History:

The competition and the coexistence between the different enterprises dedicated to the manufacture of furniture and the incipient number of the specialised workers of the sector that wanted to create a movement to associate in cooperatives brought about a new way to formulate an enterprise to improve their economical and work conditions, and in the same time, to build a new strong and specialised enterprise. Like that, DANONA SOCIEDAD COOPERATIVA was founded, at the beginning of the spring of 1961. The fist building of new construction of 1.000m2 was placed in the vicinity of Landeta.

Although the unfortunate fire that was occurred in 1965, Danona Sociedad Cooperativa continued growing and it made a great step in his history with the incorporation of Caja Laboral and Lagun Aro (An important entity that got the different cooperatives of the Basque Country together) in January of 1968. This event allowed to Danona to consolidate like enterprise and to have a good position for the future challenges that were approaching. In 1969, Danona absorbed Euskalduna (a cooperative that also worked in the furniture sector) and favoured the fusion with another two local cooperatives; Cooperativa Obrera del Mueble y Loyola S.C.I. With the association of these four companies was created the great enterprise that we know nowadays.

Since the foundation of the enterprise until nowadays, its important to emphasize the inclusion of Danona in Mondragon Corporación Cooperativa in the Home Division in 1991 and the recently creation of GRUPO DEL MUEBLE. DANONA, S. Coop. in partnership with another four big companies of this corporation, which are dedicated to the manufacture of the furniture.
