COFIDES will finance the commercial rollout of Aranco in Germany, a company specialized in industrial packaging whose services are particularly geared toward the distribution, logistics, and food sectors.
Through a €500,000 loan from the Fund for Foreign Investment Operations of Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises (FONPYME), COFIDES will support the establishment of the company’s subsidiary in Germany—the second one launched by Aranco following its expansion into France.
Aranco is a group of companies with a presence in several European countries, made up of a Spanish family-owned SME founded in 1988 as the parent company, alongside its subsidiaries Aranco France and Aranco Deutschland. The company offers an integrated service that constitutes its main competitive advantage, based on a model where it designs and manufactures its own pallet wrapping machines, which it provides to customers along with high-performance stretch film, maintenance services, and access to digital tools that allow clients to monitor all key data in real time (e.g., number of pallets wrapped per machine, cost per pallet, meters of film used, etc.).
Investment in R&D and technology (robotics, AI systems for predictive maintenance, mobile apps for service management...), sustainability (development of high-performance films using PCR recycled raw materials, sustainable facilities, waste management policy with Zero Waste certification...), and now international expansion, are the core pillars of the company’s growth strategy.
Miguel Ángel Ladero, COFIDES Corporate Investment Director, emphasized the importance of Aranco’s commitment to innovation, digitalization, and sustainability across environmental, social, and governance dimensions. “These are strategic values that COFIDES actively promotes by financing projects and companies that, like Aranco, generate not only economic impact but also a positive footprint on society and the environment.”
Gaizka Lara Goiricelaya, CEO of Aranco, stated: “Our entry into Germany marks a significant step in consolidating our service model in Europe. At Aranco, we believe in a growth approach that blends innovation, sustainability, and close proximity to the customer. This new subsidiary will allow us to better meet the needs of the German market, delivering efficient, connected, and responsible packaging solutions. Our expansion not only strengthens our international presence but also drives us to keep developing technologies that improve productivity and reduce environmental impact. We continue to move forward with the same conviction that has guided us since the beginning: to deliver a service for a better world.”
