Lantegi Batuak

What Lantegi Batuak does

Fundación Lantegi Batuak is a Bizkaia-based nonprofit foundation founded in 1983 under the umbrella of Gorabide (the Biscayan Association for People with Intellectual Disabilities). It operates a dual social-enterprise model: a multitechnological industrial services business spanning metal transformation, electronics assembly, electromechanical assemblies, wiring and cable manufacturing, and logistics, delivered through 20 industrial centers across Bizkaia (Abadiño, Elekbarri, Etxebarri, Gernika, Basauri, and others, plus a new logistics center in Iurreta with capacity for 60,000 references and 3,000 daily order lines); and an outsourcing services business covering cleaning, gardening, document management (via the Dokudea center of excellence), vending, and care services delivered across 40 localities.

The organization generated €93.9M in turnover and €235.9M in integrated social value in 2022, serving 3,179 people with disabilities and operating with a professional team exceeding 2,500. Its go-to-market relies on direct B2B service contracts with industrial and enterprise clients (Cikautxo, MESA Schneider, Iberdrola, BBVA), responsible public contracting with municipalities and provincial authorities across Bizkaia, and brand-building via trade shows (Matelec, Subcontratación), specialized programs (Lanerako supported employment, LanAukera, Academia Adaptada, Lan Eskola), and a recurring publication ("Lan Hotsa" magazine, "100% Capaces" blog).

The organization is led by President Susana Gorbeña and directors Ramón Bernal and Vicente Mestre. It has received multiple awards including A de Oro (Euskalit 2019), Premio Integra BBVA (2011), and Premio Ramón Rubial (entity of the year, 2012), and its individualized support model has been recognized internationally as a best practice by Schalock and Verdugo. Operationally it is governed as a nonprofit foundation with surpluses reinvested into the social mission; financial sustainability is anchored on public-sector demand for responsible contracting alongside enterprise outsourcing contracts.
