Talleres José Luis Miguel increases efficiency and safety with PEMA positioners
For almost 40 years, Talleres José Luis Miguel has specialized in the design and manufacture of custom-made equipment for the chemical, food, and pharmaceutical industries. Their expertise covers everything from stainless steel and carbon steel tanks to mixers, screw conveyors, and other transport systems, all tailored to meet the specific needs of each client.
Before implementing PEMA positioners, the workshop relied on overhead cranes to handle large parts during welding and assembly. This process was time-consuming and carried significant safety and ergonomic risks for operators. Welders often had to work in awkward positions, increasing physical strain and slowing down production.
“Before, we had to move the pieces with overhead cranes, which involved certain risks and uncomfortable working positions,” explains Vanesa Miguel, from Talleres José Luis Miguel.

To improve safety, productivity, and working conditions, the company introduced PEMA welding positioners. These systems allow operators to rotate and position components efficiently, minimizing manual handling and improving welding accessibility.
The results were immediate:
“With the PEMA positioner, our production process has become much faster and safer. Everything is more ergonomic, efficient, and secure,” says Vanesa.
One of the most notable outcomes has been the enthusiastic adoption by the workers themselves. Vanesa highlights how the team didn’t just adapt to the new equipment, they helped enhance it:
“Our workers are very happy. They even participated in developing new tools and fixtures to make the positioner more efficient for their own tasks — they’ve really made it their own.”
The results were immediate:
- Shorter production times
- Improved operator ergonomics
- Higher safety standards across the workshop

A strong partnership
Vanesa emphasizes the positive collaboration with Pemamek and local partner Arasol’s technical and support teams.
“The people are wonderful, always attentive and ready to help. Their technical support is excellent, and we couldn’t be more satisfied.”
Thanks to the integration of PEMA positioners, Talleres José Luis Miguel has achieved a safer, more efficient, and more ergonomic production environment, reinforcing its commitment to quality manufacturing and innovation.
