware) plus domain-specific simulation tools (ANSYS, MATLAB, SimaPro), reflecting a lab environment that bridges materials characterization with computational modeling.
AIMEN operates as a technology center and innovation partner for industrial clients in metal-mechanical, automotive, aerospace, shipbuilding, energy, chemical, and textile sectors. The center offers R&D services (advanced materials, robotics, manufacturing processes), industrial testing and analysis (failure investigation, non-destructive testing, material characterization), manufacturing engineering, and specialized certifications (welding inspector, adhesive bonding, non-destructive testing). Based in O Porriño, Galicia, AIMEN serves clients across Spain and collaborates with universities on applied research projects. The business model combines fixed research contracts with funded innovation proposals and custom testing work for industrial manufacturers.
AIMEN provides R&D, testing, and industrial services in joining technologies, advanced materials, and laser processing for manufacturing sectors including automotive, aerospace, and energy.
AIMEN is headquartered in O Porriño, Pontevedra, Spain. The center was founded in 1967 in Vigo.
AIMEN uses ANSYS and MATLAB for numerical calculation and simulation, plus SimaPro and OpenLCA for lifecycle assessment and materials analysis.
