Yecla has always been a land of entrepreneurship. Its business fabric, marked by resilience and long-term vision, has turned the town into a fertile ecosystem for projects with global impact. Within this framework stands Industrias David, a company that has not only adapted to changes in its sector but has also established itself as a technological benchmark in agricultural machinery.
Born from a century-old blacksmith’s workshop and re-founded in 1975, Industrias David has achieved a delicate balance between tradition and innovation. It was a pioneer in introducing electro-hydraulic equipment to mechanize agricultural tasks specific to Mediterranean crops such as vines, olives, almonds, and citrus fruits. This commitment to high-value technical solutions paved the way for international growth, taking its products today to more than 50 countries.
In this new edition of Yecla by Barahonda, CEO Francisco López highlights some of the keys to this journey. The first is the entrepreneurial spirit that defines Yecla and permeates the company’s culture: a permanent commitment to continuous improvement and adaptability. This mindset translates into a strong focus on research, development, and innovation (R&D&I), enabling Industrias David to lead its sector and maintain a competitive edge.
Digitalization has become another of its cornerstones. In a sector historically tied to agricultural tradition, the company has shown that digital transformation is not optional but essential to expand markets, optimize processes, and strengthen competitiveness. The development of solutions like the ID-PLUS joystick or the integration of electronic systems in its equipment demonstrates how technology can transform an age-old activity into an efficient and sustainable business.
People play an equally vital role. López stresses that continuous training of teams is essential to stay ahead of technological shifts and global challenges. Investing in talent not only boosts competitiveness but also fosters a culture open to change—one that can attract and retain professionals in a town like Yecla.
The local dimension is, in fact, one of Industrias David’s greatest strengths. Collaboration among regional businesses strengthens the industrial fabric and multiplies growth opportunities. These synergies, combined with strategic alliances at national and international levels, have made the company an ambassador of Yecla’s innovation on the global stage.
Recognitions such as CEPYME’s 2021 SME of the Year Award endorse this successful model, built on tradition, innovation, and a commitment to quality. It is no coincidence that public institutions highlight the company as an example of how to modernize a traditional sector while reinforcing Yecla’s image as a hub of innovation.
The story of Industrias David proves that success is not a matter of chance, but of effort, vision, and the ability to anticipate change. It is also an inspiration for new generations of entrepreneurs, who find in this example proof that it is possible to build global companies without losing local roots.
