The headquarters of ALCANTARA Group and its engineering and commercial departments are located in Cartagena; it has its own shipyard in Carboneras (Almería), as well as a permanent establishment in Algeria. Its presence in the naval sector began in the 1980’s led by its General Manager Alejandro de las Heras. We mention chronologically some of our most important milestones.

We have made quality our strongest competitive advantage, which together with the commitment and environmental concern have resulted in the recognition by ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 14001:2015 certifications.
