Sakana Group wins the Impulso Award for its commitment to innovation and industry with strong local roots
Industrial cooperative Sakana Group, an Enercluster member company, has been recognised with the Impulso Award at the Premios Diario de Noticias Sariak, a distinction that highlights its track record in production modernisation, competitiveness in global markets and strong territorial roots in the Sakana region. In an interview with Diario de Noticias on the occasion of the award, Jaime Urcola, Managing Director of Sakana Group, emphasised the collective nature of the recognition and the cooperative’s approach to growth: “This award is, above all, a recognition of the collective work of everyone who makes up Sakana Group”, stressing that “it is possible to grow, modernise and be competitive without giving up cooperative values or our roots in the region”. Among its recent initiatives, Sakana Group announced a 2,000 m² expansion in Lakuntza, aimed at optimising production processes and improving internal flows, logistics and plant organisation, with a direct impact on efficiency, quality and safety. The expansion will also make it possible to incorporate more advanced processes aligned with Industry 4.0, addressing the requirements associated with large-format components. In addition, the cooperative has secured the reclassification of a further 25,000 m², a measure which, as Urcola explains, does not imply immediate growth, but rather the ability to plan in an orderly way and with foresight. With around 300 jobs, Sakana Group advocates an industrial development model linked to generating opportunities in its local environment. In the words of its Managing Director, “industrial growth only makes sense if it creates quality jobs, stability and opportunities in the region”—a view consistent with its cooperative identity and its commitment to local employment, ongoing training and collaboration with Sakana’s social and economic fabric. Looking ahead, Sakana Group’s priorities include strengthening technological and process innovation, diversifying markets and consolidating its international presence, alongside a sustainability vision focused on energy efficiency, reducing environmental impact and more responsible processes.

Nabrawind to supply the world’s tallest and most powerful wind towers for a wind farm in Australia
Our member company Nabrawind Technologies will take part in one of the most advanced onshore wind projects worldwide, supplying 17 Nabralift towers for the Nullagine wind farm, developed by Fortescue in Australia. The project will feature Envision wind turbines that combine, for the first time in an onshore wind farm, a hub height of 188 metres, a unit capacity of 7.8 MW and a rotor diameter of 182 metres. To put their scale into context, these turbines are five times taller and fifteen times more powerful than those installed at the El Perdón wind farm in Navarra. The Nabralift tower, developed by Nabrawind, makes it possible to reach unprecedented hub heights without proportionally increasing project costs, optimising the use of wind resources at low-wind sites. The Nabralift 3.0 MAX model maintains a maximum tubular diameter of just 4.6 metres, enabling standard road transport and significantly reducing logistical challenges. In addition, the solution is designed to operate in extreme environments, from coastal areas with high wind speeds to the demanding climatic conditions of the Australian desert, reinforcing its suitability for large-scale international projects. From ENERCLUSTER, we congratulate Nabrawind on this new milestone, which strengthens the international projection of wind technology developed in Navarra and its contribution to the global energy transition.
