Embega, S. Coop. was founded in 1971 by a group of workers from the former household appliance company Agni (today
BSH Bosch und Siemens HausgeräteGmbH ), on the banks of Ega river, inEstella (Navarra ,Spain ).Since the beginning, Embega was integrated in the Caja Laboral's Enterprise Division (the root with other companies like Fagor, of the
Mondragón Cooperative Corporation ). Currently, Embega is integrated in the Components Division of the Industrial Sector of MCC.They began their
cooperative journey with 43 members, specialized in mechanizing, screen-printing and lithographing of metal plates forhousehold appliances ,automation and other decorative elements. In 1979, the anodizing and electrocoating plant for aluminium profiles, with 120 workers, started up.In their constant expansion, they created the Seals Division in 1982, contributing with it to the
watertightness solutions to a large range of products and markets, which was launched under the name of Egaprint. Seven years later, a new creation joined them:Keyboards Division, manufacturing frontplates andmembrane switches ,and further on, it started the manufacture ofmetallic keyboards. At that time there were about 210 workers on the cooperative staff.At the end of the 90's, they decided to get down to producing heat exchanger for domestic tumble dryers.

appliance market, Embega decided to enter into the polish market, under the name of Embega Polska in 2006, which produces domestic appliance components.External links
