Vision
The purpose of TECNIBERIA is to unite the voices of Spanish engineering, to promote, on the one hand, the recognition of the intellectual nature of the work carried out by engineering companies and, on the other, the high capacity, credibility and high experience of its associates, who develop services that affect the health, safety and well-being of society as a whole.
History
In 1964, TECNIBERIA was created, an association of national engineering and consultancy companies, whose most relevant objective was to project Spanish engineering abroad and open the doors to Spanish companies in other markets, especially Latin America.
In 1975, ASINCE was created, an association of independent engineering companies, with territorial representation. Two years later, the Employers’ Association of Spanish Engineering Companies (ASEINCO) was born.
In 1987 TECNIBERIA merged with ASEINCO and went on to negotiate the National Collective Agreement for Engineering, Consulting and Technical Studies Companies.
In 2002, TECNIBERIA and ASINCE merged, giving rise to the national association with territorial representation that integrates the four major branches of engineering: civil, industrial and energy, environmental and building.
After various changes in the structure, TECNIBERIA/ASINCE became TECNIBERIA, a Spanish association of engineering, consultancy and technological services companies, a national employer in the Engineering sector, with sectoral organization through the Civil, Industry and Energy, Environmental Commissions. Environment, Building and Urban Planning and Technological Services) and transversal structure in Committees, among which International, Innovation and Training stand out.
