Navarra-based Tafalla Iron Foundry (TIF) will manufacture the largest industrial cylinder heads ever produced at its facilities as part of a new international project with China’s Jereh Group, a multinational company specialising in industrial and energy solutions with operations in more than 70 countries.
The agreement marks another milestone for the company, part of the Mondragon Corporation, and reinforces its position within the heavy-duty road transport segment — a highly demanding market with growing international demand, particularly across Asia and the Americas.
A highly complex industrial project
The new cylinder heads will be used in heavy-duty engines for long-haul transport and represent a significant technological challenge for the Tafalla plant. According to Miguel Ugalde, CEO of the company, the project reflects TIF’s commitment to “high value-added products, demanding clients and a strong international vocation”.
The collaboration between both companies has been developed over more than a year through technical and commercial missions between Navarra and China, further strengthening Tafalla Iron Foundry’s ability to integrate into international supply chains at a time marked by industrial diversification and the reorganisation of strategic markets worldwide.
Navarra strengthens its position as an international industrial hub
With nearly 800 employees and a strong export orientation, Tafalla Iron Foundry is one of the leading examples of Navarra’s advanced industrial capabilities. The company combines foundry expertise, technological innovation and a firm commitment to internationalisation — all key factors in attracting high value-added industrial projects to the region.
This new international agreement further reinforces Navarra’s position as a competitive industrial territory, home to companies capable of collaborating on complex global projects and responding to the evolving demands of strategic sectors such as automotive manufacturing and heavy mobility.
