GRUPO ARANIA SIGNS A CAPITAL INCREASE WITH FINKATUZ

Grupo Arania has signed a capital increase of 15 million euros with FINKATUZ, the strategic fund managed by Instituto Vasco de Finanzas (IVF). This operation, the result of months of analysis and collaboration with the Basque Government, reinforces the group’s positioning as a leader in steel processing and as an industrial benchmark in Europe. The initiative is part of the institutional strategy to stimulate economic growth, promote business development, drive international expansion and consolidate the industrial fabric in the Basque Country.

FINKATUZ’s contribution will be allocated to a strategic growth plan involving an investment of around 50 million euros over the next three years, half of which will be executed in the Basque Country. This plan is focused on developing sustainable solutions, such as low emissions steel, expanding international presence in key markets such as the United States and Latin America, and improving digital and technological capabilities in production plants. 

This operation means Grupo Arania is the fourth strategic company to receive the support of FINKATUZ, along with ITP Aero, CAF and Kaiku Corporación. It also strengthens institutional support for key sectors such as steel processing and industrial storage solutions, in line with the industrial development strategy promoted by the Basque Government. 

With 85 years of history behind it, Grupo Arania has an annual production capacity of 400,000 tonnes of processed steel and exports 80% of its production to more than 65 countries. The group consists of five brands: Arania, Aratubo, AR Racking, AR Shelving and Lamincer, all of which recognised for their commitment to excellence and technological innovation. More than 1,100 people make up the group’s human capital, a key pillar in its strategy, which prioritises equality, diversity and professional development as cornerstones of its growth.
