SWISSto12 opens Madrid facility
September 23, 2025
SWISSto12, the aerospace company and manufacturer of advanced satellite systems and radio frequency products, has announced the opening of a new facility in Madrid, Spain. The expansion aims to accelerate SWISSto12’s capabilities in developing advanced satellite payloads and user terminal systems.
The buildout of a facility in a new region signals the company’s continued growth, with this investment into a Spanish footprint complementing SWISSto12’s other facilities in Switzerland, Europe and the US.
SWISSto12’s growing Spanish team plays an important role in the company’s development of phased array antennas for both satellite payloads and ground terminals, as well as supporting the development and execution of the HummingSat product line. This office in Madrid also provides proximity to some of SWISSto12’s key industrial partners, suppliers and customers in Spain.
“Thanks to its world-leading technical universities and space industry ecosystem, Spain is recognised as a global hub for talent that is extremely relevant to SWISSto12. This new team is helping us accelerate our development and production of phased array antennas to meet strong customer demand for our satellite payloads and ground terminal systems. It also builds a strong and growing presence of SWISSto12 in the EU, and develops proximity with our partners, suppliers and customers in Spain, who play an important role in our growth journey,” commented Emile de Rijk, CEO and Founder of SWISSto12.
David Alvarez, Active Antenna Architect, Spain Operations at SWISSto12, added: “We have built a team here in Madrid that is already contributing to some of our most advanced phased array technologies. Our Spanish facility is focused on both space and ground-based systems, and we benefit from close collaboration with our SWISSto12 colleagues worldwide. What draws people to work at SWISSto12 is the opportunity to work in a flexible, fast-moving environment that fosters innovation and provides customers with solutions to some of the biggest challenges in Satellite Communications.”
