Grupo Arania has won the Dataton Euskadi 2026, organized by BAIC (Basque Artificial Intelligence Centre), with an AI application project focused on carbon footprint analysis. The project was developed jointly by Aratubo and Inentum.
The CO₂ saved are equivalent to the carbon absorbed by 2,600 trees in a year, or to preventing the burning of 24,500 liters of gasoline.
Ana Guinea, Sustainability Director: “Sustainability is something we have to build together, otherwise, it won’t happen”.
Grupo Arania strengthens its leadership in industrial digitalisation by consolidating its position as the corporation with the most ERP licences from the provider IFS in Spain.
Arania Group has been named as the winner of the 2025 ACICAE Award in the Basque Business category, in recognition of its trajectory, commitment to innovation, and strategic contribution to the automotive sector.
This acquisition helps pave the Group’s way towards increasingly emission-free operations in logistics.
Grupo Arania has signed a capital increase of 15 million euros with Finkatuz, the strategic fund managed by Instituto Vasco de Finanzas (IVF).
Unai Bizkarrondo will be the new Supply Chain Director and Jokin Gago the Purchasing Director. Xabier Ortiz de Murua will lead the new Strategic Projects Department, and Javier Mugica will take up new duties as Supply Development Director.
After 18 years leading Grupo Arania, Carmelo Bilbao is leaving his position as Executive Vice-President, but will remain closely linked to the Group as a Board Member. Alberto Lejarreta will become the new Executive Vice-President and Marc Bosch the new CEO of the Group from 1 January 2025.
