Our values - Fagor Arrasate

Vision

At FAGOR ARRASATE we aim to develop an innovative and shared social-business project that, based on the skills and know-how of our people and our commitment to the requirements and expectations of our customers, strengthens our position as a European company internationally renowned for the design and manufacture of machinery for cutting and shaping materials by deformation.

Our goals

To focus on our core business of deformation machinery by underpinning current activities and developing new customer bases, geographic markets and products.
To evolve towards product/market segments with greater added value, with a reinforced value proposal especially in terms of reliability and the purchasing experience for our customers (confidence, time, service, etc.).
To consolidate ourselves as a global supplier, capable of meeting the demands of our target customers anywhere in the world through the growing internationalisation of our activities throughout the value chain.
To develop our management practices in all areas, making the most of the synergies between the different businesses of the cooperative.
To promote FAGOR ARRASATE’s cooperative social and business project in terms of human and economic dimensions.

Values

As a founding member of the MONDRAGON Corporation, at FAGOR ARRASATE we base our values on the Basic Co-operative Principles. These principles reflect a set of ideas forged over more than six decades of cooperative activity and were approved at the first MONDRAGON Corporation Co-operative Congress in October 1987.

The values with which we seek to define our character, creating a sense of identity that fosters cohesion and develops a differentiated management philosophy, are as follows:

Co-operation: The company’s workers are owners, taking centre stage in all areas of FAGOR ARRASATE’s activity.
Innovation: We seek constant ongoing renewal in all fields of our activity.
Participation: Participation and commitment regarding management by all the people who make up the organisation is a right, as well as a commitment.
Social Responsibility: FAGOR ARRASATE is committed to the solidarity-based distribution of wealth, with a notable impact on the immediate environment, and we feel solidarity with its improvement and development.
