Rooted in quality, innovation, and reliability, the project focuses on economic, social, and environmental areas. We are proud partners of the UN Global Compact since 2023, integrating its principles and aligning with Agenda 2030’s Sustainable Development Goals. Recognised with the EcoVadis Gold Certification, we continuously implement actions to reduce resource consumption.

Are you investing in staff training and skills development?
At AR Racking, investing in staff training and skills development is a fundamental pillar of our business strategy, particularly when it comes to our focus on R&D+i. Research and innovation are intrinsic to our philosophy, and to support this dedication, we have an advanced Technological Centre.
Our technical department is exclusively dedicated to the development of advanced engineering projects. Here, our highly qualified technical team conducts continuous tests with the aim of optimising the performance of our products. We use advanced specialised software to simulate, calculate, and investigate the effectiveness of geometries, as well as to perform comprehensive structural calculations on the behaviour of our systems in different situations.
A significant milestone in our commitment to research and testing is the creation of our Research and Testing Laboratory, AR Lab, in collaboration with the University of Mondragón since 2019. This state-of-the-art testing facility integrates various testing areas for struts, connectors, frames, beams, and other components, with a maximum capacity of 80 tons. AR Lab is not only a dedicated testing space but also a permanent environment for basic and applied research, doctoral theses, and specialised training. We are committed to staying at the forefront of innovation and technical excellence through continuous investment in the training and development of our talented team.
