What Mondragon Educación Internacional (MEi) does

MEi, operating as MLAKOOP and Grupo MLAKOOP, is a cooperative member of the MONDRAGON Corporation headquartered in Arrasate, Gipuzkoa, in Spain's Basque Country. The company is structured around three commercial brands — MondragonLingua (language training), Alecop (technical-educational equipment), and MLAKOOP (core services) — and manages Universidad MONDRAGÓN México in Querétaro, which serves over 3,000 students across preparatory, master's, executive, doctoral, and continuing education programs. Its service portfolio spans customized enterprise language training with FUNDAE bonus management, proprietary competency evaluation software, work-study alternation programs, LATAM talent attraction, complex document translation and plain-language adaptation, e-learning content development, technical manual generation, technical-didactic equipment manufacturing, and industrial electrical assembly (wiring and panels).

The operating model is B2B-led with a services-and-products mix. Revenue is generated through professional services contracts (training, translation, industrial assembly), hardware sales (technical-didactic equipment to universities and vocational centers), and the operational management of a higher education institution. Distribution is multi-channel: direct enterprise sales for corporate training and competency programs, direct institutional sales for educational equipment, in-house higher education operations in Mexico, and self-service brand websites for translation and language training. Customer segments include enterprise companies (primary), educational institutions, organizations requiring linguistic services, and individual students. The company holds ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certifications and positions itself for compliance with European Accessibility Act and UNE-ISO 24495-1:2024 plain-language standards. Geographic operations span Spain, Mexico, and Colombia, with stated international reach into broader Latin American markets.
