Batera: A Cooperative Alliance is Born to Drive a Sustainable Future in Álava

At RPK Group, we are excited to announce the launch of Batera—Arabako Kooperatibak Elkarlanean, an alliance formed by six industrial cooperatives from Álava to create a positive and lasting impact in our region. This initiative is rooted in a shared commitment to our community's social, economic, and environmental development.

Batera is more than a strategic alliance—it is a bridge to a more prosperous and sustainable future. We aim to strengthen the local cooperative business network through active collaboration among our companies, create new high-quality job opportunities, and promote an inclusive and responsible development model.

We are also proud to introduce Batera's new website—a digital space where we will share our actions, values, and challenges. We invite you to explore it: baterakoop.eus
