What Fagor Arrasate does

Fagor Arrasate, S.COOP. is a Spanish industrial cooperative founded in 1957 and headquartered in Arrasate-Mondragón (Basque Country), operating as a founding member of MONDRAGON Corporation. The company designs, manufactures, assembles, and installs customized material cutting and forming equipment — including mechanical and hydraulic presses (6,300–120,000 kN capacity), blanking lines, press hardening systems, laser blanking, slitting lines (coils up to 2,650 mm wide and 50,000 kg), cut-to-length lines, processing lines, roller and stretch levelers, stacking solutions, bending, roll forming, dies, and composites lines — alongside its FAGOR SMART-CONNECT IoT digital service platform that delivers predictive maintenance, status monitoring, and production optimization (Visual Stamp, Syncro) across installed equipment.

The company serves global automotive OEMs and Tier-1 suppliers (Volkswagen, Gestamp, BYD, Great Wall Motors, SAIC), home appliance manufacturers (Electrolux, Whirlpool, Haier, BSH), steel mills and service centers (ArcelorMittal, Baosteel, Gonvarri), aerospace, forging, aluminum, solar, HVAC, racking, cookware, and die makers. Revenue is generated primarily through one-time capital equipment sales on a project-based, quote-driven basis with multi-year delivery from design through installation and commissioning, supplemented by recurring aftermarket services (spare parts, maintenance, retrofit/equipment modernization, advanced technical assistance) delivered through a network of 7 manufacturing and service plants in Spain, Germany, the United States, China, Mexico, Brazil, and Turkey. Disclosed annual turnover exceeds €200 million with a global workforce of 750–900 professionals.

In 2026 the company formed the Primus Robotics joint venture with Funditec to enter humanoid robotics manufacturing, partnered with Butech Bliss to expand coil-processing offerings in North America, renewed its R&D alliance with Mondragon Unibertsitatea, and completed the COMIC multi-material lightweighting project, signaling continued diversification beyond legacy metal-forming capital goods into electrification supply chains, digital services, and adjacent industrial robotics.
