Manises is a municipality with a unique industrial identity in the Valencia metropolitan area. Ceramics, which have given the town international fame for centuries, now coexist with a diversified business fabric in which logistics linked to the airport, airport services companies and a reinvented manufacturing sector all stand out.
At Acoval, based in Aldaia, we are just 5 minutes from Manises. This proximity has allowed us to work with businesses in the municipality since our earliest days, gaining first-hand knowledge of the electrical needs of each zone and sector.
The Valencia airport environment
Valencia-Manises Airport creates its own business ecosystem. Around the airport infrastructure, ground handling companies, airline catering services, cargo logistics firms, vehicle rental companies and auxiliary service providers all require electrical installations with specific characteristics:
- Uninterruptible power supply: many airport operations cannot stop. Uninterruptible power systems (UPS) and backup generators are essential elements in these installations.
- High-power outdoor lighting: parking areas, access roads and manoeuvring zones require efficient, reliable lighting — increasingly using LED technology with smart controls.
- Installations in classified environments: fuel handling companies and certain cargo operations must meet special electrical requirements due to potentially explosive atmospheres (ATEX).
- Electrical panels with enhanced protection: proximity to the runway, along with humidity and vibration conditions, demands materials and IP protection ratings above the standard.
Manises industrial zone
Beyond the airport, Manises has several industrial areas housing manufacturing companies, mechanical workshops, logistics warehouses and wholesale businesses. The most common electrical needs in these zones include:
- Power upgrades for units that have added new machinery without updating their electrical installation.
- Electrical panel upgrades in units built decades ago, with obsolete switchgear that does not meet current REBT requirements.
- Reactive power compensation systems to avoid penalties on the electricity bill.
- Photovoltaic self-consumption taking advantage of the large roof areas available on Manises industrial units.
The ceramic heritage
Although the ceramics industry in Manises has evolved enormously from the traditional artisan workshops, the factories and studios that remain in operation have specific electrical requirements:
- High-power electric kilns requiring robust three-phase feeds and appropriate protections.
- Precise temperature control for firing cycles, with regulators and variable frequency drives that need surge protection.
- Specialist lighting in finishing and quality control areas, where colour rendering is critical for evaluating glazes and colours.
These installations combine artisan tradition with modern industrial technology and require an electrician who understands both worlds.

The advantage of proximity
