Loxam Iberia has reached revenues of 170 million euros in the first nine months of 2026, which represents a 15% increase compared with the same period of the previous year, and projects closing the year with record levels of both revenues and gross operating profit (Ebitda).
Its CEO, Luis Ángel Salas, emphasizes in an interview with Europa Press that the company will conclude this “key” year with “record” figures for revenues and Ebitda. According to its internal forecasts, annual revenues will exceed 224 million and Ebitda will stand at 94 million, which represents progress of 9.3% compared with 2025.
This result would amount to 43.7% of 2026 sales, thus chaining 15 consecutive years of improvement in profitability margins.
Within the group, one of the “major growth” areas is located in the Events division, where the use of machinery and energy supply solutions for festivals, major international events, and filming has increased in recent years at an annual rate of 43%, according to the company’s calculations. Loxam Iberia indicates that it continues to strengthen its fleet and expand the range of services to meet increasingly specific needs.
The subsidiary for the Iberian Peninsula also highlights that its network of branches is in “constant expansion,” supported by organic growth and by the addition of new lines of activity with the aim of “reaching more areas and customers”.
It currently has more than 90 rental points between Spain and Portugal and, by October of this year, has launched two new centers: one in Palmela (Portugal) and another in Sagunto (Spain).
These facilities will be joined, in mid-November, by its first base in Burgos, where the company expects to generate one million euros in 2027 and which will become a “strategic connection point” between the north and central areas to serve both companies and individuals.
The network is complemented by its presence in 23 Leroy Merlin stores and in three other Bauhaus locations in Spain. These agreements allow customers of these chains to access Loxam’s light machinery rental directly at those points of sale.
Favorable context for machinery rental
Loxam Iberia points to a "favorable context" for the machinery and equipment rental business, supported by the '2026 Report' of the European Rental Association (ERA), which anticipates an average annual growth rate of 1.8% for the European market between 2025 and 2027.
In the case of Spain, the expected advance is set at 5.5%, while in Portugal it will reach 7.5%, driven by investment in new infrastructure, the greater penetration of the rental model over buying, and growing demand from sectors such as logistics and data centers.
Likewise, the company recalls that during this year it has added to its scope the firms Marzabú Hnos (Ciudad Real) and the Asturian company Vycas Vallas y Cierres Asturias.
Sustainability and safety commitments
In terms of sustainability, Loxam Iberia highlights that, of the more than 30,000 equipment units that make up its fleet (including non-motorized equipment), more than 90% corresponds to zero- or low-emissions machinery, with electric or hybrid engines, while the remaining 10% are conventional diesel or gasoline equipment. The company emphasizes that its goal is to reduce "drastically" its direct and indirect emissions by 2030.
Along the same lines, it states that it has obtained the certification "Calculate, Reduce and Offset" corresponding to 2025 -- granted by the Ministry for Ecological Transition and the Demographic Challenge --, positioning itself as "the first and only" Spanish company in the Clima Neutro sector, and that it has launched a specific program to reduce workplace accidents, the Plan Zero, among other initiatives.
