About us

A family business forged by nuclear standards

PIHASA was born in 1981 manufacturing pipe supports for Spain's nuclear power stations. Four and a half decades later, we still apply that same bar to every refinery, petrochemical plant and process plant that trusts us.

Our history

From Daganzo to the world

Founded by Mr. Carlos Cuñado Alonso, PIHASA was Spain's first pipe support manufacturer. Building Spain's nuclear fleet demanded, from day one, the highest quality standards in the industry: that culture still defines how we work.
