Euskadi – Basque Country offers international manufacturers access to a strong subcontracting industrial ecosystem in the north of Spain. Coordinated by the Álava Chamber of Commerce, the Basque stand connects buyers with a network of highly specialized manufacturing companies from across the region, helping them find reliable industrial partners and flexible production solutions.
The Basque Country is one of the most industrialized areas in Southern Europe, with a long tradition in heavy industry and advanced metallurgy. At ESEF Maakindustrie in Utrecht, we present the capabilities of Basque subcontracting companies across a wide range of manufacturing processes: heavy, medium and light sheet-metal working, precision machining, stamping, surface and thermal treatments, additive manufacturing, tooling, and foundry processes such as casting and forging.
This industrial network supports sectors including automotive, aerospace, energy, machinery and advanced equipment manufacturing.
Located around 1,000 km from the Netherlands (11 hours by road), the region also offers efficient logistics connections, including direct flights and maritime routes from the ports of Bilbao and Pasaia to Rotterdam.
