SANZ is a Company dedicated to crankshafts and camshafts manufacturing for construction machinery, agriculture, industrial engines and marine applications.

The President,  Mrs. María Irache Guzmán represents the 3rd generation of this company founded in 1947  by her grandfather Vicente Irache Torres and launched in the 70,s  to the international market by her father Vicente Irache Asín

In the beginning the company mainly repaired small motorbike crankshafts then, in the early fifties, it ventured into the export market by first importing Harley Davidson crankshafts from the US which it restored then re-exported.

Gradually, it changed from of a repair shop to a crankshaft manufacturer.

The commitments taken on and the strict requirements that had to be met led Sanz to develop its means of production and quality control and gave it valuable experience enabling it to sell to other manufacturers.

A new market then opened up for these larger crankshafts, requiring better mechanical properties as well as more specialized production systems and, over the next 10 years, SANZ gradually gave up producing small automobile crankshafts. In the early 90s, most of its product catalogue comprised crankshafts for trucks, tractors, heavy-duty construction machinery and industrial applications, and this trend has continued until today.

The company policy which has differentiated in the market has been continued investments in technology, innovation and development, which has turn SANZ into international quality model. Fruit of this commitment is, besides dedicating to aftermarket, SANZ is supplier of international OEM.

It seems that the future of the company is to focus on renewable energies as the wind power one. That means to manufacture the axles for wind turbines, reduction gearboxes or related products.

Since decades ago, SANZ has dedicated great efforts to export and, currently, its  products are founded on five continents with a more than 90% turnover in international markets.
