Ebone

What Ebone does

Ebone Servicios, Educación, Deporte S.L. is a Spanish private services company headquartered in Murcia that provides outsourced sports and socio-cultural service management to public administrations. With more than 20 years in the sector and a national workforce exceeding 1,000 qualified professionals, the company bids on public procurement contracts (licitaciones públicas) issued by municipalities and provincial bodies across Spain, supplying both personnel and material resources to operate sports facilities, socio-cultural programs, and team-building activities. Its operational footprint spans regional offices in Murcia, Granada (Armilla), and Ciudad Real, and it serves more than 16 named municipal and provincial administrations, including Madrid, Valencia, Murcia, Málaga, Alicante, Vitoria-Gasteiz, Alcalá de Henares, and Cabildo de Fuerteventura.

The company operates five business lines: Prestación de Servicios (managed staffing of sports and socio-cultural programs), Ebone Eventos (exclusive licensing of branded events such as Night Run, Circuito de las Estaciones, and Humanland, plus end-to-end event management), CUBOFIT (a proprietary outdoor gym concept built from maritime shipping containers, equipped with cardiac monitoring and AED devices), Ebone Formación (vocational training and certificados de profesionalidad for sports monitors, including PICE programs with the Cámara de Comercio de Granada), and Ebone Fit (a B2B/B2C e-commerce storefront for sports equipment at ebonefit.com). Supporting these is CIDE (Cátedra de Innovación Deportiva Ebone), an academic research chair launched in 2019 with the University of Granada and joined by the University of Alcalá and ESADE in subsequent years, producing publications, webinars, and management guides.

Ebone monetizes through public-procurement service contracts, event licensing and registration fees, hardware sales (CUBOFIT installations and Ebone Fit equipment), and training fees. The company is independently owned with no disclosed parent, no funding rounds, and no M&A activity, holding ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 45001:2018, and ENS Nivel Medio certifications that qualify it for tender requirements. Strategic partnerships with Universidad de Granada, Universidad de Alcalá, ESADE, and Fundación Española Deporte Seguro (FEDS) extend its research, safety, and medical-action capabilities for event delivery.
