“We are now big enough to compete, and we are currently in the process of reviewing our model to make it more efficient.”
Steel driven by people A corporate culture that is proud of its roots and home to a great team able to embrace both tradition and the avant-garde, offering a new perspective. We are Grupo Arania, processing steel since 1940. We’re a group that creates, manufactures and processes steel with an iron will for growth, and the strength to adapt through knowledge. We’re the experience, wisdom and values of all the people who work at Grupo Arania, with a tangible nexus: steel! What began as a modest project, with barely 100 people —the majority women— has evolved into an international industrial group specializing in steel processing, with more than 1100 people, 4 business units, 6 production plants (one in Slovakia), subsidiaries in Europe, and North and South America, and an R&D+i centre. Boldness, enthusiasm and commitment have always been our hallmarks of identity. We believe in people and the strength of teamwork. In our ever more technological reality, the human factor and the company’s culture are still key factors that set us apart. Hitza hitz.* In Euskera [*a way to reinforce the obligation of a promise]. Subentry of: hitz 1. s. word 2. s. promise 3. s. commitment. Honesty is part of our identity, it’s the expression of our nature, in our life and in our work. We’re a company whose roots bring value to the word, so we’re committed to honesty and transparency as our way of life, and that of our people and our origins. An intangible legacy inherited from the past that has been transferred to the group’s values and demands. People are at the centre of our corporate culture because our project began with their efforts and enthusiasm, working to build a sustainable future. We’re committed to the new sustainability policies because we firmly believe in their power to transform society, the environment and the economy. Living Sustainability represents all the actions we carry out within the sustainability strategy in Environment, Social and Governance issues. Our goals focus on promoting sustainable growth and a culture centred on caring for our stakeholders and the environment. .innovation .people .sustainability .adaptability .transparency .honesty 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.
