The associated companies employ over 5.800 people in the valley.
The thirty-three most recognised companies of Goierri have formed the association GOIERRI VALLEY, the first alliance in the world that joins, at the same time, different industrial subsectors and equipment and the same regional geographic area. GOIERRI VALLEY gathers tractor companies of the region (CAF, Irizar, AMPO, Indar, Orkli, Jaso, GH, Transbiaga…) and SMEs, which in most cases are their providers.
From the union of tractors and SMEs interests, has born the most complete industrial partner of the metal-mechanical sector of the world, for those seeking integral, innovative and competitive solutions. Situated in the region of Goierri (Basque Country), GOIERRI VALLEY seeks to lead the industrial transformation of the region through the real and active collaboration of the associated companies, sharing knowledge and innovating to guarantee the industrial competitiveness and future sustainability of the most industrialised geographic space in Euskadi and, probably, in Europe.
- VALUES OF THE ASSOCIATION
Competitiveness through shared knowledge. Develop new products, introduce in new sectors and new markets in order to guarantee the most competitive industrial fabric.
With enthusiasm and the desire to improve by doing things in a different way. Be involved, get to know and move closer for and in order to make transformation real and the mutual help. “It has always been done that way” is an idea that must be replaced.
Alliance for evolution. There is no reliable growth if we do not work side by side. The association is trying to become business relationships into relationships between people. Contributions from all the parts become us stronger. Real, active and honest collaboration between partners.
To go far you have to look around you. The sense of belonging is what unites us. We are in Goierri and we want to build a sustainable future for our environment.
- ACTS THAT HAVE ALREADY GIVEN RESULTS
But, GOIERRI VALLEY is more than a value combination. Although the association has been regularized now, the companies that are part of GOIERRI VALLEY have been working all together with the help of the Regional Development Agency, Goieki. This has allowed us to organise commercial missions in other countries (Chile, Mexico, Brazil, China, Mauritania, Guinea-Conakry, Scotland…) as well as inverse missions in order to make known the alliance potentiality and have presence on international exhibitions.
For example, nowadays big companies working in the energy sector are asking more integral suppliers that could provide them global solutions. Not only pieces or motorizations that are able to support extreme conditions of the sea or the mountains, but also the assembly of the windmills, their maintenance or even the logistics of those big towers and blades. Goierri Valley is the most complete industrial partner of the metal-mechanical sector worldwide.
DIALOGUES WITH THE ADMINISTRATIONS
Another purpose of GOIERRI VALLEY is to act as interlocutor with different administrations, with the aim of being attended in a better way the service improvements, resources and other aspects that have influence in the competitiveness of the companies in the region.
