Against a backdrop of geopolitical uncertainty, rapid technological change and growing international competition, particularly from China, Danobatgroup has managed to maintain its growth trajectory. The Basque industrial group achieved a turnover of €366 million in 2025, more than 6% higher than the previous year.

The key to this result has been the intense international activity of its companies Danobat and Soraluce, with over 90% of sales of high value-added projects destined for overseas markets. The United States has established itself as one of the main destinations, accounting for 19% of business, whilst Germany and Italy are also showing positive growth.

By sector, aerospace has become the main driver of the business, accounting for 31% of orders. Also noteworthy are capital goods and general engineering (23%) and the energy sector (13%), which has doubled its share driven by the growing energy needs associated with data centres and artificial intelligence.

Innovation, investment and talent to face the future

The commitment to innovation remains one of the cornerstones of the Danobatgroup. In 2025, the group allocated 9% of its turnover to R&D&I activities, supported by the work of Ideko as a technology partner. Key milestones include the launch of the dBOT precision robots, the development of advanced automation solutions for Krones and new machining projects for the aerospace industry.

In addition, the group invested over €10 million in modernising its facilities and strengthening production capacity. Looking ahead, Danobatgroup has an order book exceeding €350 million, with projects committed until 2027.

At the end of 2025, the group employed 1,492 people, more than a thousand of them in the Basque Country, reinforcing its commitment to quality employment and the region’s industrial development.
